BRICK TYPES We have several different brick types available, with each offering their own features and characteristics: • HANDMADE BRICKS Made using time-honoured methods dating back to the 15th century, our handmade bricks are thrown by hand into moulds.

Most handmade bricks also have an indent or ‘frog’ in the top of the brick. WIRECUT BRICKS Also known as extruded bricks, the process involves the extrusion of a clay column through a die, with...
