WHY CHOOSE BRICKS FOR YOUR HOME
Your brick choice is what will set the tone of your home and will bring together the rest of your choices to complement this style. Your bricks are what will give your home its first impression, from people you have over, to people driving by.
There’s also many other important reasons why to choose bricks for your home.
Energy Efficient
Bricks can help insulate your home and save on those energy bills. Your heating and cooling accounts for around 40% of the average home’s energy use.
Our bricks have a high thermal mass resulting in a cooler house in summer and a warmer house in winter which reduces household energy costs.
Concrete bricks are an effective choice when choosing your building materials. If you’re wanting to spend less on energy bills, bricks help to regulate the temperature of your home. Energy efficiency and thermal comfort are important elements to consider as part of your design process.
Fire Resistance
Clay bricks are made to withstand high temperatures of heat and fire. They can endure temperatures exceeding 1000ºC during the manufacturing process. Bricks are therefore less impervious to fire damage and they won’t lose any structural integrity, which means they can be reused, even in load-bearing walls.
Bricks are non-combustible, unlike other options. They don’t make your home fireproof but they won’t cause or spread fire, making them ideal for building in bushfire-prone areas.
Sustainable Bricks

The colour palette of bricks has increased along with the finish and sizes – from smooth finishes, exposed aggregate, refined and highly polished surfaces. You can also choose standard sizes, split, double height, linear and super linear.
Our range of eco house bricks are made from high quality engineered sand, consisting of processed coloured recycled glass. Our premium bricks also come with a Green Tag certification. But that’s not all, sustainable bricks are stylish and come in a range of on trend colours and finishes. This means you can feel good about your sustainable brick choice but also have the home style you’re wanting.
Bricks can also be recycled once you’re done with them. Bricks are often reused in new projects to decrease landfill and excess waste that would typically be seen from such large scale projects built using other materials.
Durable
Bricks have stood the rest of time around the world as a reliable and durable building material and withstands all Australian weather conditions. They are termite resistant, strong and the best choice for your home.
Our brick range are exposure grade, salt attack resistant, strong and noise resistant. Their fire resistance is perfect for Australia’s harsh environment.
Low Maintenance
Using bricks reduces the long term maintenance needed to keep your home looking new, clean and damage-free.

Bricks don’t show dirt like other materials do and never need painting or varnishing to protect them against the harsh Australian elements as they are weatherproof.
sound insulation
As bricks are made with strong and dense material, this makes them great for reducing noise such as planes, trains, sirens, traffic and neighbourhood noises. Using bricks for your internal walls also helps reduce noise from room to room within your home.
Other materials are often made from lighter and thinner materials and don’t have the same noise insulation properties.\
