Coverage, with the working
A 290 x 90 mm face plus a 10 mm joint gives a coordinating size of 300 x 100 mm, so 1 / (0.300 x 0.100) = 33.3 units per square metre of single skin.

A single skin of maxi bricks gives a 140 mm wall.
What it is for
Where it goes.
- Residential developments
- Housing projects
- Schools and public buildings
- Commercial developments
Why builders choose it
Four reasons, spelled out.
01
Faster construction
One maxi covers the wall area of roughly three stock bricks, so a team lays the same square metres in materially less time.
02
Reduced mortar consumption
Fewer joints per square metre means less mortar mixed, carried and struck. On a housing development that is a real line item.
03
Excellent structural performance
A 140 mm unit gives a single skin wall that carries load without a second leaf, which is why it dominates subsidised and affordable housing.
04
Economical building solution
Lower installed cost per square metre once labour and mortar are counted, even where the unit price is higher than a stock brick.
