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.
