Stock Bricks

These are machine-moulded bricks with a ‘frog’ indent. The use of sand to release the brick from the mould contributes to its soft appearance and slightly irregular shape.

Handmade Bricks

These are hand thrown bricks with a distinctive creased texture.

Machine-Moulded Handmade Bricks

These are machine thrown bricks with a subtle creased texture.

Glazed bricks

These are bricks coated with a durable, glass-like ceramic glaze that makes them smooth, glossy, and resistant to weathering, stains, and moisture. The glaze is applied to the brick before firing, fusing it into the unit and creating a hard, waterproof finish. Available in various colors, textures, and finishes, glazed bricks add both aesthetic appeal and functional durability to interior and exterior architectural projects, from decorative walls to cladding.

Waterstruck Bricks

These are moulded bricks released from the mould by water. They are solid and contain no holes or frogs. The use of water, together with the wetness of the clay, produces a smooth and lipped edge or arris.

Extruded or Wirecut Bricks

These bricks are made by extruding clay through a dye and cutting the brick-shaped column with a wire. This process produces a smooth brick, more regular in shape, with sharp clean edges. Surface textures can be applied by adding sand or texturing the face.
