Brick that is suitable for building a brick ceiling or solid tile roof due to its shape, dimensions, bulk density and compressive strength. In combination with reinforced concrete, the ceiling brick forms the basic building block of this type of composite ceiling. Within the brick ceiling or solid tile roof, the tile fulfils a static function.
Ceiling tiles of brick prefabricated ceilings are generally statically contributing. This type of ceiling tile is able to absorb loads acting on it, which means that it is firmly integrated into the overall supporting structure of the ceiling. Its geometry follows specifications laid down in DIN 4159. The outer shape is designed to form a closed brick surface as a ceiling soffit by means of skirting boards. A distinction is also made between ceiling bricks with fully mortarable butt joints (ZDV) and with partially mortarable butt joints (ZDT).

Ceiling tiles in accordance with DIN EN 15037-3 can be statically cooperating (designation: RR) or partially statically cooperating (designation: SR) as intermediate components of suspended ceilings. Their outer geometry is characterized by so-called noses, through which the brick is hung between the beams. A distinction is made here between longitudinal intermediate components, in which the perforated axis is parallel to the beam axis, and transverse intermediate components, whose perforated axis runs transversely to the beam axis.
