ZERO: innovation in brick for joint-free brickwork

How can we have joint-free brickwork without coming into conflict with the basic rules of traditional bricklaying? 
                          Answer: ZERO, elegant in its simplicity!

Zero: elegant in its simplicity

With Zero®, Vandersanden has developed a new facing brick which allows you to create a clean and jointless façade in a simple way.

The secret is a recess at the top of the facing brick.

Zero: Quartis result

• No special mortar or tools are needed
• Joints are no longer needed: saving both time and money
• Result is visible immediately
• Facing brick gets dirty less quickly than joints, which slows down the ageing effect
• The tilting technique means that no excess mortar disfigures the front of the brick
• A suitable format 204 x 100 x 50mm is ideal for laying bricks in a half brick bond
  

Zero: traditional joint-free bricklaying

The beauty of Zero® is that the facing brick can be used according to the classic bricklaying methods. The builder will also need a profile, a level (line and pins or spirit level) and a trowel.

By creating a recess at the top of the facing brick, the mortar will sink - for a large part – into the brick. This will leave you with a joint view of hardly 4mm.

Zero: no excess mortar disfigures the outside of the brick

The brick is applied to the row underneath by a tilting motion, starting at the front, ending at the back, pressing the mortar into the brick.

This way, the front of the brick will remain clean at all times. There is hardly any difference with the classic method of bricklaying.
