5 Common Brick Types
Concrete Bricks
• Burnt clay bricks are the classic form of brick, created by pressing wet clay into molds,
then drying and firing them in kilns. This is a very old building material—the type of
brick found in many of the ancient structures of the world. In appearance, these bricks
are solid blocks of hardened clay, usually reddish in color.
• Burnt clay bricks are typically sold in four classes, with first-class offering the best
quality and most strength. These high-grade burnt clay bricks have no noticeable flaws,
but they’re also going to cost more.

4. FLY ASH CLAY BRICKS
• Fly ash clay bricks are manufactured with clay and fly ash—a byproduct of coal burning—fired at about
1,000 degrees C. Because fly ash contains a high volume of calcium oxide, this type of brick is
sometimes described as self-cementing, since it expands when exposed to moisture.
• This tendency to expand, however, can also produce pop-out failure. Fly ash clay brick has the
advantage of being lighter in weight than clay or concrete brick.
