Product Information
Full details
This Rhino Build Brickwork Profile is designed for bricklayers and construction professionals using Dori blocks and clamps. Its key benefit is providing a lightweight yet strong aluminium guide with a pre-printed 75mm gauge for accurate bricklaying, while leaving other faces free for custom markings. A caveat to note is that the printed gauge may be affected if the cap is removed, and like all printed metal, the markings can scratch over time, though this does not compromise the profile's structural integrity or function.

FAQs
What material is the brickwork profile made from?
The profile is made from lightweight and strong aluminium.
What is the purpose of the printed gauge?
The 75mm printed gauge provides a quick reference for setting accurate brick courses, speeding up the bricklaying process.
Can I add my own markings to the profile?
Yes, three of the four faces are left unprinted specifically to allow users to add their own custom markings.
How durable are the printed markings?
The markings are printed using durable ink that has withstood daily use in trials. However, like any printed metal, they can be scratched off if subjected to heavy abrasion down to the raw aluminium.
What does it mean that the profile conforms to BS EN 755-9:2001?
This standard relates to the chemical composition and mechanical properties of aluminium and aluminium alloys, ensuring the profile meets specific quality and safety requirements.
Will scratches affect the structural integrity of the profile?
No, superficial scratches and blemishes are cosmetic and do not affect the performance or structural integrity of the profile once it is set up for use.
How should I clean the profile?
Clean the profile with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the printed markings.
Troubleshooting
Printed gauge is difficult to read
Ensure the profile is clean and free from dust or mortar. In bright sunlight, use a contrasting marker to highlight the lines if needed.
Profile does not feel secure
Verify that the Dori blocks and clamps are securely fastened to both the profile and the supporting structure. Check for any obstructions that might prevent a tight fit.
Markings are showing signs of wear
This is expected with prolonged use on metal surfaces. For continued accuracy, consider re-marking the affected areas on the unprinted faces or using alternative measurement methods.
