Bricks are available in many colours and finishes. Bricks provide attractive and durable paving and are aesthetically and structurally very successfully used in retaining and garden walls. Other outdoor structures such as BBQs, gazebos and solid columns look attractive in the same brick as the home.If you cannot find an exact match to the bricks of your home it is wise to try the second hand yards as most times a match can be found.

The following bricks are available:

  • Extruded bricks - these are the bricks you see with holes in them. The clay is extruded and baked. These bricks are economical to use and are available in a range of colours and finishes
  • Dry Pressed Bricks which are made by compressing and baking clay in the traditional manner.
  • Hebel bricks - these bricks are constructed of aerated concrete and are extremely light and easily cut. They are available in panels and blocks and are used for housing, walls, fences etc. The bricks provide excellent soundproofing due to the air spaces contained within them. Construction with Hebel bricks is very fast and thus economical. These bricks need to be rendered to finish off.
