Dreamcast Cement Maxi Brick Standard Size - High-Speed, Load-Bearing Walling Unit

Efficient Construction and Structural Wall Coverage

 

The Dreamcast Cement Maxi Brick is a cost-effective masonry unit praised by builders for its speed of installation and reliable structural performance. Being significantly larger than a standard brick, the Maxi format allows masons to cover a greater wall area with fewer units, substantially reducing laying time and labour costs while maintaining necessary load-bearing capacity.

This brick is robustly manufactured by Dreamcast from high-quality cement and aggregate, making it suitable for both external and internal load-bearing walls. The increased width of the Maxi Brick (typically 140mm wide) creates a durable, solid wall with inherent advantages in thermal mass and acoustic insulation compared to thinner alternatives. Buying by the cubic yard (YD) ensures a cost-effective bulk purchase for quick, efficient construction phases.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. How many Maxi Bricks are typically in a Cubic Yard (YD)?

   • Due to their larger size, a cubic yard contains fewer Maxi Bricks than standard bricks, typically between 650 to 750 units. Always confirm the precise count or coverage area with your supplier.

2. Can I use Maxi Bricks for a single-skin wall?

   • Yes. The 140mm width of the Maxi Brick is often sufficient to form a robust single-skin wall, which is a key advantage over standard bricks that typically require a double-skin (cavity) wall for equal strength.

3. Are these bricks designed to be left exposed (unplastered)?

   • No. Like other "Stock" quality bricks, the Maxi Brick has a rough, unrefined finish intended to be covered with plaster or render. For exposed face brickwork, a dedicated face brick product is required.
