If you're looking for high-quality, environmentally-friendly building materials, look no further than Bison Demolition Melbourne's recycled red bricks
At Bison Demolition Melbourne, we specialise in providing top-quality recycled red bricks to customers throughout the Melbourne area. Our bricks are sourced from a variety of demolition projects, including old buildings, factories, and warehouses, and are carefully sorted and cleaned to ensure the highest quality.
Recycled bricks are ideal for renovations and extensions where matching the colour, size and character of existing brickwork is important. With natural variations in colour, texture and weathering, reclaimed bricks can help new additions blend more naturally with established homes and buildings.
They’re also a popular choice for feature walls, garden edging, paving and other landscaping projects where the character of an older brick can become part of the design.
As a general guide, a standard Australian brick wall requires approximately 50 bricks per square metre, allowing for standard mortar joints. For example, a 20m² wall would require roughly 1,000 bricks, plus an additional allowance for cuts, breakages and future repairs.
Recycled and reclaimed bricks can vary in size between different styles and batches, so the exact quantity required may differ. If you’re renovating or extending an existing property, we can also help you find recycled bricks that closely match your existing brickwork.
Send us a photo, the approximate brick dimensions and the area you need to cover, and our team can check our current stock and help you determine how many bricks you’ll need.
1. Environmentally Friendly Choice
Using recycled red bricks helps reduce waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. By giving existing materials a second life, you’re lowering the demand for new brick production, which in turn cuts down on the energy and resources used in manufacturing. It’s a practical way to build more sustainably and support a circular economy.
2. Unique Aesthetic Appeal
Recycled red bricks bring a character and charm that new bricks simply can’t replicate. Each brick often carries natural weathering, texture, and color variations that add warmth and authenticity to a project. This makes them ideal for feature walls, garden landscaping, or any design that calls for timeless style and individuality.
3. Strong and Durable
Bricks are one of the most durable building materials, and recycled red bricks maintain that strength. Many reclaimed bricks come from buildings that have already stood the test of time, proving their resilience. When used again, they continue to offer lasting structural integrity and reliability.
4. Cost-Effective Building Material
Opting for recycled bricks can be a more affordable choice compared to purchasing brand new bricks, especially for larger projects. They provide excellent value without sacrificing quality or appearance, making them a smart option for both residential and commercial use.
