Carbon-neutral bricks from Brickworks

Brickworks Building Products has long focused on reducing the environmental impact of its extensive operations and conserving precious natural resources. With this in mind, two of its brick brands – Daniel Robertson and Austral Bricks (Tasmania) – have had their products certified as carbon neutral under the Australian Government’s National Carbon Offset Standard Carbon Neutral Program.

Daniel Robertson bricks are finished with textured surfaces and fired to produce specific colour blends. Each brick consignment is a blend of colours with subtle distinctions and shadings.

It is this variation that distinguishes Daniel Robertson bricks from others and helps to create enduring homes and architectural buildings. From the ornate to the austere, these clay bricks provide unique colour and texture variations, with, in many cases, Brickworks’ blend experts collaborating with architects to develop bespoke design solutions.

Combining sophisticated beauty with zero net emissions, the Daniel Robertson brick collection is ideal for a range of applications. danielrobertson.com.au
