Special shaped bricks, also known as brick specials, are unique decorative and complement brickwork facade. All Brick & Stone specialise in the production of a range of bespoke brick specials for restoration work on period properties. We can match to any existing shape, colour or texture, enabling the character of traditional buildings to be preserved for future generations.

 

what are brick specials used for?

Brick specials can be used in various ways, such as in the construction of arches, window surrounds, and decorative panels. They can also be used to create patterns and textures on the façade of a building displaying unique architectural features.

Overall, brick specials offer versatility and creativity in architectural design, allowing for the customization of buildings to meet the unique vision of architects and designers to complement and contrast a standard metric or imperial brick. Whether it is a modern, contemporary design or a traditional, historical facade, these bricks can be used to enhance the overall appearance of a building and are particularly suited to traditional architecture, meaning they continue to be very popular in the UK.
