Plinth Bricks

Plinth bricks are traditionally used to allow a change in the depth of the brickwork and create a splay detail at the base of a building. They are also used for window sills and corbelling details. In the image below plinth bricks are used in an unusual but inspiring way to create a feature wall for a high end residential property.
