Special Shaped Bricks

wienerberger stocks the widest range of special bricks in the UK, as well as offering a bespoke specials service for your specific needs.

Special shaped bricks are specifically designed to various shapes and dimensions to complement and contrast the standard metric or imperial brick. Special bricks give architects and builders the freedom to create innovative designs, while providing seamless functionality, extra durability and can even reduce build time and waste on-site.

Special bricks can be used on virtually any project, from high-rise structures to bungalows. They simply provide design flexibility, speed of build and a level of aesthetic detail that’s unachievable with standard metric or imperial bricks.

Guaranteed quality and value from wienerberger

All our cut-and-bonded specials are produced with high-quality adhesives and complementary sands, ensuring long-term performance and providing a perfect match for our standard facing brick range.

To ensure our customers only ever receive the finest quality products, we exclusively offer performance guarantees on fabricated specials that are made in our production sites. Our production sites are also covered by an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

Another benefit of using our fabricated specials is our all-inclusive pricing. There’s a misconception that using bricks already on site to produce fabricated specials is the better value option, but this calculation usually doesn’t consider the initial cost of the component. Our prices cover the cost of the bricks, the manufacturing of the special shape and even delivery (dependent on volume).
