Air Brick T/Cotta External

The Terracotta External Air Brick is a practical building ventilation component designed to allow airflow through compatible exterior walls while providing a neat, finished appearance. Its terracotta colour works particularly well with traditional brickwork and similarly toned exterior building finishes.

Air bricks are commonly incorporated into building projects where passive ventilation is required. The openings allow air to move through the wall while the surrounding structure maintains a clean and organised finish.

Always ensure that the air brick is appropriate for the specific ventilation requirement before installation.

Installation Considerations

Correct positioning is important for an effective ventilation system.

During installation:

• Determine the required ventilation points before construction.
• Ensure the opening is correctly sized for the air brick.
• Install the air brick securely within compatible masonry.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of mortar and building debris.
• Ensure the unit is installed in the correct orientation.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation openings after installation.
• Follow appropriate masonry installation practices.
• Confirm that the installation complies with applicable building requirements.

For critical ventilation requirements, consult an appropriately qualified building professional.

Keep Ventilation Openings Clear

After installation, the openings in the air brick should remain unobstructed to allow airflow.

Avoid covering the air brick with:

• Paint that blocks the openings
• Plaster
• Mortar
• Soil
• Landscaping materials
• Stored objects
• Other building materials

Periodically inspect external air bricks and remove dirt, debris, insects’ nests or other material that may restrict airflow.

Important Product Information

Before purchasing the Terracotta External Air Brick, confirm the exact:

• Product dimensions
• Material
• Terracotta colour/finish
• Ventilation opening configuration
• Airflow capacity where specified
• Installation orientation
• Exterior suitability
• Recommended masonry application
• Manufacturer installation requirements

Ventilation requirements can vary according to the building design and intended application. Do not determine required ventilation capacity based solely on the number of air bricks without considering the applicable building requirements.
