Brikmat support system: plastic mat

Brikmat plastic support mat is a fully tested and BBA certified product that can be used with all types of masonry. It is injection moulded from polypropylene and has two main functions, these being to support the weight of heavy masonry units while mortar cures, and to gauge the mortar joint.

Typically, mortar is 'compressed' or 'squeezed' out from the joint under the weight of the masonry units during a build, resulting in many practical problems for the bricklayer, and programme related problems for the contractor, by limiting the height that can be achieved in a single lift.

By eliminating bed joint compression caused by the weight of the masonry units, and by at the same time providing support feet which are set to give the correct mortar bed height, the use of Brikmat can enable more courses to be laid in a single lift, thus ensuring that the specified gauge height of the build can be achieved without any of the typical problems normally encountered.
