Where are brickwork façades used?

The use of bricks in façade construction is on the rise, typically in high-rise residential and commercial buildings and multi-occupancy dwellings.

As a non-combustible material, brick does not contribute to either the formation or the spread of fire, which ensures that the façade itself meets the highest standards of fire safety. Generally, brick façades are used in multiple occupancy dwellings over 18 metres high in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or 11 metres in Scotland.
