Facing bricks, clinkerbricks and ceramic clinker bricks can be used for facing masonry. They have different water absorption capacities.
Facing bricks
Facing bricks are referred to as U-bricks. They are available as solid and perforated bricks. They must be weather- and frost-resistant. Facing bricks have a greater water absorption capacity. The mass fraction of water absorption is not limited.
Clinker
clinker bricks are first of all superficially sintered U-bricks. Sintering is a process that creates a glassy, dense character due to the extremely high firing temperature during the production of the visible surface. Clinker bricks absorb hardly any water (mass fraction of water absorption: no more than 6 percent) and are therefore very resistant. They must also be weather- and frost-resistant. Clinker bricks are also characterized by their high compressive strength and stand as a synonym for maximum durability.
Ceramic clinker
Ceramic clinker bricks also belong to the U-bricks. They are formed from densely burning clays and fired. They are also frost-resistant and have a mass share of water absorption of no more than 6 percent. In addition, they have to meet special requirements in terms of scratch hardness as well as color and light fastness.
