Clay bricks, being the building materials with the longest history, have been demonstrating continuous dynamism and vitality in today's building and construction industry. Clay facade brick’s unique features and wonderful design flexibility brings endless inspiration to the architects.

In terms of its visual presentation, compared with metal or glass curtain walls, LOPO Facing Brick can exhibit different facade appearances which can be a good fit for architectural surfaces with various masonry methods. Additionally, it can be used in combination with other materials, such as glass bricks to enhance the facade and spatial effect. Whether it is used in modern or traditional style buildings, this product offers architects greater flexibility and freedom.

In modern construction, facing bricks are more likely to be used as non-structural surface skinning. The facing bricks are fixed in the following method: through bricklaying, a brick wall with certain thickness is formed. Then, it connects with the main structure of the building by metal connecting pieces or pre-embedded steel bars and thus come as a whole. The facing bricks could be used as solid bricks or perforated bricks.
