Burnt Clay Bricks

A traditional and still widely used walling material, valued for thermal performance and local availability.

Used for

  • External and internal walls
  • Boundary walls
  • Decorative facades

Quality considerations

  • Well-fired bricks should sound solid (not dull) when tapped and should not crumble at the edges.
  • Check for consistent size and shape to keep mortar joints even.

Common mistakes

  • • Using under-fired bricks that absorb too much water and weaken over time.

Priced per brick or per thousand; varies significantly by district and kiln proximity.
