Using Reclaimed Bricks In Construction

An important factor in construction is the cost of the build. It’s always advantageous to use low-cost and high quality materials.

One of the best ways to do this is through the use of reclaimed bricks. Reclaimed bricks are bricks that have been used previously, either in construction or for other projects. The bricks are second hand so the cost is considerably lower than using brand new alternatives.

Using reclaimed bricks is environmentally friendly too. Reclaimed bricks have a lower carbon footprint and contain ’embodied energy’. This means that using recycled bricks reduces transport, waste and new manufacturing.

This is great on builds which have an environmentally friendly focus, adding a sought after selling point to a project. The bricks also have a unique style to them. Because of the ‘miss-matched’ nature of the random bricks, they blend together and give a scattered texture to a building.
