Sample Boards for Bricks: Because Picking the Right Brick Shouldn’t Be a Guess

BY : Russell Fairweather

Let’s face it—a brick is never just a brick.

To the customer, it’s colour, texture, finish, feel, and how it looks against mortar. When you’re trying to sell a premium product, handing over a loose brick and a data sheet just won’t cut it.

Our bespoke brick sample boards give builders, architects, and merchants the full picture—combining physical samples with essential technical and aesthetic info in one simple, impressive format.

Why Brick Boards Matter in Sales

Bricks aren’t bought on impulse. Customers want to compare tones in daylight, understand weathering effects, and see options side by side.

Our brick sample boards help in several ways:

Showcase tone variation within a single range
Provide mortar colour comparisons
Include compressive strength, frost resistance, and fire ratings
Add guidance on laying patterns or build styles

Whether you’re displaying reclaimed-look bricks, modern smooth-faced options, or specialist clay and engineering bricks, our boards ensure they’re shown off at their best.

Built to Withstand Heavy Use

Bricks are heavy, and we design boards that can handle them. Our foam PVC boards come reinforced and tested to support brick slip weight, even with repeated showroom handling or site visits.

Lightweight yet strong, they’re made for reps on the road and displays in merchant yards alike.

Make Your Brick Range Impossible to Miss

You can:

Display brick slips vertically or in staggered patterns
Add branding, QR codes or case study references
Show off colour blends and finish options (tumbled, sand-faced, glazed, etc.)

Want to stand out? Opt for shaped boards, textured print backgrounds, or cut-outs to hold additional materials like mortar cards or brochures.

If you’re selling bricks, let your samples do the talking.

Our custom brick sample boards are made to really compliment your displays and help buyers visualise your product in the real world—where it matters most.
