Laid Bricks or Precast – Which is Best?

Which is the better option for a perimeter wall?

There are differences between the two that you need to consider when making your choice.  Laid Bricks, or Precast?

Traditional bricks walls are made of clay, and though sturdy, it has a tendency to crumble when pushed upon continuously.

Each brick must be laid individually, so takes a long time to build, and a lot of labour.

Bricks are also subject to moisture damage, and therefore not a really suitable option for retaining walls, especially in moist climates.

The upkeep on a brick wall can, over a period of time, be financially draining.

Precast walls, on the other hand, are far more durable, and resistant to mould, fire, termites, and other natural hazards.

Very little maintenance is needed to keep them looking aesthetically pleasing as well as strong and durable.
They are quick to put up, so therefore are the cost effective option.

The concrete walls are also reinforced to last far longer without any maintenance needed for cracking or crumbling, and are a far less expensive choice in the long run.

The precast brick wall is manufactured using our custom moulds, and, combined with an exclusive colouring system, creates a superb finished wall for your property.
