There are many several types of bricks. Deciding which brick to use is an
important consideration. The four most common types of bricks are:

1) Engineering Block – They’re not particularly attractive looking bricks but

they are tenacious and solid and so very useful.

2) Facing Bricks – this is a very common type of brick which is generally used
in small or medium sized projects.

3) Reclaimed Bricks – these are normally cheap bricks which you can get from
other areas of the house or other demolished houses.

4) Decorative Bricks – these help to add beauty or add a classy look to

existing brickwork that might look boring to you.
