The PGH
Helping you choose the right brick for your home
At PGH we understand the importance of your brick choice. We know
that when our customers choose bricks, it is predominantly on colour.
But, more importantly, we understand that this choice cannot be made
in isolation.
Bricks make up 60% of the ‘look’ of the external façade of your home,
with roofing tiles 30% and gutter and fascia 10%. However, in terms
of the complete picture of your home, it is also important to take into
consideration the windows you intend to use and what your garage door
will look like, as these can alter the whole look you are trying to achieve.
When you choose to build with PGH, our Consultants work closely
with you to build a picture of your home, providing you with a complete
external solution.
Colour Wheel
Bricks are the starting point. To make this choice a little easier for you,
we have placed all our bricks into 6 contemporary Colour Collections.
In consultation with a wide range of design and colour experts, we have
worked our way through thousands of colours to come up with these
Colour Collections. They provide you with the perfect place to start.
It’s simple. Take a look at the Colour Wheel and select the Colour
Collection that most appeals to you. Do you like the more neutral and
muted colours of New Naturals or Rich Creams? Perhaps you prefer the
stronger colours of Dramatic Reds or Golden Tans? Maybe the current
trends of Silver Greys or Rustic Browns are more to your liking?

Finishes
Texture Texture
Weathered
Crafted to look softly aged over time.
Their distressed surface texture is
reminiscent of naturally weathered
sandstone.
As well as the colour of the bricks
you choose, it is also important to
consider the finish you want for your
home. It’s the finish that will enhance
the architectural details and design
elements, giving your home that eye
catching quality. When looking at
finishes there are two key elements to
consider – Texture and Mortar.
While the natural beauty of clay is captured forever in
the colour, it is the texture that gives every PGH brick
its unique character.
Matte Fritted Smooth
A coloured pigment is applied to the
surface. With their soft pastel finish
these are a popular choice without
the ongoing maintenance and
expense of render.
Produced when sand or minerals melt
into the brick’s surface. They owe their
distinctive colour and grain to the
addition of blue and black mineral frit.
Crisp, square edges and the consistent
texture that their name suggests.
Premium quality and superb aesthetics
that are perfect for designs where
detail is important.

Black mortar will add
contrast and highlight the
shape of each brick.
Grey mortar offers a softer,
less intrusive look.
Use brighton lite mortar to
tone in with lighter bricks or
a muted look with natural
coloured bricks.
Mortar
The traditional role of mortar is to bind bricks together. Today, mortar is a design tool that can
accentuate exterior colour and form. Off white mortar, for example, will add contrast and highlight
the shape of each brick, while buff mortar tones in with lighter bricks. Be mindful that mortar
colours will also vary depending on local sand colours. For example, brighton lite in Adelaide may be
different to brighton lite in Whyalla.
Mortar
Colour matched mortar is also available, however you will need to check with your builder if it is an option.
Once you’ve decided on the colour of the mortar,
you should also consider the type of mortar joint to
use, as each type has its own unique character.
Wirecut Thrown
Tumbled Rolled
Straight edges and a slightly rougher
texture on their face, which is great if
you are looking for a chromatic brick,
without the conventional smoothness.
Cast in sawdust-lined moulds that
produce a unique, individual texture.
This results in an unrivalled ‘one-ofa-kind’
character that adds a distinct
dimension to any home, whether ultra
modern or traditional.
There are generally three standard mortar
colours used: black, grey and brighton lite.
Round, uneven edges and a ‘handmade’
look. These gently tumbled
bricks complement both modern and
traditional designs.
Treated with a patterned cylinder prior
to firing, which produces a variety of
textures that are either rustic or grainy.
Glaze
Round Ironed Mortar Joints
These enhance the effect of the brickwork by emphasising
the mechanical regularity and repetition. To be used in
Exposure Grade conditions and they are best suited to
textures like smoothface, rolled and wirecut.
Flush Mortar Joint
When formed consistently, a Flush Mortar Joint
makes the mortar the feature. Best suited to textures
like smoothface, matte and rolled.
Raked Mortar Joints
Raked Mortar Joints create an ever-changing shadow
line for contrast and interest. Best suited to textures like
sandstocks, smoothface and rolled. These joints are not to
be used on matte coloured bricks.
A premium finish makes these bricks
something special. Their sheen is
warm with a variation of intensity of
colour across each face.

Sustainability
When it comes to energy efficiency and the environment, PGH bricks offer a lifetime of benefits.
Bricks are an essential part of energy
efficient design
Bricks build in thermal mass. This mass is a key part of
passive design, a proven method of keeping your home
at a comfortable temperature all year round and reducing
the need for heating and cooling devices. Thus, lowering
electricity loads and your costs.
The Australian Greenhouse Office says, “Thermal mass
acts as a ‘thermal battery’. During summer thermal mass
absorbs heat, keeping the house comfortable. In winter
the same thermal mass can store the heat from the sun
or heaters to release it at night, helping the home stay
warm.” (www.greenhouse.gov.au/yourhome/technical/fs17.htm)
Principles of passive solar design
Bricks are energy efficient in
manufacture and application
Using the measurement known as Embodied Energy
(the energy consumed in the manufacture of various
building materials) the CSIRO has concluded that clay
bricks have less Embodied Energy than aluminium, steel,
glass, or timber.
More importantly, over the lifetime of a home, the energy
consumed in the manufacture of the materials accounts
for only 5%. The other 95% is the ongoing running of the
home, of which a significant proportion is for heating
and cooling. The less of this required, the less direct
impact there is on the environment.
Bricks are energy efficient in application
Brickwork can be very energy efficient, but designing a
house to be cool in summer and warm in winter must
take into account more than just the walling material.
There are four factors as follows:
Orientation:
Placement of the house in relation to the sun.
Insulation:
A wall’s ability to isolate temperature.
Ventilation:
Air flow through the house.
Mass:
Heavyweight wall materials slow the passage of heat
through a wall, a process called ‘thermal lag’. The easiest
way to get this heavy mass into walls is brickwork.
The heavier the brick, the higher its thermal value.
It is important to tailor the passive design features
to each climate. For more information on Bricks &
Sustainability, go to www.thinkbrick.com.au

Colour variation
PGH bricks are made from clay and, as a result,
have a natural variation in colour, texture, composition
and size. While this produces bricks of great beauty and
character, we strongly recommend that bricks with the
same batch number be used on your project and that all
the bricks you need are delivered in one consignment.
Salt Attack Resistance (Exposure Grade)
Bricks are most commonly classified in two categories
for Salt Attack Resistance:
1. Exposure Grade – the product is suitable for a
saline or severe marine environment.
2. General Purpose – the product is suitable for general
environmental conditions but not in saline or marine
environments.
A severe marine environment is defined as up to 1km
from a surf coast or up to 100m from a non-surf coast.
A marine environment is defined as from 1km to 10km
from a surf coast or between 100m and 1km from a
non-surf coast.
