Why <strong>Bricks</strong>?<br />
When it comes to walls, today’s natural clay brick is<br />
unrivalled in performance, looks and long-term value.<br />
Strong and Safe<br />
<strong>Bricks</strong> won’t twist or warp, rot or decay, erode or dent.<br />
natural character<br />
made from clay and shale, no two bricks are identical giving each home its own<br />
distinct personality.<br />
temperature control<br />
Brick homes even out temperature fluctuations because of their mass. homes made<br />
from brick are slow to warm up in summer and slow to loose heat in winter.<br />
acouStic performance<br />
the density of brick makes for a quiet home, with reduced external sound such as<br />
aircraft and road noise, compared to lighter weight materials.<br />
fire reSiStance<br />
<strong>Boral</strong> bricks meet the requirements of all six categories of the Bushfire hazard<br />
building standard, aS 3959 - 2009, including the highest category Bal- FZ,<br />
as all bricks are greater than 90mm thick.<br />
loW maintenance<br />
<strong>Bricks</strong> have negligible routine maintenance. this is an important factor to consider<br />
when looking at the “whole-of-life” cost of your home.<br />

The energy life cycle<br />
never before have new homes been built so responsively to our landscape,<br />
climate and lifestyles.<br />
an energy-wise home or building will use the best<br />
combination of sustainable building considerations<br />
such as site orientation, wall and ceiling insulation,<br />
ventilation and materials to reduce energy<br />
consumption and in turn greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
it’s all about taking a long-term view on our impact<br />
on the environment. From the initial sourcing and<br />
manufacture of materials to the need for ongoing<br />
maintenance and temperature control, it’s the<br />
efficient use of energy over the lifespan of a building<br />
that counts.<br />
together with good design principles, bricks can<br />
help you take advantage of the weather when it’s<br />
hot or cold. When around 38 per cent of energy use<br />
in australian homes is directed toward artificial<br />
heating and cooling*, this is serious long-term value.<br />

Energy efficient design<br />
there are four factors crucial to the energy<br />
performance of your home:<br />
orientation<br />
Site orientation or the position of a building relative to the sun provides the<br />
opportunity to take advantage of the naturally available energy. With northerly<br />
living areas the use of extended eaves will block the higher summer sun while<br />
allowing the low winter sun to enter your home.<br />
inSulation<br />
Ceiling insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential to providing<br />
year-round comfort. in regards to walls, this is where high thermal mass<br />
double brick cavity wall construction comes to the fore.<br />
Ventilation<br />
Cross-ventilation, with openings on both sides of a home, is the best way of<br />
cooling naturally. Fresh breezes will circulate better in open plan living spaces<br />
however internal walls are still required for their thermal mass, helping moderate<br />
temperatures. Vents should also be installed in the roof space to help<br />
regulate air flow year-round.<br />
thermal maSS<br />
materials with high thermal mass, or ability to absorb and store heat energy,<br />
are important in most australian climates where there is a need to average<br />
out temperature extremes. the density of clay bricks effectively delays the<br />
flow of heat through a wall by as much as 8 to 10 hours, producing a<br />
warmer house in winter and a cooler house in summer.<br />

4 <strong>Boral</strong> <strong>Bricks</strong> | Victoria, tasmania & South australia<br />
How to Choose <strong>Bricks</strong><br />
step 1: style<br />
research and explore ideas to try and establish the type of house you’d like to build. examples of house styles include Contemporary,<br />
traditional, Beach, Georgian and homestead. the type of house style and design will greatly influence the type of brick chosen.<br />
step 2: location<br />
the location of your property and the conditions it is subject to will determine your need for<br />
exposure grade bricks and mortar joints.<br />
exposure grade bricks are made to withstand severe coastal conditions, including homes<br />
subject to air borne salt spray. these bricks have enhanced durability ideal if your home is<br />
located up to 1 kilometre from a surf coast or 100 metres from a non-surf coast, on land with<br />
high saline soil, or is near a polluted atmosphere (such as an industrial site).<br />
General purpose (Gp) grade bricks are suited to all other external wall applications.<br />
step 3: colour & texture<br />
the colours and textures now available in brick provide myriad opportunities to be creative.<br />
look at the big picture and think about roof colour, the guttering and fascia finish of your home, along with doors and window frames.<br />
But keep it simple on the colour front by limiting your selections to one or two trim colours. Focus instead on textural detail and decorative<br />
effects to create a point of difference.<br />
texture is a key feature in house design, and is easily achieved through a balance of finishes and surfaces that contrast and complement.<br />
eXampleS oF teXtureS:<br />
smooth bricks have a consistent<br />
texture and almost ceramic appearance<br />
with straight edges.<br />
velour bricks have a tightly grained<br />
texture and straight edges<br />
tiP Look for the<br />
symbol that identifies<br />
<strong>Boral</strong> bricks as<br />
exposure grade.<br />
torn face bricks have a dragged or<br />
ripped appearance across the face<br />
which gives them a weathered look.
olled bricks are treated with<br />
distinctive patterns prior to firing,<br />
producing a variety of textures.<br />
step 4: size<br />
different brick sizes are available and can be used for the whole house, patterns, window sills, internal features, facades, formal areas,<br />
fireplaces and architectural details.<br />
the standard brick size is 76mm high x 230mm long x 110mm wide but some colours are available in a slimmer 50mm high size or a larger<br />
162mm high.<br />
slimline<br />
step 5: Mortar<br />
You may be surprised to know that the<br />
mortar joint and colour can considerably<br />
alter the appearance of your bricks.<br />
Your mortar can help achieve either a<br />
relaxed light feel or a dramatic<br />
contrasting effect. For example, a cream<br />
mortar with light coloured bricks to<br />
achieve harmony or bright white mortar<br />
in contrast to darker bricks for a more<br />
distinct look.<br />
Common mortar ColourS:<br />
• Natural or grey<br />
• White or off-white<br />
• Cream or buff<br />
• Coloured mortar to match the<br />
brick colour<br />
tiP For professionally developed colour<br />
schemes that take the stress out of selecting<br />
exterior finishes, refer to the <strong>Boral</strong> Colour<br />
Inspiration cards at www.boral.com.au/<br />
colourinspirations. These colour cards<br />
recommend modern tonal combinations<br />
across bricks, pavers, roof tiles and<br />
complementary fascia & gutter trim options.<br />
tumbled bricks have a rough texture<br />
and uneven edges which give them a<br />
rustic look.<br />
standard Height<br />
the mortar joint refers to how the band<br />
of mortar between the bricks is finished.<br />
raked joints are most commonly known<br />
however rolled or ironed joints<br />
complement nearly all brick and house<br />
styles. Flush joints provide a flatter look<br />
by minimising shadow.<br />
