Single Fired Glazed Bricks

Single-fired glazing consists in simultaneously firing the raw terracotta and finely crushed coloured glass in the same firing process. Much like what you would find with natural terracotta, the baking process allows for products with more shades.

Ultimately, using single-fired glazed bricks can allow you to experiment with colours and lighting, giving you the ability to create something unique to your surroundings.

Key Features

Specific shades based on the RAL colour chart can be crafted, in addition to the catalogue of colours.

Patterns can be created by combining shapes or angles of bricks that, once assembled, create a variety of finishes depending on the chosen style.

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.
