Not many Clinker bricks are made in Australia any more. They are expensive. I wondered about the name. it’s the sound they make when hit. I remember hearing sound that as a kid. Yes they are baked at a high temperature making them harder
Thanks. I don’t think many are manufactured in Germany anymore either. The look is not fashionable anymore and for all their good qualities I think energy conservation is a different standard now.
I’m sure you’ve explained, but I’ve forgotten …clinker building??

It’s those specially hard baked bricks, houses built with them do not need white washing or plastering.

All the bricks in Australia are baked in ovens. I haven’t heard the word clinker being used in years

I am not a builder but clinker bricks are baked a bit differently, a bit harder, or so I’m told.

It’s the rather grand chapel of the southern Frankfurt Cemetary. Thanks for having a look.
