These reclaimed handmade equilateral squint bricks bring character, history and practicality to both restoration and modern building projects. Designed with a precise angled face, squint bricks allow builders to form neat corners and angled features in brick walls. They help achieve smooth transitions where walls meet at unusual angles, ensuring both strength and visual continuity. In traditional architecture, these bricks play a vital role in creating architectural details that standard bricks cannot replicate.

These reclaimed handmade equilateral squint bricks comes from a single location, ensuring a consistent level of natural ageing. They display authentic signs of their previous use, including remnants of mortar, gentle discolouration, small chips and worn edges. These distinctive marks tell the story of decades of weathering, giving each brick a unique appearance. When used in period property repairs, their consistent wear allows seamless blending with existing structures. They restore the integrity of heritage walls without disrupting their original character.

In contemporary projects, these reclaimed handmade equilateral squint bricks add contrast against smooth, new materials. Their aged textures introduce visual depth, breaking up clean architectural lines and adding interest through authentic variation. Beyond their use in wall construction, they also make intriguing choices for path edging or small paved areas. When used externally in this way, a protective brick sealant is recommended to preserve their condition.
