History of Long Bricks
Long bricks have a very long and interesting history.
Often referred to as ‘Roman’ bricks due to their excessive use in early Roman architecture.
You can see many different buildings in Rome, including the world-famous Colosseum (built almost 2000 years ago), which still stands today made from these long, linear ‘roman’ clay bricks!
More recently, longer bricks are popular for higher-end developments, unique builds and projects wanting a distinctive appearance that looks both stylish and out-of-the-ordinary.
