Give yourself a head start and create a lasting
impression by choosing Boral Bricks.
Choose from the
following five
brick styles
creates strong and beautiful homes that breathe. Each brick is
formed from select clays and kiln-fired to lock in superior
thermal qualities and strength. Added to that, they’re termite and

fire resistant. All to ensure the protection, comfort, and health of
your family.
FashiOneD With stYle
Our expertise is our passion. We’ve channeled this energy into
creating refreshing new colours, textures and sizes that sit along
side the classics. In Queensland these are grouped into five
distinct brick styles to help make selection easy. Within each
range, there are size and textural varieties that, in combination
with different patterns and mortars, provide a myriad of options
to excite and inspire.
Built FOr tOmOrrOW
New generation shades and textures make for endless design
flexibility. Boral bricks are resistant to the extremes of the
Australian climate with many specified as exposure grade
for coastal, saline soils and harsh environments. With no other
material showing so few signs of ageing, Boral bricks will
maintain their natural beauty wherever you choose to build.

Bricks are tough. They won’t twist or warp, rot or decay, erode
or dent. They are resistant to the extremes of the Australian
climate and can be specified as exposure grade for coastal
environments and areas classified as having harsh soils.
The density of brick makes for a quiet home, with dramatically
reduced external sound such as aircraft and road noise.

Made from natural clay and shale, no two bricks are identical.
This gives each home its own distinct personality, to reflect
yours. Their natural make-up also means that bricks have no toxic
emissions, ensuring a healthier home.
enDurinG COlOur
Boral bricks are kiln-fired at temperatures of up to 1130°C,
resulting in colour that is locked in for the life of the brick. With
no superficial surface coat applied, there is no risk of blistering or
peeling that comes with other materials.
temPerature COntrOl
Brick homes even out temperature fluctuations better than
lighter weight materials because of their mass. Homes made
from brick are slow to warm up in summer and slow to
lose heat in winter, so it’s good news for reducing heating and
cooling costs.
DesiGn FleXiBilitY
Today’s new generation bricks mean the variety is now vast, and
so are the uses. unlike pre-fabricated panels, their compact size,
colours, textures and shapes provide infinite design options.
resale Value
Reliable performance over the long term makes brick a solid
return on investment. When it’s time to sell, brick rates well
because it is trusted over newer cladding materials that
haven’t stood the test of time.
lOW maintenanCe
Regain your weekends and avoid ongoing costs because bricks
have negligible routine maintenance. This is an important factor to
consider when looking at the “whole-of-life” cost of your home.
lOnG lastinG
Made to the highest international standards from kilns across
Australia, Boral bricks are made to last. For hundreds of years, no
other material shows so few signs of ageing.

The energy life cycle
TIP Brick is a good natural insulator but
double brick is the best.
Energy efficient design
There are four factors crucial to the
energy performance of your home:
B r i ck S i z e s
Different brick sizes are available and
can be used for the whole house,
patterns, window sills, internal features,
facades, formal areas, fireplaces and
other architectural details.
S TA N DA R D H E I G H T
Orientation
Never before have new homes been built so responsively to our
landscape, climate and lifestyles.

The introduction of minimum standards and
energy reduction targets for new houses across
most Australian states is aiding this change. And
the good news is that armed with the right advice
and information, it doesn't have to be difficult.
An energy-wise home will use the best
combination of sustainable building considerations
such as site orientation, wall and ceiling insulation,
ventilation and materials to reduce energy
consumption and in turn greenhouse gas
emissions.
It's all about taking a long-term view on our impact
on the environment. From the initial sourcing and
manufacture of materials to the need for ongoing
maintenance and temperature control, it's the
efficient use of energy over the lifespan of a
building that counts.
That's why as the 'whole-of-life' benefits of brick
are uncovered, architects, designers and builders
in the know are recognising its green credentials.
Once bricks are made, the embodied energy
consumption ends there, because there is no
need to add a coating to maintain its finish.
Bricks made from clay and shale allow homes to
breathe - unlike man-made products such as
metal and fibre cement cladding. Similarly paints
can release volatile organic compounds like
formaldehyde, providing another reason not to
coat bricks.
Along with good design principles, bricks can
help you take advantage of the weather when it's
hot, and give you the best protection when it's not. When around 38 per
cent of end energy use in Australian homes is directed toward artificial
heating and cooling1, this is serious long-term value.
✔
✔
Clay bricks are virtually age-proof and
are totally reusable and recyclable.
Clay bricks provide the thermal mass so
essential for naturally comfortable indoor
temperatures.
✔
Clay bricks are natural and safe as they
have no toxic emissions.
✔
Clay bricks help you save on heating and
cooling costs.
Site orientation or the position of a house relative to the sun provides the best
opportunity to take advantage of its natural energy with minimum of fuss.
With the goal of northerly living areas (where exposure to the sun is best
controlled) the use of extended eaves will block the higher summer sun, while
allowing the low winter sun to enter your home.
Insulation
Brick size: 76mm high x 230mm long
x 110mm wide
SLIMLINE
Ceiling insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential to providing
year-round comfort. In regards to walls, this is where high thermal mass
double brick cavity wall construction comes to the fore. It’s so effective that in
some climate zones, the Building Code of Australia allows an exemption to
reduce or remove the usually required layer of wall insulation material.
For that elongated profile
Ventilation
x 110mm wide
Cross-ventilation, with openings on both sides of a home, is the best way of
cooling naturally. Fresh breezes will circulate better in open plan living spaces
however internal walls are still required for their thermal mass, helping
moderate temperatures. Vents should also be installed in the roof space to
help regulate air flow year-round.
Brick size: 50mm high x 230mm long
d o u ble H E I G H T
For a fresh take on traditional brick work
Thermal mass
More and more, energy experts are recognising why mass is good. Materials
with high thermal mass, or ability to absorb and store heat energy, are
important in most Australian climates where there is a need to average out
temperature extremes.
The density of clay bricks creates more even temperature control compared to
lightweight materials like fibre cement and weatherboard because of this
energy storing ability. It effectively delays the flow of heat through a wall by as
much as 8 to 10 hours, producing a warmer house in winter and a cooler
house in summer1.
TIP Conserve energy over the long
term by using a strong, long-lasting
and non-toxic material.
