riangle Brick has put together this special shapes guide to help you decide what
shapes will work best with your design. In addition to the specific dimensions and
shapes illustrated, we’ve included a number of photographs to give you an idea of how
other builders have used brick as the main ingredient in their buildings and as creative accents
around the exterior of the home.

Custom Shapes
T
he illustrations and photos in this shapes guide represent a variety of shapes to enhance
your design. The most commonly used special shapes are shown in this guide, but if you can
imagine it, we can probably design it. Send us your custom-designed shape drawing with
dimensions and sizes you need. We will examine the drawing and advise what can be done.
To order any of the shapes illustrated in this guide, simply identify the specific brick shape
by the number indicated and use the number when ordering. Include the type, size and any other
important information about the brick you request. The shapes in this guide and custom orders cannot
be cancelled once production has begun.

Brick Arches and
Keys
T
here is something rather grand and stately about an arch, and brick arches are especially
elegant. Arches can be built in several different shapes and styles to give windows and
doorways a graceful, finished look. Visually uplifting, arches serve to beckon and welcome.
Arches can be simple and understated or bold and dramatic. Keys are a classic feature of some
types of arches, and they can help create a sense of tradition and substance. The smooth surfaces
contrast beautifully with the textures of surrounding brick.

Ogee Treads
and Sills
O
gee bricks give treads and sills a soft, smooth finish and a look of refined elegance.
They speak of quality, gentility and the pride of craftsmanship. The smooth, rounded edges
of ogee treads can turn outdoor steps into a gracious, inviting entrance.
Ogee sills lend the same aesthetic enhancement to windows, giving them a firm foundation
on which to rest. The soft edges and horizontal lines of ogee sills are accent features that add depth and
definition.

Watertables, Radials
and Angles
O
nce a functional element in building design, watertables are now used to enhance
visual appeal by adding depth and detail. Watertables can be simple or elaborate to match
the size and design of the building.
Radial bricks, with their gently curved surfaces, are used to create circular columns or
serpentine walls. Radials form brickwork with smooth, sweeping curves, uninterrupted by sharp angles
or jagged edges.
Angle bricks allow brickwork to change course without a mortar joint at every turn. They
give meandering walls a natural, flowing look.

Bullnose Bricks and
Wall Caps
B
ullnose bricks are far more attractive than their name suggests. With ends that are rounded on
one edge and square on the other, bullnose can enhance a variety of design features. They
are often used to top off walls, giving them a soft, elegantly finished appearance.
The different shapes of brick wall caps can create a range of looks — from simple to stately to
dressy. Ogee caps and bell caps, for example, soften corners and angles. Half-moon caps give walls a
rounded top, and ridge caps have straight sides that slope away from a sharp peak.
The right brick cap can be a beautiful complement to any wall design.
