Bricks
Bricks are an integral part of most building projects; they are installed with mortar to create the brickwork for a building or wall. Typically, they are manufactured from sand, clay, lime, iron oxide, and magnesia, and then fired in a kiln.
Types of bricks
Here at Howarth, we carry approx. three-quarters of a million bricks at any one time, including:
Facing Bricks
Facing Bricks are manufactured to have an attractive appearance, designed to be seen, and therefore are a popular choice for external walls of commercial and domestic properties.
Engineered Bricks
Engineered Bricks are stronger and less porous than Facing Bricks, making them an excellent choice where strength is more important than appearance. These bricks are ideal for retaining walls.
Common Bricks
Common Bricks are bricks designed to be functional and hardy, capable of withstanding harsh conditions including freezing temperatures. These are often red bricks as the colour is not controlled, allowing the red pigment to pull through from the iron content in the clay. Common bricks are suitable for above and below ground installation.
Our range of bricks are available in a wide variety of colours, textures, and brick dimensions. We also offer an excellent brick matching service to ensure that you get the bricks that you are looking for and compliment any bricks already installed.
Why use a brick matching service?
Brick choice is very important as although it may not be the first thing people look for, they are a big part of the overall first impression when looking at the exterior of a building. Our brick matching service may be particularly useful in the following scenarios:
Extension work: When constructing an extension to an already in place building, it is important for the new bricks to match the existing bricks for an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Renovation work: There are times when you may need to replace bricks, for example when repairing a wall. Similarly to building an extension, it is important for the new bricks to blend with the bricks around them for an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Local architecture: Some areas of the UK require new buildings to compliment buildings already in place, a large part of this is often the bricks use to construct a building.
