The material properties of a brick masonry are important when modelling or comparing different veneers. The effect of mortar joint, however, is somewhat an unknown variable. In this study, two different firing batches of a hollow burnt-clay brick product were tested for thermal conductivity, water vapor permeability, water absorption coefficient and capillary moisture content. Brick and mortar materials were tested both exclusively and as masonry specimens. The effect of brick-mortar interface was within margin of error for the first brick batch with slightly lower density, while batch two water vapor permeability, water absorption coefficient and capillary moisture content were noticeably affected. The effect of brick-mortar interface seems to be dependent on brick properties. The differences in hygric properties between brick batches were large, but below 100 %. Accounting for mortar using area weighted properties can improve modelling accuracy, but other factors such as workmanship, degradation and brick batch differences are likely more important.
