Featured Bricks
We listed 4 of TOBERMORE UK’s well-known bricks that we feature on our project.
1. Lansdowne
Known for their hard-wearing capabilities and exceptional long-lasting colours, Tobermore’s Lansdowne Facing Bricks are popular with professionals.
Manufactured with three perforated voids in each brick, the bricks bond to the mortar on both sides, reducing the issue of floating. The product is incredibly strong and durable, being frost-resistant and providing a minimum crushing strength in excess of 22N/ mm2, comfortably exceeding the performance requirements of a standard facing brick.
2. Kingston
If you want a facing brick product with a smooth vibrant appearance, Tobermore’s Kingston Facing Bricks are a great choice.

3. Country Stone
The nostalgic appearance of natural stone is a popular choice for construction projects, particularly housebuilding schemes, that’s why Country Stone Walling has a rugged finish that creates a classic, vintage look similar to natural stone.
Country Stone Walling offers versatile building options as it can be used alone on the exterior of a building or integrated with other materials such as facing brick or render to produce buildings with a unique look.
4. Garden Stone
For projects that require a dry stone walling product with an attractive finish, Tobermore’s Garden Stone Walling ticks all the boxes. The product is a free-standing, mortar-free solution which guarantees a fast and simple installation process as the tapered blocks are simply glued together and the joints do not require pointing.
With the product faced on both sides, it can be installed anywhere as it doesn’t have to be infilled with planting etc. at either side. This feature also allows for making a statement with curved features or creating stylish separation areas.
Why use Bricks & Blocks?
Building a house exclusively of bricks can be costly, but it’s a sensible investment that pays off. Interior walls made of bricks help adjust the building’s temperature, as they store heat and cool air. In winter, the walls offer warmth, while on a hot summer day they have a cooling effect. This creates a pleasant indoor climate, which means healthy houses.
Besides comfort, a building made of bricks also has some financial advantages. Houses made entirely out of brickwork cost less in the long run, because they need less energy for heating. Research has proved that bricks for internal walls are best suited to households with passive and lower energy consumption, as the walls efficiently support the house’s heating system and also absorb humidity that cannot escape through efficient climate shielding.
