Special shaped bricks
Using special shaped bricks or brick specials adds a high quality finish to brickwork ensuring extra durability and protection to vulnerable areas. There are also advantages to using brick specials on-site, as they reduce the time spent hand cutting bricks.
Because Special Shaped bricks are generally used in situations of severe exposure such as copings and cills, powerful resistance to water penetration and high durability has always been essential. Ketley Bricks are generally solid and have stood the ultimate test, the test of time. In the early part of the 20th Century their blue colour was regarded as the stamp of durability, nowadays their performance under crushing tests, water absorption and abrasion tests is evidence of this.
