Is it environmentally friendly? Have Nawtint recieved any media coverage? What is Nawtint? Nawtint is a final color finish applied to a unique face brick and mortar construction. Nawtint is applied after the bricks have been laid. The Nawtint finish impregnates the surface of the brickwork giving it the final color. The finish is durable and permanent and (provided the bricks and mortar are constructed to our specification and meet Building Industry codes) will last for a minimum of 25 years. The Nawtint system does not require maintenance or re-application as is the case for other commercially available applied finishes. How does it work? Nawtint is applied using an absorption process. After absorption the Nawtint colorants and binders cure to become an integral part of the brickwork surface. How much does it cost? For pricing please contact Austral Bricks on 02 9830 7777 or info@australbrick.com.au How long does it last? The Nawtint coloring system has been tested to last for a minimum of 25 years providing that the brickwork construction meets Industry Standards and our Nawtint Brickwork specification. It will not fade or peel or blister or appear chalky or wash out. warranty available - What does it cover?

See Example warranty available Can a common brick be used? No, the system has been purposely designed for use in conjunction with a specific face brick. Why Austral bricks? Currently Austral Bricks have developed a brick suitable for use with Nawtint. How long does it take to apply? This depends on the size of the project and site conditions and weather. In good conditions an average sized house or villa will take 1-3 days. At what stage of construction is it done? When the brickwork has been completed and the brickwork surface is dry and the roof and gutter/fascia has been installed. Preferably the downpipes have been attached to the gutter but not finally fixed to the brickwork. Earth and rubbish should be removed from bridging the edge of the concrete slab and the lower courses of brickwork. Scaffolding and roof safety rails should be in place for our applicators to access elevated brickwork. What sort of mortar joint is required? An off white full and flush joint is required. How is it applied? The Nawtint product is applied via a 2 or 3 stage controlled absorption using a combination of rolling and brushing techniques. Any waste product is returned to our site.
