Austral Bricks continues to build its reputation for delivering top quality

With a history that extends beyond

100 years, Austral Bricks has a proud

tradition of 100% Australian ownership.

Our manufacturing plants combine state-

of-the-art technology with the company’s

long experience in the manufacture of

bricks and pavers to exacting Australian

standards, resulting in a world-class,

high-quality product.

Each batch of bricks and pavers

are graded at various stages of the

manufacturing process and laboratory

tested to make sure our products

meet strict Australian standards.

Recognised as one of Australia’s leading

manufacturers of quality clay building

products, Austral Bricks resources extend

beyond factories and clay reserves,

to its team of dedicated employees.

A national research and development

program co-ordinates all new product

development activities to ensure

that Austral Bricks continues to build

its reputation for delivering top quality,

innovative products that address

the needs of the building and

construction industry.

has grown to be one of the leading,

quality clay product manufacturers

in the world and a truly great Australian

success story.

The Austral Bricks story


Build a home you can live in happily ever after, with Austral Bricks

Save up to

25%off your energy bills with brick every year 1*

From the minute you choose to build a brick home, your decision will start paying dividends – lower maintenance costs, lower energy charges, lower fire risk, reduced termite treatment and better environmental outcomes for the whole family.

Did you know

39%of your energy bills goes into heating and cooling your home 2

All of this and the guarantee that

your investment will continue to save

money and appreciate in value for the

generations to come; your children’s

children will reap the benefits of

building with brick.

It ’s a choice that will last several lifetimes

and beyond. Look around the world’s

oldest cities; brick buildings have

withstood the ravages of the ages.

Look around today’s newest suburbs

and you’ll find the most modern, stylish

and practical homes are built of brick.

Building your home with brick ensures

it remains weatherproof, durable and

attractive for years to come. It ’s cost-

effective because brickwork doesn’t need

painting, rendering or any other coating

to preserve its good looks and durability.

Unlike other materials, bricks keep your

home stylish without all the hard work.

Better still the natural texture of brick

actually hides dirt, unlike paint finishes

which highlight grime.

comfortable home, pick up a copy of our

The benefits of clay bricks keep stacking up

Clay brick is secure, an investment for life

As one of the world’s most sought after

and trustworthy sources of sustainable

building materials, clay bricks are

renown for their strength and secure

investment potential. The quality

construction, quiet calm and ageless

appeal of a solid clay brick home will

protect your family for generations

to come.

Clay brick is energy efficient

For energy efficient warmth in winter

and cool in summer, clay brick combines

perfectly with passive building design

to harness natural sources of energy.

The natural density and thermal insulating

qualities of clay moderate building

temperature and reduce energy

consumption rates, to provide year

round comfort and savings.

Clay brick is low maintenance

The most endearing quality of a clay

brick home is its ability to withstand the

test of time, even under the harshest

environmental conditions. Clay bricks

don’t need paint or other treatments to

maintain aesthetics and durability.

They are strong, reliable and relatively

maintenance free, saving you on the cost

and time required to upkeep your home,

compared to lighter weight materials.

Style and design

Clay bricks add distinct style to any type

of home. Their natural colours and

textures enable you to create striking

façade contrasts or more traditional

neutral colour tones.

By investing in new technology

Austral Bricks have been able to introduce

new kiln firing techniques to produce clay

bricks with a variety of surface finishes,

exciting colours and different sizes.

The result is a wonderful range of

clay bricks for you to build a stylish,

contemporary home.

Clay brick is sustainable

Made from organic minerals found in

shale and local, naturally abundant

sources of clay; clay brick’s long-lasting

life cycle offers ongoing environmental

and health benefits. Durable, re-usable,

free from contaminants and naturally

resistant to pests or fire, clay brick is safe

to live in, making it the ultimate material

in responsible and economical home

building design.

Clay bricks are fully reusable

They are one of the very few materials

that can be reused (not just recycled)

with all their original qualities intact.

And if they are consigned to landfill,

clay bricks are chemically inert and can’t

pollute groundwater or contaminate soil.

Clay brick manufacturing is highly efficient

Austral Bricks’ super-plants use the latest

high-tech automated controls and a

high-efficiency kiln to achieve energy

savings of 30 percent over previous

technology. Our plants are also water

self-sufficient, have low emissions and

operate on zero waste.

Clay bricks out perform concrete bricks

Clay bricks are both stronger and have

a lower rate of absorption, making them

easier to work with. Unlike concrete bricks,

clay bricks are also colourfast and will

hold their aesthetic beauty for the life of

the product.

When planning to build a sustainable home and a comfortable life, you have a lot to consider. With their complete range of cost, comfort and style benefits, clay bricks are the one and only choice.

The Designa Basalt range is a collection of

natural stone bricks. These bricks are cut

from Basalt and finished in three different

Stone and Shadow Stone ranges are coated

with a thin plastic film.

Designa Basalt will complement any home

It is our proud claim that we made “the

bricks that built Melbourne,” none more so

than the bricks that are still doing sterling

duty in our prestigious middle suburbs.

Their gentle colour variation, patches of

blue, and clean, crisp edges are typical of

Melbourne’s early 20th Century bricks.

Melbourne was originally devised for

renovations and extensions to heritage

homes, but have now also become very

popular for use in elegant, modern designs.

The Melbourne 50mm are a welcome

extension to one of our most successful

premium products. The slim profile, two-

thirds the height of a standard brick, adds

definition and visual interest. Ideal on

their own or as a highlight component in

a composite design, their ‘finely knitted’

appearance can be enhanced with

light-coloured mortar.

Blending

Our bricks are partially blended during

packing but this is not sufficient to

guarantee a well blended wall.

Blending on site is important whether

the bricks are single or multi-coloured.

