Important Information
Face Bricks
Standard face bricks have one finished face only.
Colour Variation
Clay bricks are made from natural materials, so colour variation is expected within and between batches. Sample bricks and website images are indicative only.
Solid vs Cored Bricks
Colour may differ between solid and cored bricks of the same name.
Matching Existing Bricks?
If you're matching to existing bricks, contact our Sales Team for the best available match. Natural variation between batches is normal.
Product Inspection
Inspect all bricks, blocks, and pavers upon delivery. Report any concerns to Customer Service before laying.
Chipping & Breakage
Minor chips or breakage (up to 5%) may occur during handling. Use these for cuts and infills.
Sizing
Sizes and coverage per m² are nominal and may vary due to manufacturing and installation methods. Consult your Sales Advisor when mixing colours or patterns.
Colour Blending
For consistent colour blending, mix bricks from multiple packs during installation.
Cutting Guidelines
Wet bricks before cutting to prevent surface staining. Wash off slurry immediately and avoid contact with laid bricks.
Score Marks
Textured bricks may show minor score or drag marks from manufacturing. These are normal and do not affect appearance.
Two-Storey Projects
We offer on-site stacking and lifting for two-storey builds. Deliver all bricks at once to maintain colour consistency. Charges apply—contact Customer Service on 13 15 40.
Coastal Areas
Use sealed joints and exposure-grade bricks with a proper damp proof course for coastal protection.
Damp Proof Course (DPC)
A correctly installed DPC above ground level is essential to protect bricks from moisture and salt damage, preserving their colour and integrity.
