Our Brick Range
The Beauty of Brick, in Every Form
At JK Bricks, we offer a carefully curated range of handmade and machine-made bricks, each with its own distinct character. Whether you’re drawn to the depth and texture of full-size clay bricks or the slim, flexible profile of slip bricks, our collection brings the timeless appeal of Indian brickmaking to modern New Zealand builds.
Each brick in our range is crafted with care — from traditional hand-formed pieces to clean, consistent machine-cut options. Natural colour variation, subtle imperfections, and rich earthy tones give our bricks a unique warmth that adds depth to any space, inside or out.
From feature walls and facades to fireplaces and interiors, there’s a JK brick to suit every project.
Handmade Bricks
Each brick is hand-pressed and kiln-fired in small batches, drawing colour and character from the landscapes of Aotearoa. No two bricks are alike.
Karekare Iron
A deep, moody charcoal inspired by the wild, wind-swept iron sands of the West Coast.
Glenorchy Earth
A rugged, layered blend of alpine moss, riverbed browns, and weathered high-country lichen.
Arrowtown Stone
Sun-bleached tussock, historic goldfields, and warm Central Otago schist.
Rangitoto Smoulder
A rich volcanic terracotta base cut through with the deep charcoal shadows of native basalt.
Clarence Saltwash
A soft, sun-faded blend of chalky cream and pale coastal grey, inspired by weathered ocean cliffs.
Kawatiri Red
Rich, multi-tonal crimson and terracotta with warm, earthy flashing.
Machine-Made Bricks
Timeless Bricks for Modern Builds
Whether you’re building from the ground up or adding detail to an existing space, our range includes full-size handmade bricks and machine-made bricks — each offering a unique finish, texture, and tone. From rustic and weathered to smooth and uniform, there’s something to suit every style of build.
Our full bricks come in a variety of formats, with lengths ranging from 230mm to 300mm, a standard base depth of 70mm, and face heights between 40mm and 110mm, depending on the style.
