Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 23, 2019 12:12 pm Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster, great to be here! Wondering whether anyone is aware if theres any rules relating to perpend width for bevelled edge bricks? Example: (Birds eye view of brick) https://ibb.co/HFXNz6V Would the Perpend width be measured from 1, or 2? The reason I ask, is the mortar work on my house in some locations currently is laid like this: https://ibb.co/mTC0kxx Which gives the appearance that the perps are actually much bigger (up to 25mm), and just doesn't look very nice! The only thing I have found is that you *should* choose raked when dealing with bevelled bricks for this very reason, but i don't believe its mandated in the standards anywhere. I did ask for the joints to be rolled, too, of course not knowing anything about this. Help would be appreciated - Thanks! New here..
