What do I need to know when buying clay brick
When ordering or specifying clay bricks, ensure the following points are discussed and made known to the suppliers:
  • the required application e.g. type of building, finish etc.
  • the degree of exposure to weather conditions, closeness to the seas etc.
  • track record of the preferred brick in the area where you are building
  • an undertaking or warranty from the brick supplier that the bricks delivered will be fit for purpose
  • colour expectations in the case of face bricks
  • the acceptable levels of breakage during delivery to site
To avoid colour banding it is highly recommended that face bricks are taken from a number of different packs and carefully blended during building operations
