Brick Types And Applications
Engineering And Common Bricks
Engineering and common bricks form the backbone of most masonry projects. Engineering bricks are designed for strength and durability, offering high compressive strength and low water absorption. These properties make them suitable for structural applications such as foundations, damp-proof courses, and areas exposed to moisture or heavy loading. Common bricks, by contrast, are widely used for general building work where structural demands are lower. They are often selected for internal walls, cavity backin,g and areas that will be rendered or otherwise finished. Within this category, you can explore our full range of engineering and common bricks, which are suited to both structural integrity and efficient blocklaying on site.
Air Bricks, Cavity Liners, And Floor Vents
Ventilation is a critical consideration in modern construction, particularly at ground level. Air bricks, cavity liners, and floor vents are designed to promote airflow beneath suspended floors and within wall cavities, helping to manage moisture and reduce the risk of damp. These components are commonly specified in domestic and commercial builds to meet building regulations and long-term durability requirements. Our range of air bricks, cavity liners and floor vents supports effective ventilation detailing while integrating seamlessly with surrounding brickwork.
