Special Shaped Brick

Cant bricks, also known as angled bricks, are manufactured for use in brickwork that requires to turn through angles other than 90 degrees. We are able to supply purpose made or cut and bond cant bricks that will provide clean, crisp lines when your project brickwork needs to change direction at 30, 45 or 65 degree angles.

Using various length dimensions, these angled bricks can be easily installed to maintain all bond patterns.

To create an archway or other curved features in your brickwork, arch bricks are double tapered in length or width so that they can be placed together without having to use a tapered joint.

Frequently used over openings such as windows and doorways, arch bricks can also be employed to create a decorative bullseye window where arch bricks encase the full window circumference.

Bonding specials are cuboid bricks used to complete brick bonding patterns without the need for cutting on site. Often used to fill gaps that would require the cutting of a standard brick, bonding bricks benefit bricklayers when filling a specific measurement or when a standard brick proves difficult to cut.

We are able to supply these key brickwork pieces in a range of lengths, to complete your project facade.

Bullnose bricks have at least one rounded corner or face and are used to provide a soft transition to corners, doors or window openings. These attractive bricks can be utilised to achieve a welcoming atmosphere on any project.

Additionally, the curved element on a bullnose brick is ideal for capping off cills, steps or walls, protecting the brickwork below from weathering.

Whether they’re laid vertically or horizontally, pistol bricks are designed to hide the metal angles of a multi-storey structural frame. Rather than leaving the metal or concrete exposed, pistol bricks create a seamless transition between brick and support.

Using a rebate cut, which creates the ‘pistol’ shape, these bricks not only cover the method of support but also the brickwork’s mortar bed. The depth of the rebate cut will be determined by the supporting construction and on how the brick is laid.

Plinth bricks can typically be found at the base of buildings when you need to produce single or double course splay details. This permits a change in depth to brickwork, suitable for window cills, kerbs, capping and corbelling features.

We are able to supply plinth header bricks, plinth stretcher bricks, plinth internal angle bricks, plinth external return bricks, plinth internal return bricks and plinth squint bricks.

Radial bricks are used to construct curved brick structures without the requirement for tapered joints. Commonly used to create chimneys, circular or wavy brick walls, radial bricks will achieve a more seamless result than standard bricks when working to a smaller radius.

We are able to supply varying stretcher and header options depending on the desired aesthetic and brickwork bonding pattern.
