Architectural Masonry
Colinwell Architectural Masonry is manufactured from cement, specially selected graded aggregates, an integral waterproofer and pigment. The production method involves the compaction of these materials under great pressure using specialised block manufacturing equipment and curing the resulting blocks in kilns with controlled amounts of heat and steam. This process ensures that the blocks are efflorescence free.
AuthorityColinwell Architectural Masonry is manufactured to BS EN 771.3. Colinwell has achieved Quality Assurance Accreditation under BS EN 9001.
Complying with BS EN 772.4 Solid, Cellular and Hollow blocks have a Drying Shrinkage values of less than 0.04%. Water absorption for all blocks is less than 6%.
TolerancesBlocks are manufactured to tolerance category D2 within the European Standard BS EN 771.5: 2003.
Length +1mm,-3mmWidth +1mm,-3mmHeight +2mm *
*Manufacturers declared tolerance
Compressive StrengthAs a rule in excess of 10.5N.Higher strengths available on request.
ShapeColinwell Masonry blocks are rectangular with sharp arises. Solid blocks are unperforated. Cellular and hollow blocks contain voids. Standard components and Specials available are: Half blocks, Quoins/Cavity Closers, Squints, Cills, Lintel and Bond-beam blocks.
Non-standard components and specials may be cut from standard units or, depending on quantity, manufactured to the designers individual requirements.
Dimensions & WeightsColinwell Masonry is available in two face sizes - metric 440 x 215mm and modular metric 390 x 190mm. Details of work sizes and weights of blocks are illustrated in this brochure. The co-ordinating size is the space allocated for the block including mortar joints and tolerances. The work size is that specified for manufacture of the block subject to tolerances. Weights are averages and may vary slightly.
Finish / TextureColinwell Masonry is available with five different surface finishes - Smooth, Split Face, Split Fluted, Shotblasted and Ground Face (Murazzo).
Density & Thermal ConductivityAverage Density: 2100Kg/m3. Allowing a moisture content of 5% externally and 3% internally; the k value for Colinwell Masonry on each leaf of a cavity wall would be 1.35W/mºC and 1.25W/mºC respectively.
Sound InsulationThe density of Colinwell Masonry gives the blocks excellent sound reduction qualities. The average sound reduction index over a range 100-3150 Hz based on the Mass Law Principle for plain unplastered walls is as follows:
Sound Insulation (dB)

Fire ResistanceColinwell Masonry blocks are non-combustible and will not contribute to the spread of flame. For the period of Fire Resistance for various types of blocks refer to our Technical Department or to the Fire Resistance section of BS 5628 Part 3. White, Oatmeal, Salmon, Ochre, Cream, Green, Sandstone, Bianca and Crema are manufactured using aggregates categorized as Class 1. All other colours are manufactured from aggregates categorised as Class 2
ApplicationsColinwell Masonry can be used in the construction of external and internal load bearing and non-load bearing walls, including the inner and outer leaves of cavity walls, party walls, partition walls and boundary walls. They can be used below D.P.C. They can also be used as reinforced masonry walls through incorporation of bed joint reinforcement or placing reinforced concrete in the cores of hollow blocks.
Shear Bond StrengthShear Bond of Colinwell Masonry is 0.15N/mm2 in accordance with Annex C of BS EN 998.2.
DurabilityThe high quality of the blocks gives them an effective indefinative life. In addition, all blocks are waterproofed which besides aiding their resistance to rain helps them retain their fresh, clean appearance. Blocks are unaffected by frost.
Control / Movement JointsAs a general rule the spacing between control joints should be between 6 and 10 metre intervals. These are guideline figures and for specific recommendations we suggest consultation with our Technical Department at design stage.
Mortar / LayingIn normal conditions a 1:1:6 cement:lime:sand mortar is suitable. It is recommended that the mortar be waterproofed and tinted to compliment or contrast with the blocks colour. Any surplus mortar should be removed with a trowel immediately, otherwise the face of the block may be permanently marked. The joints should be compacted with a jointing tool, taking care to give as consistent a finish as possible. For best appearance we usually recommend pole/bucket handle jointing. Blocks should also be built at random from 3 cubes/bales in order to minimise any possibility of a colour banding effect.

Distribution and SupplyObtainable direct from Colinwell - delivery to start approximately three weeks from receipt of written order and to an agreed programme.
MaintenanceWhen built Colinwell Masonry does not require any initial surface treatment or maintenance apart from occasional washing if desired. The appearance of external walls built with Colinwell Masonry will improve with age.

Density & Thermal ConductivityAverage Density: 2100Kg/m3. Allowing a moisture content of 5% externally and 3% internally; the k value for Colinwell Masonry on each leaf of a cavity wall would be 1.35W/mºC and 1.25W/mºC respectively.
Air Permeability
The latest amendments to Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power) of the Building Regulations include a limit on Air Permeability.
Colinwell Paint Grade Blocks, when used to construct the internal leaf of the cavity wall of a building, add significantly to the overall air tightness of the building.This improves the thermal efficiency of the building and ultimately contributes to minimising energy use.
Colinwell Paint Grade Blocks have been tested independently by BISRA for Air Leakage and return excellent results. Please contact our Technical Department for copies of these certificates, if required.
