Bowral Bricks are guaranteed to add a beautiful finish to your building project.
The unique colour variations in each delivery of Bowral Bricks also ensures the
authentic appeal that comes only with traditional manufacturing techniques.
 
Tradition of timeless quality
Bowral dry pressed bricks have been delivering timeless style and quality throughout the years, first producing this ever-popular range in the early 1900’s. Many decades later, Bowral Bricks continues to manufacture dry pressed bricks
using traditional craftsmanship techniques in Bowral, New South Wales.
 
A premium building product
Bowral Bricks selects the finest quality clays and shales to create a clay mix, which is compacted into individual moulds at high pressure to produce solid and dimensionally accurate dry pressed bricks. The nature of manufacturing provides them with extremely low moisture expansion, therefore offering a very stable building material. Modern technology helps meet nation-wide demand for dry pressed bricks designed for today’s residential and commercial building applications. Bowral Bricks are individually moulded, providing a point of difference from contemporary, high volume brick production.
 
Shapes to suit your building needs
Bowral Bricks are available in a range of special shapes, allowing limitless design posibilities, allowing you to add individuality to both the interior and exterior of your development. Endless design patterns and custom colours make Bowral dry pressed shapes the perfect solution to versatile building design.
 
Characteristics
- Low maintenance: No need to paint or perform other treatments to maintain
their aesthetics and durability. They are strong, reliable and relatively maintenance free.
- Energy efficient: Combined with intelligent passive building design
elements, clay bricks can help moderate building temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
- Affordable: Cost effective building product materials that increase the value of your investment or project from day one, for generations to come.

Peace of mind guaranteed: Bowral Bricks are backed by an exclusive Brickworks 100 year warranty.
