Face Bricks: The Ultimate Choice for Durable & Beautiful Exteriors

What Are Face Bricks and Why They Matter

Face bricks (also called exposed bricks) are specially manufactured bricks designed to form the visible exterior face of walls,no plastering required. At Hyperbuild, we stock a rich range of face bricks (including Corobrik and other trusted brands) that combine aesthetic appeal with structural integrity. Hyperbuild Bricks

These bricks are ideal when you want a timeless, low-maintenance exterior finish that weathers gracefully over time.

Key Benefits of Face Bricks

1. Low Maintenance & Longevity

Since face bricks are designed to be exposed, they require minimal upkeep, no paint flaking or frequent repairs.

2. Superior Weather Resistance

High-quality face bricks are denser and fired at higher temperatures, giving them excellent resistance to moisture, UV, and wear. Hyperbuild Bricks

3. Strong Visual Character

With a wide palette of colours, textures, and finishes, face bricks can elevate the architectural character of any building. Hyperbuild Bricks

4. Thermal & Acoustic Benefits

The mass and texture of face brick walls provide added insulation and sound dampening compared to plastered walls.

Where Face Bricks Shine: Typical Applications

• Full exterior façade (residential or commercial)

• Accent walls or feature facades

• Boundary walls with exposed finishes

• Retaining walls where aesthetics matter

• Commercial buildings seeking low-maintenance exteriors

How to Specify & Plan with Face Bricks

● Select Colour, Texture & Finish  Use sample boards to test how different bricks look under local light. 

● Structural Considerations Ensure backing walls or blockwork are compatible in strength. 

● Mortar Colour & Jointing Style Contrasting vs matching mortar changes appearance significantly. 

● Moisture Control & Flashing Proper detailing at window sills, rooflines, and base courses prevents water ingress. 

● Batch Blending Mix bricks from multiple batches during laying to avoid colour striping.
