Brick types & selection

How do I choose the right brick type for my project?

The right brick type depends on format, colour profile and desired appearance. For project construction, Beerse brick or Klampsteen is often chosen, while Paepsteen and Kareelsteen are suitable for renovation. View our old Belgian bricks to compare the different types.

What is the difference between Beerse brick and Paepsteen?

Beerse brick usually has a more regular format and is often used in rural and contemporary facades. Paepsteen has a more authentic and slightly irregular character, making it popular for renovation and restoration projects. Both are reclaimed Belgian bricks.

What types of old Belgian bricks do you offer?

We offer various types of old Belgian bricks, including Beerse brick (18.5 cm and 21 cm), Beerse boerkes, Paepsteen, Klampsteen and Kareelsteen. Availability varies per batch, but every brick type is selected for quality and reusability. View our old Belgian bricks.

Dimensions & technical specifications

Are reclaimed bricks dimensionally stable?

Reclaimed bricks can vary slightly in dimensions, as they were historically produced. This variation creates a natural look and gives the facade character, but remains suitable for professional facade brickwork. 

How many old bricks do I need per m²?

The number of old bricks per m² depends on the format and joint width. On average, you need between 70 and 105 bricks per m². On the product page, we list an indicative value per type. View the specifications per type on the product page.

What are the dimensions of old Belgian bricks?

The dimensions of old Belgian bricks vary by type and batch. On average, they range between 170 and 220 mm in length and 40 to 65 mm in height. You can find indicative dimensions in L x W x H per brick type on the product page, where you can view the specifications per type.

Colour & custom selection

Do you select bricks manually?

Yes. Every batch is inspected and manually selected where needed. Damaged bricks are removed and we can additionally select for appearance or nuance.

Are all bricks identical in colour?

No, reclaimed bricks have a nuanced colour profile. The exact mix depends on the available batch and creates a natural facade appearance.

Can I request a specific colour mix of bricks?

Yes, we can select within a batch of old Belgian bricks for a specific colour distribution. Think of more red tones or more nuanced bricks. This selection is done manually and tailored to the project. Get in touch to discuss your preferences.

Availability & delivery
