Made from clay, long format bricks offer very similar benefits to standard sized bricks but with additional design impact. Whether they’re used across your full facade or as a feature detail, long format bricks can highlight the linear aspects of your project in delicate and interesting ways. Additionally, brickwork provides: **Fire resistance**: Because of the materials used, clay products are non-combustible as standard and will not contribute to the spread of fire. **Durability**: Bricks are an incredibly durable product, lasting for hundreds of years without maintenance. There are brick buildings across the world that have stood for thousands of years and linear bricks are no exception. **Sustainability**: As we think more about sustainability, linear bricks contribute to these credentials. Made from all natural materials, these long-lasting products add to a buildings thermal mass and are recyclable at the end of their lifespan. Many quarries are also located close to manufacturing factories, minimising the transport required to produce them. How are your linear bricks manufactured? Through our range of manufacturing partners, we can provide linear bricks that are produced through a number of methods, from [extruded ](/brick-finder?brickColour=&brickFinish=&brickType=36528&search=&page=1)through to [handmade](/brick-finder?brickColour=&brickFinish=&brickType=36531&search=&page=1). The way your linear brick is manufactured will affect the final appearance of your brickwork, as an extruded option will offer crisp contours while a handmade option will bring a variety of texture and character. Speak to our specification teams to discuss the look you’re going for and we’ll discuss the method of manufacture that’s best for you. What long format brick dimensions do you offer? Due to the rising popularity of long format bricks, manufacturers are meeting this demand by producing increasing varieties of linear options. Our teams are able to supply bricks with heights as low as 38mm and lengths up to 600mm, depending on your design vision. Whatever the length of your bricks, it’s important to discuss dimensions as early as possible as this will impact your bond pattern and wider brick calculations. [Get in touch](https://brickability.co.uk/contact) today for our expert advice. Can I recycle my linear bricks? As a clay linear brick is made from 100% natural materials, they can be broken down into smaller pieces and recycled. Alternatively, because of their strength and durability, bricks are a very reusable product. Depending on how old the bricks are and the conditions they’ve lived in, they may be suitable for structural purposes or will lend themselves to a number of smaller, non-weight bearing applications.
