Why BRICKS?
Bricks won’t twist or warp, rot or decay, erode or dent.
Choose from the
following five
brick styles
Natural character
Escura®
Made from clay and shale, no two bricks are identical giving each home its own
distinct personality.
Smooth Face

Velour9
Strong and safe
Temperature control
Brick homes even out temperature fluctuations because of their mass. Homes made
from brick are slow to warm up in summer and slow to lose heat in winter.

The density of brick makes for a quiet home, with reduced external sound such as
aircraft and road noise, compared to lighter weight materials.

Boral bricks meet the requirements of all six categories of the Bushfire Hazard
building standard, AS 3959-2009, including the highest category BAL-FZ,
as all bricks are greater than 90mm thick.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Bricks have negligible routine maintenance. This is an important factor to consider
when looking at the “whole-of-life” cost of your home.

The energy life cycle
Never before have new homes been built so responsively to our landscape,
climate and lifestyles.
An energy-wise home or building will use the best
combination of sustainable building considerations
such as site orientation, wall and ceiling insulation,
ventilation and materials to reduce energy
consumption and in turn greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy efficient design
It’s all about taking a long-term view on our impact
on the environment. From the initial sourcing and
manufacture of materials to the need for ongoing
maintenance and temperature control, it’s the
efficient use of energy over the lifespan of a building
that counts.
Orientation
Together with good design principles, bricks can
help you take advantage of the weather when it’s
hot or cold. When around 38 per cent of energy
use in Australian homes is directed toward artificial
heating and cooling*, this is serious long-term value.
Ceiling insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential to providing yearround comfort. In regards to walls, this is where high thermal mass double brick
cavity wall construction comes to the fore.

Home Energy Use, Baseline Energy Estimates 2008
There are four factors crucial to the energy
performance of your home:
Site orientation or the position of a building relative to the sun provides the
opportunity to take advantage of the naturally available energy. With northerly
living areas the use of extended eaves will block the higher summer sun while
allowing the low winter sun to enter your home.
Insulation
Ventilation
Cross-ventilation, with openings on both sides of a home, is the best way of
cooling naturally. Fresh breezes will circulate better in open plan living spaces
however internal walls are still required for their thermal mass, helping moderate
temperatures. Vents should also be installed in the roof space to help regulate
air flow year-round.
Thermal mass
Materials with high thermal mass, or ability to absorb and store heat energy,
are important in most Australian climates where there is a need to average out
temperature extremes. The density of clay bricks effectively delays the flow of
heat through a wall by as much as 8 to 10 hours, producing a warmer house in
winter and a cooler house in summer.

How to Choose Bricks
Step 1: Style
Research and explore ideas to try and establish the type of house you’d like to build. Examples of house styles include Contemporary,
Traditional, Beach, Georgian and Homestead. The type of house style and design will greatly influence the type of brick chosen.
Step 2: Location
The location of your property and the conditions it is subject to will determine your need for
exposure grade bricks and mortar joints.
Exposure grade bricks are made to withstand severe coastal conditions, including homes
subject to air borne salt spray. These bricks have enhanced durability ideal if your home is
located up to 1 kilometre from a surf coast or 100 metres from a non-surf coast, on land with
high saline soil, or is near a polluted atmosphere (such as an industrial site).
TIP Look for the
symbol that identifies
Boral bricks as
exposure grade.
General Purpose (GP) grade bricks are suited to all other external wall applications.
Step 3: Colour & Texture
The colours and textures now available in brick provide myriad opportunities to be creative.
Look at the big picture and think about roof colour, the guttering and fascia finish of your home, along with doors and window frames.
But keep it simple on the colour front by limiting your selections to one or two trim colours. Focus instead on textural detail and decorative
effects to create a point of difference.
Texture is a key feature in house design, and is easily achieved through a balance of finishes and surfaces that contrast and complement.
EXAMPLES OF TEXTURES:
Smooth bricks have a consistent
texture and almost ceramic appearance
with straight edges.
Velour bricks have a tightly grained
texture and straight edges
Torn face bricks have a dragged or
ripped appearance across the face
which gives them a weathered look.
Boral Bricks | Queensland
Rolled bricks are treated with
distinctive patterns prior to firing,
producing a variety of textures.
Tumbled bricks have a rough texture
and uneven edges which give them a
rustic look.
Fritted bricks have a glass-like substance
melted into the surface for a glossy or
mottled appearance.
TIP For professionally developed colour
schemes that take the stress out of selecting
exterior finishes, refer to the Boral Colour
Inspiration cards at www.boral.com.au/
colourinspirations. These colour cards
recommend modern tonal combinations
across bricks, pavers, roof tiles and
complementary fascia & gutter trim options.
Step 4: Size
Different brick sizes are available and can be used for the whole house, patterns, window sills, internal features, facades, formal areas,
fireplaces and architectural details.
The standard brick size is 76mm high x 230mm long x 110mm wide but some colours are available in a slimmer 50mm high size or a larger
162mm high.

Step 5: Mortar
You may be surprised to know that the
mortar joint and colour can considerably
alter the appearance of your bricks.
Your mortar can help achieve either a
relaxed light feel or a dramatic
contrasting effect. For example, a cream
mortar with light coloured bricks to
achieve harmony or bright white mortar
in contrast to darker bricks for a more
distinct look.
The mortar joint refers to how the band
of mortar between the bricks is finished.
Raked joints are most commonly known
however Rolled or Ironed joints
complement nearly all brick and house
styles. Flush joints provide a flatter look
by minimising shadow.
Types of mortar joints
Common mortar colours:
• Natural or grey
• White or off-white
• Cream or buff
• Coloured mortar to match the
brick colour
Raked
Ironed
Flush
Struck
TIP Wherever exposure
grade bricks are used,
finish with an Ironed or
Rolled mortar joint to
minimise erosion from salt.
