Long Format Bricks
Long Format Bricks to Make a Bold Project Statement
Creative Brick Solutions supplies a carefully selected range of high-quality long format bricks for architects, designers and contractors seeking to create distinctive, design-led facades. With a strong focus on specification, material quality and architectural performance, we bring an extensive choice of colours, textures and glazed finishes to the UK market.
Also known as Roman bricks, long format bricks are characterised by their elongated proportions and strong linear appearance. Their slimmer, extended shape can be used to emphasise horizontal or vertical movement across a facade, helping buildings feel broader, taller or more refined. This makes them particularly well suited to contemporary residential, commercial, education and mixed-use developments.
Our long format brick range offers architects greater freedom to create unique elevations with rhythm, depth and individuality. Available in a variety of lengths, finishes and surface treatments, these bricks can be used to produce bold modern statements or more subtle, Roman-inspired designs. Our brick experts can support your project with product selection, samples, specification guidance and technical advice from the initial concept through to delivery.
BRUT DE FOUR
Brut De Four long format bricks are made from high-quality clay, making this product lang-lasting. With a raw and unpolished look, Brut De Four bricks bring authenticity to any project.
NATURAL TERRACOTTA
Natural Terracotta long format bricks are formed in the process of moulding raw clay, drying it, and the firing it in a kiln. This provides a durable and dense product that will last for decades.
Smoked
Smoked long format bricks are crafted from a quality blend of clay, sand and mineral additives, then fired to achieve a rich finish. A second firing process gives the bricks their luxurious smoked character.
ENGOBED
This brick is coated in decorative ceramic that provides the brick with uneven marks. Each long format brick is different, allowing creativity in every project while keeping an unarguable traditional appearance.
GLAZED
Long format glazed bricks offer a smooth, glass-like surface, created by applying a glaze and firing it onto the brick. They offer durability, moisture resistance, and aesthetic appeal to architectural designs.
HIT & MISS BRICKS
Hit and miss bricks can provide buildings with a unique and distinctive appearance. Their design creates a pattern where the bricks are not fully aligned, with gaps showing parts of the underlying wall.
