Important Notes
・The joint width for CAN’BRICK “England (ENG)” should be approximately 12mm.
・CAN’BRICK “England (ENG)” has irregular dimensions and a wide color range, which produce a more antique finish.
・When installing on an exterior wall, always fill the joints to at least 2/3 of the brick thickness. Without enough jointing mortar, water works its way behind the brick and causes it to come loose.
・For exterior walls we recommend “Repel S,” a penetrating water repellent, to help prevent staining, deterioration and efflorescence.
・To bring out the full range of color and texture, mix pieces from several cartons.
・CAN’BRICK is a cement product. Never acid wash it.
▶︎About precast concrete products
・The quantities required per ㎡ and per m assume the recommended joint width.
FAQ
FAQ
Q1. Can CAN'BRICK be used on exterior walls?
Yes, it can be used on exterior walls.
To keep it looking its best, we recommend using it together with our ancillary material “Repel S” (penetrating water repellent).
Q2. Is CAN'BRICK an imported product?
No. It is made in Japan.
Our craftsmen make each piece by hand at our own factory in Japan, so we can still supply matching material if repairs are needed in the future.
Q3. I have heard that precast concrete brick tiles such as CAN'BRICK are weaker than porcelain tiles. Is that true?
It is true that the strength is lower than porcelain tile. In recent years, however, installation with flexible adhesive has become standard practice, which compensates for this weakness, and cracking has decreased significantly.
If a crack does occur, our ancillary material “BRICK+AID” makes the repair simple.
Q4. Since CAN'BRICK is a cement product, is the cut edge cement gray?
No. Pigment is mixed into the mortar, so the cut edge is the same color as the face.
When cutting on site, we recommend scoring a line and splitting the piece with a chisel and hammer.
Q5. Is there a risk that the product will be discontinued?
No. Even if a product is discontinued for reasons on our side, we can produce it again at our own factory.
You can specify it with confidence, knowing that material will be available if repairs become necessary.
Q6. Is CAN'BRICK non-combustible? Please tell us the certification number.
CAN'BRICK is a non-combustible material.
Under the Building Standards Act, non-combustible materials fall into the following 2 types:
“Designated”: materials designated as non-combustible by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
“Certified”: materials granted individual certification by the Minister
The mortar and concrete that CAN'BRICK is made from are classified as “designated” non-combustible materials. The certification number we are often asked about is issued only for “certified” materials.
Both qualify as non-combustible materials under the Building Standards Act and can be used in the same way.
Q7. Can it be used around wood stoves and fireplaces?
Yes, wherever the surface temperature stays at or below 200℃. Ordinary resin-based adhesives lose bond strength at these temperatures, so a mortar-based adhesive is required. Our guide “Can brick tile be used on wood stove and fireplace walls? Heat resistance and installation guide” compares the heat resistance of different adhesives and explains what to watch for during installation.
