1. INTRODUCTION
This Technical Manual has been produced by the team at Edenhall,
drawing on over 60 years of knowledge and experience in the
manufacture of concrete bricks in the United Kingdom, to assist
industry professionals in the design, specification and application
of the bricks for all aspects of buildings and construction.
The Manual is laid out in a simple format for easy
access to the various sections covering the products
manufactured by Edenhall, with their specifications,
characteristics and standards, through functional
performance and design, ending up with practical site
guidance. More comprehensive technical information
on each section is referenced throughout the manual
and summarised in the Appendix as: Brick Technical
Data Sheets; Brick Technical Bulletins; Health & Safety
Data Sheets and “Questions & Answers”. All the
documents are available as downloads on our website
www.edenhall.co.uk.
This Manual, together with the supporting material on
our website, is designed to be the reference point for
advice and guidance on concrete bricks manufactured
and supplied by Edenhall. If you require further details or
information please contact the Company where someone
will be happy to help. Please note that not all concrete
bricks are the same and therefore this Manual may not be
relevant to products offered by other organisations.
The information and guidance contained in this Technical
Manual is regularly reviewed as part of Edenhall’s
