Reduction firing is the pre-eminent method to produce through colour bricks that range in colour from silvery whites through to mid toned greys and dark greys. Minor iridescent blue flashes are the tell tale signature of reduction fired bricks. Reduction fired bricks are fired in 2 separate kilns, the second being an earth covered kiln devoid of oxygen but with just the right amount of moisture.
Due to the complex nature of production, typical lead time for reduction fired bricks is 16 weeks.
"In a world where conformity often prevails, our dedication to innovation and sustainability stands out. We welcome you to join us on our journey towards a brighter and more innovative future for bricks."
Sustainable Stewardship
We are committed to a greener future. Our brick factory plants more trees each year (fast growing Eucalyptus trees) rehabilitating our clay fields, embodying our belief in giving back to nature. Our bricks works looks more like a forest than a brick works! Furthermore, we harvest our trees for use in paper and pallet production, ensuring we can continue our tree planting while providing a renewable resource to the paper and packaging industry. Our on site solar farm produces 1000kW and we expect to entirely eliminate our use of electricity from non-renewable sources by 2025.
Factory Flexibility
Our factory is built for flexibility, what other brick makers do with 4 separate lines we do with 1. Our clay preparation line supplies clay clots to our hand moulding line, our pressed brick line, our machine waterstruck line and our extruded line. Within 2 hours we can switch between any of these 4 different methods for making bricks.
World Recognised Projects
Our projects have received acclaim worldwide, including the esteemed Wienerberger Brick Award for the Halle St Peters project.
Global Reach
Today bricks produced in our factory are used in 46 countries and counting.
