Cob Blocks and Cob Bricks

Building with cob blocks or cob bricks requires no specialist skills. A competent DIY’er or general builder can undertake an effective construction. Good practice, as with conventional brick or block laying, expects a staggering of vertical jointing. There are various bonding mortars to choose from and these include Natural Hydraulic Limes (NHL), non-hydraulic limes or earth mortars.
