Reclaimed Bricks
Reclaimed bricks from reclamation yards like ours are a popular choice of building material. They can give any building project character, charm and a sense of history that new bricks cannot always replicate. Salvaged from demolished structures, reclaimed bricks help reduce waste and allow usable historic materials to be given a new life. Unlike newly made modern bricks, they often display weathered surfaces, natural colour variation and signs of their previous use.
Reclaimed bricks can also offer good value, particularly where suitable stock is readily available. By choosing reclaimed bricks for your project, you can introduce an authentic, established appearance and help new work blend naturally with existing buildings and surroundings.
Why Use Reclaimed Bricks?
- Unique visual appeal
- Character & History
- Reducing waste and helping the environment
- Good quality bricks
How Do We Reclaim Bricks?
How Do We Reclaim Bricks?
The practice of removing bricks from old buildings and preparing them for reuse in new construction and restoration projects is known as brick reclamation. Reclamation yards such as ours collect and inspect bricks salvaged from construction and demolition sites before supplying them to customers.
After careful cleaning and sorting by type, size, colour and condition, suitable bricks are ready to be used again in building, repair and landscaping projects. This process helps preserve historic building materials that might otherwise be discarded.
We collect bricks from construction and demolition sites in an effort to preserve and revive historic building materials. After undergoing a thorough restoration process of cleaning and sorting, these recovered bricks are ready to be used in any type of building project.
