Boral Bricks - Why build with Brick?

Why Build with Boral® Brick?

Abundant Raw Materials
Boral® bricks are made from two of the most abundant natural materials on the planet: clay and shale.
Earth-friendly Harvesting
Both clay and shale are harvested from the earth by a process that has minimal long-term environmental effects on the land. Most clay mining sites are reclaimed as wetlands or parks.
An Unsurpassed Life Cycle
Bricks are long-lasting, completely recyclable and biodegradable.
Energy Efficient
Brick construction provides the advantages of thermal mass, holding temperatures constant longer than other materials, resulting in interior environments with greater energy efficiency.

Alternative Fuel Sources
Our newest state-of-the-art plants siphon methane gas from landfills, while many of our plants use renewable fuel resources such as wood-waste materials.
Better Manufacturing Processes
Boral goes beyond compliance to further reduce waste and minimize adverse environmental effects.
Wider Distribution Network
Our 21 strategically placed manufacturing plants significantly reduce transportation costs and fuel consumption.
