Special Shaped Bricks: Architectural Precision
Standard bricks build the structure, but special shaped bricks (Specials) provide the finish. Whether you need to navigate a sharp corner, create a decorative windowsill, or add a curved edge to a garden wall, these bricks eliminate the need for messy on-site cutting and ensure structural integrity.
At DBM DIY, we stock a variety of "Specials" to help you achieve a professional, architectural look.
Essential Shapes for Your Project
Bullnose Bricks: Feature rounded edges, perfect for soft corners on walls, doorways, or steps to prevent sharp impacts.
Plinth Bricks: Sloped bricks used to change wall thickness or create a decorative "skirting" at the base of a building.
Cant & Squint Bricks: Designed for non-standard angles (like 45°), ideal for bay windows and unique corner details.
Cill Bricks: Specifically angled to shed water away from window frames, protecting your masonry from damp.
Why Use Specials?
Cleaner Finish: Avoids the raw, exposed edges caused by manual brick cutting.
Increased Durability: Factory-shaped bricks maintain their full strength and frost resistance.
Time-Saving: Ready-to-lay shapes speed up your construction process significantly.
