BENEFITS OF CLAY FACE BRICKS
Corobrik clay face bricks aren’t only about looks. They bring real, measurable advantages across the life of a building, from running costs and comfort to safety and resale value. Here’s what sets clay face brick apart.
Low Maintenance
Corobrik clay face bricks require little maintenance to retain their good looks and provide optimal protection from harsh weather conditions. Face bricks don’t need paint or other treatments to maintain their aesthetics and durability.
Fire Resistance
Corobrik clay face bricks are fire resistant, as they are produced at temperatures of between 800 and 1,000 degrees Celsius. Clay bricks cannot burn and will not add to the “fire load” the way combustible building materials such as wood do.
Sustainability
Corobrik is committed to pursuing a sustainable future and treads softly on the planet across the three dimensions of sustainability: social, environmental and economic. We continuously work to improve our environmental position.
Healthy Buildings
Corobrik clay face brick is a product of the earth. It does not contain chemicals and does not emit harmful gases during or after construction.
Durability
The many century-old clay brick buildings in South Africa and around the world bear testament to the longevity of clay face brick buildings, built to outlast generations. The colour of clay face brick does not fade; it deepens and improves over time.
Energy Efficiency
Corobrik clay face bricks have excellent thermal performance properties that contribute to longer periods of thermal comfort through all the seasons, with lower costs associated with heating and cooling buildings and homes.
Sound Insulation
Corobrik clay brick walls are a natural sound barrier, thanks to the density and thickness of clay brick. Clay brickwork resists the transmission of airborne sound, supporting quieter indoor environments.
Aesthetic Appeal
Available in a variety of rich colours, textures and shapes, Corobrik’s colourfast clay face bricks let you create the built environment you desire. Clay face bricks and clay pavers are flexible in design and complement one another perfectly.
