What is Brick inlay?

Brick Inlay is a process where Brick Tiles are cast into concrete precast in an organised manner, giving a concrete building the exact appearance of a Brick building.

Is Brick inlay cost effective?

Brick inlay is more expensive than conventional Brick laying on single and double story buildings, however on larger buildings Brick inlay enables a continuous building process, with the Brick component all completed off site by the concrete pre-caster. On larger buildings (3 stories plus) Brick inlay is more cost effective than brick laying.