Your bricklayer is a professional tradesman

and is responsible for ensuring an even

colour distribution in accordance

with the blending instructions attached

to all our brick packs.

Cleaning

Cleaning brickwork is a skilled process

that requires care and is the responsibility

of your builder. Your new brickwork

should be cleaned after each section

is laid as fresh spattered mortar is much

easier to remove.

Blending and cleaning

Bricks & mortar explainedExtruded bricks

Extruded bricks are the versatile staples

of our brick range. They are widely used

in building applications from everyday

housing to large, architect-designed

commercial projects. Their manufacturing

process makes possible a vast range of

surface finishes, from smooth to sandy,

highly textured to glazed. The colours

of extruded bricks are equally diverse,

covering the spectrum from pale off-white

and grey through traditional red to deep

tan and burgundy.

Pressed bricks

Pressed bricks are our premium products,

still made on original presses dating back

almost a century. This moulding process

gives each brick an individual character

that is highly valued by architects, builders

and home-owners. Their heritage makes

our pressed bricks the only choice for

period-style buildings but they are equally

“at home” in contemporary architecture.

Shapes

Shaped bricks take brickwork out of the

square. Their sculpted designs help create

distinctive and authentic architectural

features such as formed window sills,

moulding courses, bullnose cappings

and much more.

Mortar colour

The most common mortar colour

is mid-grey, often called “natural”.

However off-white mortar is becoming

more popular. Off-white mortar is made

by mixing light colour cement and white

sand. Mortar can be coloured, usually

by adding powdered or liquid pigments

to the mortar as it is being mixed by

the bricklayer. Mortar can also be tinted

to match the brick colour, giving a very

even wall colour.

Mortar finishes

There are four common mortar finishes.

The key to understanding mortar finishes

is sunlight. A raked finish will cause a

deep shadow to form in the mortar joint.

This brings out the horizontal lines of the

brickwork (and the vertical lines to a

lesser extent). Ironed and rolled joints also

create shadowlines, but much finer and

more subtle. A flush joint doesn’t allow

shadowlines to form, giving the wall a

more unified look. Using a mortar colour to

match the brick will take this a step further.

1 Estimate accurately

We will help estimate your

requirements to the next 1/4 pack

to avoid under-ordering.

2 Not so fast!

Have your product delivered to site

at least one working day before work

starts. Starting work on the delivery day

may lead to lost time due to waiting.

3 Take as many bricks as you can with each delivery

Ordering a full load ensures priority,

express delivery and allows bricklayers

and paver layers to blend from multiple

open packs.

4 Our trucks are big!

We need to know if there are any

obstacles such as a dead-end or one-

way streets, height restrictions, weight

restrictions, clearways, main roads,

proximity to schools or hospitals, etc.

5 Is the house or lot number prominent?

Place a ‘job sign’ on your front

terrace or boundary to eliminate

any confusion.

6 Site access

If the site is locked, tell us the

access times. If you require us to

enter through neighbouring land,

it is your responsibility to get prior

written permission. Provide contact

number of someone on-site.

7 Where do you want them?

Tell our sales staff where your delivery is

to be placed. We need to know before

delivery if packs are to be placed

around the site please place signs to

indicate your requirements. Our tractors

need at least 2.5 metres clear width

and 2.6 metres height clearance. Less

than 8 packs will be delivered by crane

placing on verge.

8 Bricks are heavy!

A tractor with a brick pack weighs

about five tonnes. It ’s your responsibility

to ensure the ground and any path

or driveway traversed or crossed can

sustain this weight. Stormwater pipes

are particularly vulnerable to damage.

9 Safety first... and last

Ensure children are well out of the way

and restrain your dog during delivery.

We will do our best to place packs to

your requirements but the driver has the

final say when it comes to safety and

possible site damage.

10 Talk to an Austral Bricks sales consultant about your delivery needs.

10 tips for a smooth delivery

Delivering your bricks, blocks and pavers is the exciting first step in the construction process.

We take pride in efficient and effective delivery as well as working with your builder. Here are a few simple guidelines to help us place your product where you want it, when you want it!

Choose Austral Bricks

Our clay bricks are made from naturally occurring minerals that are kiln fired to lock in their colour and strength for life. The composition of the raw materials as well as the firing process may cause each run to differ. The resulting colour variation is inherent in the process and part of the appeal of our natural products.

Hand boards

Sample boxes

To make your selection process as easy as

possible, we recommend that you view examples

from at least three of the following sources before

finalising your choice.

Brochures and website

Our brochures and website are an excellent way

to narrow your choice from the wide range of

bricks available. Please note however, that the

product images in our brochures only give a

general indication of colour for your preliminary

selection.

Hand boards

Hand boards show three brick faces – light,

average and dark – but the final blend will not be

in equal proportions of these shades. Hand boards

help you to compare products and focus your

short list.

Sample boxes

Our sample boxes contain two or three examples

of the current brick blend. Again, the final blend

will not be in equal proportions. Use these samples

to assist in coordinating colour schemes.

Display walls

Display walls show typical examples of the brick

blend, including the base colour and the proportion

of light, dark and average colours. Be aware that the

mortar colour and finish will affect your perception of

the overall wall colour.

Display homes

Display homes give an excellent understanding

of a full-scale, well-blended brick wall to help you

understand the characteristics and proportions of a

specific blend.

Recently constructed houses

Recently constructed houses give another example

of the range of colours in a particular blend. While

these must be viewed from the street, they do show

how a particular brick looks in the field. Ask for a list

of houses in your area.

For more information about choosing bricks just talk

to any of our Design Centre staff.

commercial and upscale residential

buildings. The Terraçade™ system,

developed in Australia by Brickworks

appeal and colourfastness of terracotta

with the low maintenance and functional

efficiency demanded in today’s
