What Is An Air Brick?
An air brick, akin to a regular brick but with holes for airflow, ensures proper building ventilation. Typically placed under floor joists, they reduce moisture beneath floorboards, preventing dampness or timber decay due to trapped condensation. Determining if your property requires air bricks depends on factors like floor construction and existing ventilation methods in the building.
What Is An Air Brick Used For?
An air brick is like a special brick with holes that let air flow through. It’s used to help buildings stay ventilated by allowing fresh air in. Installing air bricks helps keep the area under the floors dry and stops dampness from causing damage.

Problems With Air Bricks
Some very old homes may not have had air bricks built into them. Over the decades, improvements such as installing double-glazed windows will have increased the need for better ventilation in the property. Air brick installation could be the best solution.
Air bricks can create a draught through floorboards, and to stop this from happening, the holes in the brick are sometimes unwisely sealed. This action can cause a host of problems with damp and rotting timber. A replacement air brick should be the answer.
Improvements made to the outside of a property, such as new driveways or garden landscaping, can accidentally cover air bricks if there is a rise in the ground level. Restoring the air bricks will correct the issue.
