The Brick Revolution

Lowie bricks are the result of a research and development program launched in 2019 to find sustainable and affordable alternatives to classic facing bricks. By process of extensive experimentation with different materials, Lowie bricks have managed to preserve the aesthetic and qualitative characteristics of clay-fired bricks, with a fraction of the carbon emissions.

Lowie bricks are a Hybrid facing – neither clay nor concrete, with the key technical properties of both. A radical innovation in production methods, Lowie bricks are sustainable, affordable & authentic.

Sustainable

The revolutionary vibro-press manufacturing process requires no energy-intensive firing. Through natural carbonation, Lowie bricks absorb and store atmospheric CO2 resulting in up to an 81.3% reduction in carbon emissions compared with clay bricks.

Affordable

We believe that real ecological progress is only possible if it is also affordable. Unlike many other sustainable building materials, Lowie bricks come to the market at the same price, or even lower, than soft mud clay equivalents.

Authentic

Using fine and monotone materials coupled with an additional finishing phase, Lowie have preserved the authentic look and feel of traditional clay bricks.
