How we choose
We do not make bricks. We select them for the projects we see built here, and we document each one before it goes on this site.
- 01
A brick is chosen on a wall, not in the hand.
We look at a brick laid up in a neutral mortar, from ten metres and from one. We are choosing a colour range, a face and an edge, not a single unit.
- 02
What we select for.
A colour that holds from batch to batch. A face and an edge that survive handling without losing character. Formats that set out cleanly with a 10 mm joint.
- 03
What we state.
Every product page gives its working size and bricks per square metre, and its availability from Melbourne as it is confirmed. Dimensions are nominal averages and we say so.
- 04
What we test.
Durability is tested to AS/NZS 4456 methods by an accredited laboratory. Until a result is issued, the page says testing in progress. We publish no grade we cannot show a report for.
- 05
What we show.
Product images are prepared from photographs of the brick and presented in a studio setting. They are a guide to colour and texture, not a match. Screens differ too, so we set aside samples free of charge at the Richmond showroom, and post them to practices outside Melbourne with a project.
