What is an EPD or environmental product declaration?

EPD stands for Environmental Product Declaration. It is a document that presents the full life cycle of a building material in a standardised way. It makes comparing different materials easier.

Preventative protection with coated bricks

When you design a project, you always intend for it to continue to look as good in the long term as it does at the beginning. White deposits from salt and limescale can spoil the look, just like green deposits and soiling from the weather. The solution to this phenomenon is the coated brick.

Coated bricks RIBA CPD available

Finishing of our bricks

Every brick is created in its own unique way. After the raw materials have been mixed, the balls of clay are formed into the desired sizes and then fired. Finally, a range of finishing options are available. This gives you exactly the look you have in mind.
