Brick

Durable clay building blocks that form the backbone of Ontario's heritage architecture and modern construction. Canadian bricks are manufactured to withstand extreme temperature variations from -30°C to +35°C, making them ideal for our climate. Quality varies significantly - handmade heritage bricks require specialized care, while modern bricks offer consistent performance. Common problems include freeze-thaw spalling, efflorescence, and mortar deterioration. Professional assessment helps determine whether individual brick replacement or comprehensive restoration provides the best value for your specific situation and heritage requirements.
