What are clay bricks?
Clay bricks are a type of masonry unit made from natural clay, shaped and fired at high temperatures to create a durable, weather-resistant, and visually appealing building material.
Their warm, earthy tones and natural textures make them a favourite for projects that seek both tradition and style.
Unlike concrete or sand-lime bricks, clay bricks are renowned for their deep colour retention, resistance to fading, and superior longevity.
They’re widely used for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, internal and external cladding, landscaping, and architectural detailing.
Benefits of using clay bricks
1 Timeless aesthetics
Clay bricks offer a classic, natural look that never goes out of style. With colours ranging from deep reds and russets to soft creams and greys, clay bricks can be used to create everything from rustic charm to sleek modern facades. Each brick has its own subtle variations in texture and hue, adding a level of character that manufactured alternatives often lack.
2 Long-term durability
Clay bricks are fired at temperatures of over 1,000°C, creating a dense and hard-wearing product that resists weathering, frost, and fire. With proper construction, clay brickwork can last well over 100 years - making it one of the most sustainable building materials on the market.
3 Low maintenance
Once installed, clay bricks require very little maintenance. They don’t fade, peel, or rot and won’t be damaged by pests or fungi. Occasional cleaning is all that’s needed to keep them looking their best.
4 Energy efficiency
Clay bricks have excellent thermal mass, which helps regulate indoor temperatures year-round. They absorb heat during the day and release it slowly at night, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling - a key benefit for eco-conscious builders and homeowners.
5 Environmental sustainability
Clay is a naturally occurring material, and many brick manufacturers now use recycled content and low-carbon production processes. Additionally, brick buildings can often be deconstructed, and the bricks reused, helping to minimise construction waste.
