Kitchen

Because of its warm, durable, and low-maintenance needs, brick flooring can provide a distinctive charm in the kitchen. Its strength and hard surface minimises damage from dropped pots, pans and utensils, and its durability offers a long-lasting appeal needed in high-traffic areas. Brick is also non-combustible, making it the perfect flooring choice underneath stoves. The rustic charm of brick flooring in the kitchen is well-matched with a padded rug for extra comfort.

Living room

Brick flooring can add a unique and distinctive charm to living rooms and sitting spaces, particularly if these spaces open up to exteriors and blur the lines between outside and in. Add some cosy, soft touches with rugs and pillows, and you have an impressive living room that keeps warm in winter and cool in summer. Being non-combustible, brick flooring is also the perfect choice underneath living room fireplaces.

Foyer/entry hall

Being a high-traffic area near your home's entrance, there's barely another room more suited to brick flooring than the foyer: an area that demands visual impact while downplaying dirt tracked in from outside. Brick floor tiles are also virtually slip-proof, so there's no need to worry about entering the home on a stormy day with wet shoes and hands full of groceries.

Utility/laundry room

Similarly to entry halls, utility or laundry rooms typically open to exteriors and need durable flooring to account for high levels of foot traffic. Brick floor tiles offer strength while providing a statement space filled with texture and style.

Outdoor leisure/dining areas

Brick flooring for outdoor areas is versatile, durable, slip-resistant and requires little maintenance. The timeless, natural beauty of brick floor tiles and their ability to resist weather and fading makes them well-suited to sun-drenched patios and the harsh Australian climate. When paired with a seamless transition into brick flooring interiors, a harmonious connection between inside and out can be created.

Basement wine cellar

Wine cellars are the perfect space to show off brick. Evocative of a rustic Tuscan villa, brick-lined walls and floors of basement wine cellars provides a distinctive charm and inviting warmth in an otherwise dimly lit and potentially cold space. Brick flooring is also slip-resistant – an essential feature when handling that expensive bottle of wine you've been saving!

Stretcher bond

One of the most common bricklaying patterns, the stretcher bond pattern features stretchers set in rows and offset by a half brick. Key advantages include ease and simplicity during bricklaying and minimal brick wastage.

Stack bond

The stack bond pattern is created using rows of stretchers, with each stretcher directly centred on the stretcher below it. The stack bond pattern is often selected to show off your brick's natural beauty with minimal distraction.

Herringbone

Stylish and contemporary, the Herringbone pattern offers a dynamic, distinctive pattern reminiscent of the bone structure of its namesake: the herring fish. Bricks can be laid in rectangles at a 45° angle or parallel to the boundary walls in an alternative pattern.
