Seminar
The Vandersanden Inspiration CPD series - CPD #7 Brick: circularity, sustainability and innovation
In this CPD we focus on providing information to be considered when specifying brick as a sustainable material.
We provide a brief introduction to brick as a building material, and then look at sustainability goals and definitions providing references and useful resources.
We look at how bricks are manufactured to ensure long term sustainability, and look at the important role innovation plays to reduce the use of clay through manufacture of thin bricks and manufactured brick slips, to meet the required standards for the circular economy.

This CPD also provides information on industry standards, health and safety, brick supply, management & handling. An essential CPD for all specifiers
By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- key features of clay brick, industry standards, health & safety, brick supply, management & handling
- options for reduced use of clay in manufacturing bricks and brick slips
- the end of life circularity of clay brick - reuse and recycling
- resources available to design to achieve sustainable outcomes/sustainable buildings
- innovations in brick for sustainability - the future of brick

Seminar
Movement in brickwork
How to design to accommodate movement in brickwork and the possible causes and types of movement, including where to position vertical and horizontal movement joints in clay brickwork to allow for movement and prevent cracking. The seminar outlines the various movement joint materials and explains how including bed joint reinforcement in brickwork may be helpful in designing to accommodate movement. Technical considerations to be addressed for cavity wall construction and stability, both generally and in relation to movement joints. The seminar also provides information on the important considerations when designing and building with brick, including industry standards, health and safety, brick supply, management & handling.
- Understand the key features of clay brick
- Understand the anatomy of a brick and the different brick types
- Understand the causes and types of movement, how to accommodate movement and locate movement joints
- Understand bed joint reinforcement and technical considerations for cavity wall construction
- Understanding the key considerations when designing and building with brick
