There are several types of bricks made in different ways, each with differing characteristics

Stock (also known as soft mud) Created using an automated process where the clay is placed into moulds by a machine. Stock bricks tend to have softer, more varied edges. Like handmade bricks, stock bricks also often have a frog.

Wirecut (also known as extruded) Produced by extruding a column of clay through a brick shaped die and then cutting the column into individual bricks using a wire. Wirecut bricks tend to have very precise edges and have perforations through the bricks. The perforation pattern can be in many different forms depending on where the bricks are manufactured. They can also be produced as solid bricks.

Waterstruck Made using a similar process to stock bricks but the bricks are released from the moulds using water. This process, along with a wetter clay mix, gives waterstruck bricks a distinctive texture. They are often solid bricks although some waterstruck bricks do have frogs.

Engineering bricks Made using the same process as wirecut bricks. Engineering bricks are selected for their enhanced technical performance rather than their appearance. Engineering bricks have high compressive strength and low water absorption properties. They can be either perforated or solid and tend to be either smooth red or smooth blue.

Another key consideration for determining the overall appearance of your building is the colour of mortar you use. Mortar actually accounts for 15 - 17% of the visible brickwork (dependant on bond pattern) and the colour chosen can change the look of your wall considerably.

All our facing bricks are manufactured in accordance with the European Standard for clay masonry units BS EN 771-1.
