Made from clay, long format bricks offer very similar benefits to standard sized bricks but with additional design impact. Whether they’re used across your full facade or as a feature detail, long format bricks can highlight the linear aspects of your project in delicate and interesting ways. Additionally, brickwork provides:
Fire resistance: Because of the materials used, clay products are non-combustible as standard and will not contribute to the spread of fire.
Durability: Bricks are an incredibly durable product, lasting for hundreds of years without maintenance. There are brick buildings across the world that have stood for thousands of years and linear bricks are no exception.
Sustainability: As we think more about sustainability, linear bricks contribute to these credentials. Made from all natural materials, these long-lasting products add to a buildings thermal mass and are recyclable at the end of their lifespan. Many quarries are also located close to manufacturing factories, minimising the transport required to produce them.
