Facing Bricks

What are Facing Bricks?

Facing bricks are the most popular type of brick and have been the façade material of choice in the UK for thousands of years, particularly in the housing market.

They are primarily used for the external walls of a building and so are generally chosen for their aesthetic qualities but they also must be weather resistant.

These bricks may lack the tensile strength of engineering bricks, which are used for structural brickwork, but are suitable for some structural applications

These bricks are designed to have a neat, even appearance.

Where are Facing Bricks Used?

Facing bricks are the materials used in making of the facades, i.e. the principal front of the building. Facing bricks are manufactured with the purpose of being visible and thus offered in aesthetic and pleasing designs in the market.

There are two types of facing bricks: Wire cut (or extruded) bricks are made in a long rectangular column, and cut into multiple bricks of the same size.
