The clay brick industry may be steeped in history but brick manufacturers refuse to stand still. Continual investment in research and development has led to new products and techniques that respond to market demands.

Clay brick remains the material of choice but combined with other innovative systems, this can lead to increased efficiency, fast-track builds and better quality buildings. Clay brick slips, thin bricks and mathmetical tiles are an excellent example of how the industry can combine the aesthetics and appealing finish of traditional clay brick with on-site efficiency and a wide variety of sustainability benefits.
