Bricks are ordered by piece, by hundred or by wall area.
Piece counts do not transfer between brick types of different sizes. Availability varies by grade, size, thickness, length, brand, quantity and specification. Current status is confirmed at quotation.

Frequently asked
How many bricks per square metre?
