Brick Look
Raw texture, lasting character
Our brick-look tiles capture the rustic charm and raw beauty of real brickwork, blending it seamlessly with the strength and versatility of porcelain. Crafted to transform any room, these tiles bring an urban edge that adds character and warmth, making them perfect for spaces that demand both style and durability.
Our Brick Look tile range
Our brick look tiles are porcelain surfaces that replicate the face, format and tonal depth of real brick, without the weight, porosity or upkeep of the raw material. The range moves across warm reds and terracottas, smoke-stained greys, weathered whites and the chalky off-tones of reclaimed stock, in slim elongated formats that echo a true brick course. Surface texture runs from softly worn to crisply defined, each tile printed and finished so the variation reads as natural rather than repeated. Because they are porcelain, brick tiles in this range hold colour without fading, resist staining and wear evenly underfoot. The look is authentic; the substance behind it is engineered. Our team can walk you through tonal range and batch consistency so a wall or floor reads exactly as intended across a full area.
Choosing the right brick look tiles for the project
The advantage of brick in porcelain is reach. The same character that suits a feature wall can also go to the floor, indoors or out, where genuine brick would be limited by porosity or slip. Consider the finish first, a more textured face adds grip and shadow for floors and exterior use, while a smoother face suits feature walls and splashbacks. Rectified edges allow tighter, more contemporary grout lines, while a softer edge leans traditional. For wet areas and outdoor terraces, slip resistance is the specification that matters most, and we can supply full slip-rating and technical documentation for the tiles you are weighing up. That clarity, the right format, finish and rating confirmed before you specify, is what steadies the wheel on a complex job.
A design language with grounded warmth
Brick look tiles do something quietly powerful, they bring time and texture to a space that would otherwise feel flat. A laid-bare brick wall behind a bar warms a hospitality fit-out; a soft white running bond lifts a kitchen splashback without the maintenance of porous brick. Outdoors, a textured brick floor ties a courtyard to the architecture around it. Laid in a classic stretcher bond, herringbone or stack, the format alone shifts the mood from heritage to contemporary. This is a surface that feels familiar the moment you walk in, like something the building has always had.
Laying patterns and finishes worth knowing
Much of the character in brick look tiles comes from how they are laid and finished. A classic stretcher bond reads traditional and settled; a herringbone adds movement and a more designed feel; a stack bond pulls the look contemporary. Finish then sets the tone, a more weathered, textured face leans heritage and reclaimed, while a smoother, crisper face reads modern and clean. Grout choice carries weight too, a tonal grout lets the brick courses flow, while a contrasting line emphasises the format. Because porcelain brick tiles hold their colour and texture without the variation of fired clay, what you specify is what arrives across the whole area. We can help you weigh pattern, finish and grout against the look you are after.
Why specify brick look tiles with BetterTiles
BetterTiles is an Australian family tile and flooring house, founded in 1961 and sixty-five years in the trade. Our brick look range is hand-sourced from leading porcelain manufacturers across Europe and Asia, curated for the texture, tonal range and durability a specifier can stand behind. Alongside the product we bring samples, technical documentation, and honest guidance on availability and lead times, so the specification holds from drawing to handover. Six decades of selecting surfaces means we understand what a brief needs and where the practical questions sit. Our job is to remove friction and bring calm confidence to the process. Surfaces Redefined.
No, they are porcelain tiles that replicate the face, format and colour of brick. That gives you the authentic character of brick with the durability, low maintenance and consistency of porcelain, and without the weight or porosity of the raw material. Our team can show you samples so you can see how close the texture reads in person.
Yes, which is one of the real advantages over genuine brick tiles. Many in the range are suitable for floors, walls, indoors and outdoors, though the right choice depends on finish and slip rating. We can confirm floor versus wall suitability and supply the relevant documentation for your project.
Many are, particularly textured faces specified with the appropriate slip resistance for terraces, courtyards and wet areas. Because porcelain does not absorb water the way fired brick does, it performs reliably outdoors and around pools. Speak with our team for slip-rating and technical detail on the specific tiles you are considering.
They are typically slim and elongated to echo a true brick course, and they suit laying patterns like stretcher bond, herringbone and stack. Format and edge detail shape whether the result reads heritage or contemporary. We can provide format options and setting-out guidance so quantities and pattern are planned accurately.
Porcelain brick look tiles do not require sealing the way porous brick does, and they resist staining and fading. Routine cleaning is generally all that is needed, with grout selection playing a role in long-term appearance. We can advise on care suited to the finish and the area.
Yes. We can arrange samples and full technical documentation covering finish, slip rating and suitability, so you can assess colour and texture in the light of your project before specifying. Contact our team and we will organise what you need.
