Plinth Bricks

A simple yet effective detail

One of the most popular detailing bricks is the plinth brick. The plinth brick creates a base for the building and can be designed in many different ways. A wirecut brick with a smooth surface can be used to contrast against a stock brick and tend to be more readily available. When using stock bricks, a 21mm upstand is generally used to ensure a regular straight edge. You can also order plinth bricks with a 9mm upstand, which is more suited to a wirecut product.

Always check your detailing to see whether you are likely to need a wide bed plinth, or standard plinths for a traditional detail. Plinth bricks can also be produced in internal and external returns and in headers as well as stretchers.

Please remember to allow plenty of time for manufactured specials as the process can take between six and twelve weeks.
