Types of Bricks Available

Engineering and Common Bricks

Our engineering bricks are designed for strength, moisture resistance, and durability, making them a popular choice for structural applications like foundations, retaining walls, and areas exposed to damp conditions. Alongside these, common bricks offer a practical choice for general construction work.

Air Bricks, Cavity Liners, and Floor Vents

Ventilation is an essential part of many builds, and our air bricks, cavity liners, and floor vents provide a reliable way to ensure airflow, reduce moisture, and protect long-term building performance. Available in a variety of sizes and colours, they combine function with a clean finish for both domestic and commercial properties.

Specials and Bespoke Options

For projects that require more than just standard sizes, we stock specials, offering shaped and purpose-made bricks to achieve specific design and construction requirements.

Choosing the Right Brick for Your Project

The right brick depends on your project’s needs. Engineering bricks are the strongest choice where high compressive strength and frost resistance are required, such as below ground or in retaining walls. Commons are suitable for everyday building where structural performance is key, but appearance is less important. Air bricks and liners are chosen to improve ventilation, especially around floors and cavities. For aesthetic or specialist projects, specials provide flexibility in shape and finish.

When choosing bricks, also consider frost resistance (rated F1 or F2), water absorption, and compressive strength. These technical properties determine how suitable a brick is for certain environments and applications.
