Understanding Double Cant Bricks and Their Applications

A double cant brick is a specially shaped masonry unit featuring symmetrical sloped or bevelled chamfers along two opposite edges. Indeed, these angled profiles create smooth geometrical transitions across wall tops, pillars, and window reveals. Structurally, these XL double cant bricks perform a vital functional role alongside their striking visual appeal.

• Wall Copings and Capping: Masons lay these units along boundary walls to form a protective crowning course.

• Pillars and Piers: Builders use these chamfered units around columns to craft clean, refined transitions.

• Window and Door Reveals: Masons frame structural openings with these sloped profiles to soften sharp 90-degree masonry corners.

• Water Shedding: The dual sloped surface actively deflects rainwater away from vulnerable mortar joints below.

Consequently, using XL double cant bricks shields your core brickwork from costly water ingress and freeze-thaw damage. However, these bricks do not have a drop channel unlike specific walling materials such as blue saddleback copings.

The Benefits of New Old Stock Materials

These unused concessions XL double cant bricks offer a brilliant balance of structural integrity and authentic character. Although these clean bricks are unused, extended storage time has given some units light, natural weathering. In fact, this minor surface variation adds attractive visual texture to your finished brickwork without compromising strength.

Furthermore, choosing new old stock allows you to source premium, fully sound Staffordshire blue clay materials sustainably. Additionally, these XL double cant bricks deliver the rugged charm of reclaimed stock alongside guaranteed structural soundness. As a result, you gain high-grade, durable capping units that bring instant historic character to new masonry builds.
