Solid brick, also known as construction brick, is one of the oldest and most versatile materials used in construction. For centuries, it has been an essential element in structural design, with applications in residential buildings, industrial facilities, and various other types of structures. This durable and robust brick is vital for many construction projects due to its ability to withstand significant loads. It is also used as a decorative element in interior finishes and serves as an excellent material for building grills, smokehouses, and a variety of garden features such as fences and walkways.
At Łabuda Brickworks, solid ceramic bricks are produced using a partially automated process that involves precise shaping and firing of clay at high temperatures. The standard dimensions of each brick are 250 mm in length, 120 mm in width, and 65 mm in height, allowing for easy placement in masonry construction. Each brick weighs approximately 3.3 kg, making it sturdy enough for structural use while still convenient to handle.
A strength class of 15 or 20 means that solid bricks can withstand significant loads, making them suitable for building structural walls—both interior and exterior—as well as vaults, chimney flues, and other load-bearing elements. Thanks to their solid, non-perforated structure, these bricks offer increased mechanical strength and are less prone to damage. In addition, they feature low water absorption and high frost resistance, which makes them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Solid ceramic brick is an excellent material for a variety of construction applications. It is used for building structural walls—both interior and exterior—as well as for vaults, chimney flues, and other load-bearing components. Its durability and resistance make it ideal for projects that must withstand harsh weather conditions.
In addition to its structural uses, solid brick is also a popular finishing material. Its natural texture and warm red color add charm and character, making it a sought-after decorative element in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, as well as in gardens and outdoor structures like gazebos.
Solid brick is also well known for its insulating properties—both thermal and acoustic. In summer, it helps keep interiors cool, while in winter it retains heat, contributing to the building’s overall energy efficiency. Additionally, solid brick provides effective sound insulation, making it an ideal material for rooms facing busy streets or high-noise areas.
Another advantage of solid brick is its environmentally friendly nature. Made from clay—a raw material containing no additives other than sand—it is safe for the environment, emits no harmful substances, and is friendly to occupants by supporting a healthy indoor microclimate. This makes solid brick an excellent choice for those seeking durable and sustainable building materials.
