 Catnic Brikmat has been hailed a success after undergoing rigorous training by CERAM Research, one of the UK's leading testing facilities. The tests revealed that, by using Catnic Brikmat, contractors can build up to three times faster while using 60 % less mortar. According to the manufacturers, the tests also revealed that the masonry support system also improves the stability of walls during construction, allowing brickies to build walls of up to 10 courses. This is compared to five or six courses without the support system.
CERAM's Dave Dix said: "Our testing revealed that Brikmat prevents the over-stressing of masonry to allow a work rise of up to 10 courses of blockwork in a single build. Without Brikmat, walls were stopped at five or six due to bowing and other stability problems."
