UK Bricks

UK Brick built a reputation as a supplier of waterstruck facing bricks, offering one of the UK’s most extensive ranges of colours, sizes, textures, and formats. Their products are soft-moulded/handmade, with a strong visual presence. They are widely used by architects and designers who want an authentic character in new construction or renovations.

What are Waterstruck Bricks?

These are facing bricks made from soft mud or moist clay through a process where the wet clay is placed into moulds that have been moisturised. The extra clay is struck off at the top before drying and firing. The additional moisture in the moulds gives the brick a soft, slightly textured appearance and subtle shape differences.

The finish feels handmade and complements modern and traditional builds. The bricks are rated for frost resistance and withstand the UK’s temperate weather. The texture is less uniform than wirecut bricks but cleaner and smoother than classic sand-moulded bricks, which makes them stand out in facades.

What UK Brick Offers

UK Brick offers waterstruck bricks in a broad palette of colours, including red, black, brown, grey, buff, cream/white, yellow, and multi-tones. Textures vary from softer, more rustic editions to fusion versions.

The versions offered come in standard UK size (215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm), European format (DNF)(slimmer, longer profile), and elongated/long-format bricks for design and striking coursing effects.
