Style Ambassador
“The evolution of style is something I am really passionate about. My personal style is about self-expression and innovation as well as classic qualities that stand the test of time. Bricks are the starting point of beautiful homes, great structures and well-designed spaces presenting endless opportunities for design visions. This journey with Brickworks means that I can take my love of style and function into the built environment and I’m really excited about the design possibilities.”

BENEFITS of Austral Bricks
Low maintenance
Clay bricks don’t need paint or other treatments to maintain their aesthetics and durability. They are strong, reliable and relatively maintenance free.
Affordable
Brickwork doesn’t need painting, rendering or any other coating to preserve its look and durability, making it highly cost-effective.
Expansive colour and profile range
Bricks natural colours and textures enable you to create both striking façade contrasts and more traditional neutral colour schemes.
Energy efficient
Combined with intelligent passive building design elements, clay bricks can help moderate building temperatures and reduce energy consumption.
Absolute strength
Clay bricks are stronger and have a lower rate of absorption than concrete bricks, making them easier to work with.
Brick is sustainable
Made from organic minerals found in shale and local, naturally abundant sources of clay, brick’s long-lasting life cycle offers ongoing environmental and health benefits.
