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. 

Matte 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. 

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. 

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. 

Wirecut 

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.

The bricks below are all the same. Note the difference 

the colour of mortar makes to their appearance. 

Crisp white mortar will add 

contrast and highlight the 

shape of each brick. 

Natural grey mortar offers a 

softer, less intrusive look. 

Use off white mortar to tone 

in with lighter bricks or a 

muted look with natural 

coloured bricks. 

Thrown Tumbled Rolled 

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. 

Mortar 

The traditional role of mortar is to bind bricks together. Today, mortar is a design tool that can 

accentuate exterior colour and form. Crisp white mortar, for example, will add contrast and 

highlight the shape of each brick, while off-white mortar offers a softer, less intrusive look. 

Be mindful that mortar colours will also vary depending on local sands. For example, natural grey 

in Brisbane would be different to natural grey in Rockhampton. 

Mortar 

Round, uneven edges and a ‘handmade’ 

look. These gently tumbled 

bricks complement both modern and 

traditional designs. 

Colour matched mortar is also available, however you will need to check with your builder 

if it is an option. 

Round Ironed Mortar Joints 

Mortar Colour Sand Colour Cement Colour 

Natural Grey Pit Sand Grey 

Off White White Ivory 

White White White 

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. 

Treated with a patterned cylinder prior 

to firing, which produces a variety of 

textures that are either rustic or grainy. 

These enhance the effect of the brickwork by 

emphasising the mechanical regularity and 

repetition. 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.

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.
