Bricks are tough. They won't twist or warp, rot or decay, erode or dent. They are resistant to the extremes of the Australian climate and can be specified as exposure grade for coastal environments and areas classified as having harsh soils. |

Made from natural clay and shale, no two bricks are identical. This gives each home its own distinct personality, to reflect yours. Their natural make-up also means that bricks have no toxic emissions, ensuring a healthier home. |

Boral bricks are kiln-fired at temperatures of up to 1130°C, resulting in colour that is locked in for the life of the brick - without the risk of blistering or peeling that comes with other materials. |

Brick homes even out temperature fluctuations better than lighter weight materials because of their mass. Homes made from brick are slow to warm up in summer and slow to lose heat in winter, so it's good news for reducing heating and cooling costs. |

The density of brick makes for a quiet home, with dramatically reduced external sound such as aircraft, road traffic and noisy neighbours. |

Today's new generation bricks mean the variety is now vast, and so are the uses. Unlike pre-fabricated panels, their compact size, colours, textures and shapes provide infinite design options. |

|
Reliable performance over the long term makes brick a solid return on investment. When it's time to sell, brick rates well because it is trusted over newer cladding materials that haven't stood the test of time. |

|
Regain your weekends and avoid ongoing costs because bricks have negligible routine maintenance. This is an important factor to consider when looking at the “whole-of-life” cost of your home. |

Made to the highest Australian and international standards in kilns across Australia, Boral bricks are made to last. For hundreds of years, no other material shows so few signs of ageing. |
