TIP, TRICKS & INFO

Purpose Made Bricks

Often a project calls for a "purpose made" brick to create a special feature or to otherwise enhance the building design.

If you have a special brick project in mind and you are not sure how to accomplish it, it is handy to know that there are several bricks available, eg., a Squint brick for bay windows or a Bullnose brick for the top of a brick wall.

Below is a list of several specialty bricks that are available. Not all brick manufacturers stock all of these as part of their standard range, so you may have to special order the style that you require.
