Creating Brick Specials for Custom Requirements
Brick Specials, Reface Brick Specials and Prefabricated Brick Arches are giving architects and contractors greater flexibility to create distinctive building details without being restricted by standard brick shapes and sizes.
Through precision cutting and bonding, bricks can be adapted to suit individual project requirements — from corners, returns and reveals to arches, soffits and more complex façade features.
Brick Specials Made to Specification
Every building has its own details, and sometimes those details call for something outside the standard product range.
Brick Specials can be cut and bonded into project-specific shapes and configurations, allowing brickwork to follow the architectural design more closely.
Corners, angles, returns, reveals and other challenging areas can be manufactured off site to the required dimensions, reducing the need for complicated cutting and fabrication during installation.
For projects featuring repeated details, prefabrication can also help achieve a more consistent finish across the building.
Refaced Brick Specials
Choosing the right facing brick is often a major part of a building’s design. But what happens when that brick isn’t available in the special shape the project requires?
That’s where Reface Brick Specials can help.
Slips cut from the selected facing brick can be bonded to specially prepared units to create bespoke shapes while maintaining the appearance of the surrounding brickwork.
Prefabricated Brick Arches
Few brick details are as instantly recognisable as an arch.
Whether used above windows and doorways or as a larger architectural feature, Prefabricated Brick Arches combine the character of traditional brickwork with the advantages of off-site manufacture.
Produced to suit the dimensions and brick specification of the project, the arch can arrive on site prepared for installation. This reduces the amount of specialist fabrication required on site while helping to create a precise and consistent finished feature.
More Freedom in Brick Design
The possibilities extend beyond individual specials and arches.
Cutting and bonding can be used to manufacture brick slips, corners, returns, reveals, soffit details and bespoke façade components, giving designers more freedom to explore different shapes and architectural features.
Rather than changing a design simply because a standard brick isn’t available in the required format, bespoke fabrication offers another option: make the brick fit the design.
For architects, contractors and developers working on projects with unusual or highly detailed brickwork, these made to fit solutions can turn challenging details into practical, buildable components.
Rather than forcing the architecture around a standard product, bespoke fabrication allows the brickwork to follow the design.
