Face Bricks

Face bricks are selected for applications where the finished brick surface remains exposed and forms part of the final appearance of a structure. Manufactured for visual consistency, colour stability, and weather resistance, face bricks are commonly used where both structural performance and surface finish are important.

Face Brick Grades Explained

Face bricks are classified according to appearance tolerance and aesthetic consistency, not structural strength. All face bricks meet minimum strength requirements, but the grading system helps specify the visual quality of exposed brickwork.

FBX - Highest Grade

FBX face bricks represent the highest aesthetic standard. They offer excellent colour consistency, uniform texture, and minimal visual variation. FBX bricks are typically specified for architectural projects where exposed brickwork is a defining design feature and visual uniformity is critical.

Best suited for:

  • Feature facades
  • High-end residential builds
  • Commercial architecture
  • Projects where the brick finish must be visually flawless

FBS- Mid-Range

FBS face bricks provide a good balance between appearance and cost. Some variation in colour and texture is acceptable, but overall visual consistency remains suitable for exposed brickwork. This grade is commonly used where appearance is important but does not need to meet premium architectural standards.

Best suited for

  • Residential homes
  • Boundary walls
  • Developments where exposed brickwork is required with controlled visual variation
