THE ETERNAL CHOICE
Clay brick originates from the age-old process of uniting earth, air, fire and water to create a building
material that is matchless in strength, durability, versatility and beauty. First produced in the Bronze
Age, their appeal has never waned.
UNMATCHED DURABILITY
For centuries, clay bricks have endured the forces of weathering and time. Today, durability is enhanced
through modern brickmaking techniques. Since the arrival of van Riebeeck in the Cape in 1652, clay bricks
have been used in an overwhelming majority of buildings, firmly establishing the clay brick tradition in
Southern Africa.
AGELESS BEAUTY
The clay brick is a timeless classic available in a wide range of shapes, colours and textures, providing
endless creative opportunities for architectural designs. Its strength and durability ensures an ageless
beauty.
CLAY BRICK POROSITY
The capillary pore system found in clay bricks allows for moisture to be absorbed and then released back into
the atmosphere. A clay brick wall that has become damp will therefore dry out as quickly as it becomes moist.
