Special Shaped Bricks

These special shaped bricks are suitable for new builds, refurbishment work or heritage led projects, and help maintain structural integrity while delivering clean lines and consistent detailing. With experienced branch teams on hand to advise, customers can buy online with confidence. 

Our Selection of Special Shaped Bricks and Building Bricks

Ourspecial shaped bricks range includes formats suited to forming arches, returns, window sills, step details and curved elevations. These bricks are widely used by bricklayers and contractors who require accurate transitions between planes or need to follow the geometry of a design without cutting standard bricks on site. This supports cleaner workmanship, improved structural performance and reduced installation time.

Trades working on new builds or extensions often combine special shaped bricks with standard building bricks, ensuring both structural and decorative elements align seamlessly. When matching existing properties, shaped bricks help replicate older craftsmanship, maintaining the character of period homes.

Customers completing a wider masonry project can explore the broader bricks category, which includes facing bricks, common bricks, engineering bricks and ventilation bricks for integrated brickwork solutions. Special shapes provide the finishing touch that ensures accuracy, consistency and visual continuity across the build.

Our teams assist with selecting the correct shapes for your requirements, ensuring the brick profiles match dimensions, coursing heights and bonding patterns on site. This makes the range suitable for both experienced tradespeople and homeowners undertaking more advanced masonry work.
