Cream Bricks

The soft, warm palette of cream bricks is as pleasant as the name sounds. It is a mainstay in minimalist designs that aim to create an airy, roomy feel in interiors, or a soft, inviting texture to the exterior.

At Brick Wholesale, we stock a wide selection of cream and buff-cream facing bricks from trusted makers. They come in standard pack sizes and finishes, suitable for smaller commercial projects and domestic construction.

Key Features of Cream Bricks

Our cream bricks are made from natural clay and supplied in the standard UK brick size (215 × 102.5 × 65 mm). Finishes range from smooth wirecut to textured or waterstruck options, giving you flexibility in designing your facade.

Many cream bricks stocked for UK building work meet common durability standards, such as frost resistance ratings for external walls, and comply with BS EN standards for facing bricks.

For precise sourcing, check individual product data sheets for exact compressive strength and water absorption figures, as they vary by brick type and manufacturer.

Benefits of Cream Bricks

Bright Aesthetic

Cream bricks reflect light and make buildings appear cleaner and larger. They are a popular choice in contemporary builds that want to achieve a fresh, airy appearance.

Versatility

Cream bricks visually contrast well with timber, slate, dark mortar, and metallic accents. This makes them suitable for both period renovations and minimalist designs.

Durable

Like all kiln-fired bricks, our clay cream bricks are engineered to withstand the elements. When properly installed, they maintain their appearance for decades with minimal upkeep.

Thermal Mass

Energy-efficient homes benefit from the cream brick’s thermal mass, which works in tandem with your home’s general design to help keep the interior conditions comfortable in the UK climate.

Sustainable Credits

Clay bricks are made from natural materials that fit well into the circular economy as they can be recycled at the end of a building’s life. You can find additional sustainability in product literature or datasheets for even more precise sourcing.

What Are Cream Bricks Used For?

Cream bricks are ideal for residential facades and interiors where lighter tones are desired. They are commonly used for:

• External walls
• Chimney stacks
• Interior features walls (fireplaces, nooks, doorways)
• Low fence-style garden or boundary walls.

Cream brick slips can also be used for cladding, offering the same look without the build depth.

They are not recommended for high traffic paving or driveways, unless the product is specifically rated for ground contact or heavy loads.

How do I clean cream bricks in the city?

Cities are known for their grime, which comes from dirt and pollutants. Over time, due to the porous nature of a brick, grime settles in and has to be cleaned off to restore the brick’s colour. This can be done with chemical washes conducted by experts to preserve the brick’s look and integrity.
