7.12 Product Comparisons<br />
There are fundamentally three types of brick that have been used, or are used, in the UK over many years. Of<br />
these clay and concrete bricks are the most prevalent, although a certain number of calcium silicate or sand/lime<br />
bricks have been used in the past. The latter are now no longer produced in this country, but <strong>Edenhall</strong>’s range of<br />
Sandfaced bricks can offer a reasonable match if extensions or replacements are required.<br />
Although clay and concrete bricks are produced to different manufacturing Standards their performance in<br />
use and application are covered by similar Standards such as PD 6697: 2010. This and other Standards detail<br />
the appropriate brick specification for various locations. A comparison of the concrete and clay Standards is<br />
shown overleaf.<br />
Further information is detailed in Brick <strong>Technical</strong> Bulletin BTB 2.<br />
