Why Choose Cement Stock Bricks for Your Building Project

If you are planning a construction project around Rustenburg, Pretoria, Magaliesburg, Thabazimbi, Northam, or Brits, you want building materials that combine strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. That’s exactly what Cemblocks’ stock bricks deliver.

What Are Stock Bricks?

Stock bricks are standard, off-the-shelf cement bricks manufactured to specific strength grades. At Cemblocks, we produce stock bricks in three strengths:

• 7 MPa

• 10 MPa

• 14 MPa (Engineering Stock Brick) (cemblocks.co.za)

These bricks are made using recycled sand and stone, which helps minimise environmental impact while maintaining high quality.

Applications & Versatility

Because of their consistency, stock bricks are ideal for a wide range of applications around Rustenburg and nearby areas:

• Residential housing

• Commercial or corporate buildings

• Schools, clinics, public buildings

• Boundary walls and fencing

• DIY or smaller build projects

Whether your project is in Pretoria, Magaliesburg, Thabazimbi, Northam, or the greater North West Province, these bricks give you dependable performance.

Strength Grades & How to Choose

Choosing the correct MPa is key:

• Use 7 MPa bricks for non-load-bearing walls, infill, or fencing

• 10 MPa is suitable for standard load-bearing walls in many residential homes

• For heavier structural applications or multi-storey buildings, go with 14 MPa (Engineering Stock Bricks)

Your structural engineer or builder in Magaliesburg, Thabazimbi, or Northam can advise which grade is best for your soil and wind load factors.

Tips for Builders & Homeowners in the Rustenburg Region

• Bulk ordering: If your site is in Pretoria or along the Magaliesburg corridor, ordering in bulk reduces per-brick cost and transport fees.

• Storage on site: Keep bricks off the ground, covered from rain but ventilated, especially during the rainy season.

• Mortar compatibility: Use the correct cement:sand mix for the brick strength (e.g. 1:6 or 1:5 mix) to avoid cracking or efflorescence.

• Foundation adequacy: In areas with expansive soils (such as around Thabazimbi and Rustenburg), ensure foundation depth is sufficient to mitigate settlement.

• Check for quality on delivery: Bricks should not be chipped, cracked, or deformed. Reject any batches that don’t match the specification.

  
  

Case Study: A Project in Northam

A client building an industrial facility in Northam chose 14 MPa engineering stock bricks for durability. Because Cemblocks is located in Rustenburg, delivery to Northam was fast and cost-effective. The contractor praised the uniform size and ease of laying, resulting in stronger structural walls and reduced wastage.
