Angle & Cant Bricks
Angle brick specials allow brickwork to turn through 30, 45 and 60 degree angles. The cant range allows splay detailing to be achieved within brickwork to window surrounds, corner details and other locations.
Bullnose Bricks
Featuring a smooth rounded edge on either one or two sides of a brick, bullnose bricks have long been used to soften the aesthetics on walls, around openings or to the corner detailing of buildings.
Plinth Bricks
Plinth specials are often used to create a splay detail at the base of a building. They are also increasingly being used for corbel detailing and window surround details in association with angle and cant specials.
Pistol Bricks
Pistol bricks are used vertical and designed to hide the metal angles of a multi-storey structural frame. Rather than leaving the metal exposed, Pistol bricks create a seamless transition between brick and support.
Soldier Bricks
Soldier bricks are laid vertically and are mainly used for aesthetic purposes. They can complement or contrast detailing on brick surfaces by breaking up portions of the original brickwork or highlighting specific areas.
Large Format Copings
This product range emulates the Victorian preference for large section brickwork, which was used to cap walls and pillars and used on major civil engineering projects such as canals and railways.
