Brick

To build with real clay bricks is to use one of the most beautiful and enduring materials known to mankind.  Clay brick can be dated back to ancient Egyptian times.  In colour, texture, strength and permanence, brick has no equal.  It is a rich, durable material that is extremely flexible in terms of the shapes and patterns that may be assembled as is the case with stone. The long-term integrity of it is dependent upon the skilled and knowledgeable application of the proper mortar to its joints.

Affordable

The cost of real clay bricks is low to start with, but when you take into account their immense durability and the fact that they are maintenance free, they cost even less over time than any other building material.

In addition other cost advantages include excellent fire, noise and thermal resistance as well as ease of construction and plaster adhesion. All the intrinsic advantages of clay bricks are retained even when they are plastered.

Because clay bricks don't deteriorate, and never go out of fashion, clay brick houses are always in demand and achieve higher resale values.
