Common clay bricks are traditional fired clay masonry units manufactured to AS/NZS 4455.1:2008 standards. With dimensions of 230x110x76mm, these bricks are fired at temperatures exceeding 1000°C, creating a durable, non-combustible building material. The rough finish provides enhanced mortar adhesion and is typically used for rendered or painted walls rather than face brick applications.
