Clay brick is built to last. It’s why we are lucky enough to see buildings that were built from the humble brick, hundreds of years ago. An extremely durable building material, fired clay brick requires minimal maintenance, weathers well and will last almost indefinitely. The composition of clay brick plays a critical role in its durability and longevity, and is testament to its inherent sustainability. When a building is demolished, the clay bricks can be refurbished, reused and recycled.
