Our brick performs well when left exposed.
Exposed bricks properties like compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence, and warpage are carefully monitored to deliver the best qualities that make our brick capable of performing better when left exposed.
Required Less Maintenance
Brick and related products never fade, peel or rot. Therefore, you will never need to paint and will hardly ever have to clean. Compare a brick home with others, and soon you’ll realise how much money, effort, and time brick homeowners save.

What is face vs common brick?
- Face bricks are specifically designed to be visible on the exterior surface of a building due to their attractive appearance. They have a finished surface on one or both sides and are used for aesthetic purposes. On the other hand, common bricks are more basic and are typically used for structural purposes, often hidden under plaster or other materials.
How are face bricks made?
- Face bricks are made by mixing clay with water, shaping it into bricks, drying them, and then firing them in a kiln (thermally insulated chamber) to make them strong. After cooling, the bricks undergo a quality check before being used in construction.
Why is it called face brick?
- Face bricks are called so because they are meant to be the visible face of a wall. They are used for the exterior surfaces of buildings to provide an attractive and finished appearance. The term “face” refers to the side of the brick that is exposed when the wall is constructed.
Are face bricks waterproof?
- Face bricks are not naturally waterproof; they are absorbent and soak some water. However, they offer good resistance to water penetration when properly installed with an appropriate water-repellent mortar and a weather-resistant backing material. Additional measures like sealing the joints with a suitable sealant can be taken to enhance water resistance.
