New generation shades and textures make for endless design
flexibility. Boral bricks are resistant to the extremes of the
Australian climate with many specified as exposure grade
for coastal, saline soils and harsh environments. With no other
material showing so few signs of ageing, Boral bricks will
maintain their natural beauty wherever you choose to build.

Give yourself a head start and create a lasting
impression by choosing Boral Bricks.
Why BriCKs?
When it comes to walls, today’s natural clay brick is
unrivalled in performance, looks and long-term value.
STRONg AND SAFE
DESIgN FLExIBILITy
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.
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.
RESALE vALUE
NATURAL CHARACTER
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.
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.
vIRTUALLy mAINTENANCE-FREE
ENDURINg COLOUR
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. With
no superficial surface coat applied, there is no risk of blistering or
peeling that comes with other materials.
TEmPERATURE CONTROL
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.
ACOUSTIC PERFORmANCE
The density of brick makes for a quiet home, with dramatically
reduced external sound such as aircraft and road noise.
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.
LONg LASTINg
Made to the highest international standards from kilns across
Australia, Boral bricks are made to last. For hundreds of years, no
other material shows so few signs of ageing.
ENERgy CONFIDENCE
See the National Housing Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS)
thermal values for each brick to assist in enhancing the energy
efficiency of your home.
The NatHERS value for this brick is Light.
The NatHERS value for this brick is Medium.
The NatHERS default value for this brick is Medium.

The energy life cycle
Never before have new homes been built so responsively to our
landscape, climate and lifestyles.
4
The introduction of minimum standards and
energy reduction targets for new houses across
most Australian states is aiding this change. And
the good news is that armed with the right advice
and information, it doesn't have to be difficult.
An energy-wise home 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.
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.
That's why as the 'whole-of-life' benefits of brick
are uncovered, architects, designers and builders
in the know are recognising its green credentials.
Once bricks are made, the embodied energy
consumption ends there, because there is no
need to add a coating to maintain its finish.
Bricks made from clay and shale allow homes to
breathe - unlike man-made products such as
metal and fibre cement cladding. Similarly paints
can release volatile organic compounds like
formaldehyde, providing another reason not to
coat bricks.
Together with good design principles, bricks can
help you take advantage of the weather when it's
hot, and give you the best protection when it's not. When around 38 per
cent of end energy use in Australian homes is directed toward artificial
heating and cooling1, this is serious long-term value.
✔
Clay bricks are virtually age-proof and
are totally reusable and recyclable.
✔
Clay bricks provide the thermal mass so
essential for naturally comfortable
indoor temperatures.
✔
Clay bricks are natural and safe, with no
toxic emissions.
✔
Clay bricks help you save on heating
and cooling costs.

tiP Brick is a good natural insulator but
double brick is the best.
energy efficient design
There are four factors crucial to the
energy performance of your home:
ORIENTATION
Site orientation or the position of a house relative to the sun provides the best
opportunity to take advantage of its natural energy with minimum of fuss.
With the goal of northerly living areas (where exposure to the sun is best
controlled) the use of extended eaves will block the higher summer sun, while
allowing the low winter sun to enter your home.
INSULATION
Ceiling insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential to providing
year-round comfort. in regards to walls, this is where high thermal mass
double brick cavity wall construction comes to the fore. it’s so effective that in
some climate zones, the Building Code of Australia allows an exemption to
reduce or remove the usually required layer of wall insulation material.
B r i ck S i z e s
Different brick sizes are available and
can be used for the whole house,
patterns, window sills, internal features,
facades, formal areas, fireplaces and
other architectural details.
S TA N DA R D H E i G H T
Brick size: 76mm high x 230mm long
x 110mm wide
SLiMLiNE
For that elongated profile
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
More and more, energy experts are recognising why mass is good. 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 creates more even temperature control compared to
lightweight materials like fibre cement and weatherboard because of this
energy storing ability. it 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 summer1.
in NSW, where new homes require a BASiX (Building Sustainability index)
certificate, consideration should be given to solar absorption accumulated
through brick colour. Refer to our NSW brick brochure for the relevant National
Housing Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) value for each of our bricks.
