Crystal Clear Glazed Bricks

Crystal clear glazed bricks use a translucent coating to give the building’s façade a natural look inspired by the world around us.

These bricks are returned to the kiln for a second high-temperature firing of the clay. This process helps combine the finely crushed glass to the brick exterior so it becomes hard and impervious. These bricks are available in 36 different shades to suit modern architects requiring a range of transparent colours.

FAQ

What are glazed bricks?





Glazed bricks are standard clay bricks finished with a hard, glossy surface created through a high-temperature glazing process. This finish adds a vibrant colour, with sheen and durability, making glazed bricks ideal for creating striking facades, feature walls, and decorative details in architectural projects.

How are glazed bricks fixed to a wall?





Glazed bricks are installed in much the same way as standard clay bricks, using traditional bricklaying methods. Care must be taken during handling and laying to protect the glazed surface from damage. A suitable mortar is applied, and the bricks are carefully aligned to maintain consistent joints and maximise the architectural impact of the glazed finish.

What mortar should be used to install glazed bricks?





When laying glazed bricks, it is recommended to use a high-quality, colour-consistent mortar that complements the glazed finish. Use a contrasting mortar to highlight the shape of the individual bricks, or a similar colour to the bricks to create a block of colour. Mortars with reduced risk of staining are preferred, as they protect the appearance of the glaze during installation and over time.

How do architects use glazed bricks?





Architects use glazed bricks to introduce colour, texture, and visual impact into their designs. They are often specified for feature facades, accent bands, entrances and statement walls where a bold finish is required. With a wide choice of colours and nuances, glazed bricks allow architects to create striking contrasts, highlighting key building elements.

Can glazed bricks be customised to suit specific design requirements?





We can supply glazed bricks in bespoke colours, shapes and formats to meet your unique design specifications. Whether you need custom sizing, a particular texture, or a specific shade to match your project’s palette, our team of brick experts can work with you to create the perfect solution for your architectural project.

Product Description

Creative Brick Solutions offers a revolutionary product in the form of crystal clear glazed bricks. This contemporary design element will give any building’s façade a natural look that exudes a sense of nature within the urban environment. By introducing these bricks to your project’s façade, you’ll bring an optical sensation that you can be proud of.

The bricks undergo a twice-fired process in which they are returned to the kiln for a high-temperature second firing. The purpose of this is twofold. Firstly, it helps combine the finely crushed glass to the brick exterior so it becomes hard and impervious. Secondly, once vitrified, the glazing fixes itself to the brick creating a strong bond that gives your building an unmatched beauty.

With Creative Brick Solutions, you have 36 different shades at your disposal – versatile options for modern architects looking for transparent colours for their next project. These bricks not only offer aesthetic appeal but also contribute to ensuring that your projects meet safety standards with their sturdy construction and innovative design features.
