Question 1

How Much Do Plinth Bricks Cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of plinth bricks depends on size, colour, and the supplier. Generally, standard plinth bricks are priced between £1.50 and £4.00 each when purchased in bulk. Special colours, bespoke sizes, or purpose-built bricks such as corner or header bricks may attract slightly higher prices. For larger projects, opting for bulk orders or sets often results in better discounts, making them an economical choice for boundary walls, fencing, and foundation support. Always compare prices from trusted suppliers to ensure the best value for your building requirements.

Question 2

What is the difference between corner and header plinth bricks?

Accepted Answer

Corner plinth bricks are specifically designed to offer structural support at wall junctions, ensuring stability and strength where two walls meet. Header plinth bricks, on the other hand, are used to neatly finish wall junctions or openings, such as doorways and window frames, providing a clean, professional appearance. Both types play essential roles in maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of boundary walls, fences, and feature foundations, ensuring your build remains secure and visually tidy.

Question 3

Can I use different colours of plinth bricks in the same boundary wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes, mixing colours such as red, soft red, and blue plinth bricks can produce a striking, decorative boundary wall. To achieve a cohesive finish, always source all colours from the same supplier or batch to ensure colour consistency and uniform appearance over time. Carefully combining shades can add visual interest and character to your boundary while maintaining structural integrity.
