These are then placed into moulds and cast in concrete, rendering the arch a solid structure which we deliver intact, ready to be lifted into place on site. To find out more about how you can save time and money onsite using prefabricated arches please contact our brick specials team on 08705 258258.

PS/SD - pistol and soldier bricks

The use of soldier courses gives opportunities to break up mass and add interest to large areas of brickwork, in complementary or contrasting colours and textures. This group allows the neat and effective detailing of soldier courses around internal and external 90 degree returns.

Plinth specials are often used to create a splay detail at the base of a building. They are also increasingly being used for corbel detailing and window surround details in association with angle and cant specials.

RD - radial bricks
Radial specials are primarily used to form circular detail brickwork in plan, without having tapered joints. They also give a true, concise curve to brickwork without the unattractive stepping that would otherwise be seen if standard facing bricks were used.

AR - arch bricks and arch systems

Arch or tapered bricks are used to form semicircular, bulls eye, segmental or other forms of decorative arch units to several different radii specified in the standard. Our pre-packaged arch sets make the construction of traditional voussoir-style window and door arches simple and accurate. Although purpose made specials have always been available, they have, in the past, only been produced to order. This is especially true of arches. We have now enhanced this facility by manufacturing a wide choice of classic arch sets that can usually be delivered direct to site within three weeks from acceptance of order.
