Tradition of timeless quality

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.

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.
