We have the UK's most extensive range of high-quality Waterstruck Green Bricks. Our bricks come in a range of colours, to accommodate to your projects needs.
Colours
Kensington Green — Prime Range, waterstruck (UK format)
A deep green body lifted by a subtle engobe, with a refined waterstruck face for quiet movement across elevations—ideal for contemporary statements or contextual infill.
Deep, design-forward green → Kensington Green for a rich hue and refined waterstruck texture.
UK Brick
Subtle contemporary palette → Green-grey linear options (Ultima) to emphasise long coursing and elegant shadow play.
Expressive multis → Explore yellow/green mixes when you want natural variation with green highlights.
Design note: Mortar colour and joint profile strongly influence perceived tone—lighter mortars heighten contrast; colour-matched or darker mortars read more monolithic.
Green bricks typically get their colour from a controlled finish or surface treatment rather than “standard clay firing” alone. At UK Brick, green tones are often achieved through firing + surface treatments (e.g., engobe shading) to create depth and variation, rather than a flat painted look.
Some green bricks on the market are glazed (glossy, sealed surface), but not all. UK Brick’s green bricks are commonly waterstruck / textured facing bricks where the visual effect comes from the body tone and shading/finish, not necessarily a high-gloss glaze. If you want a glazed look specifically, that’s usually a different product category.
With quality facing bricks, the colour is not a paint layer that “peels off”—it’s created through manufacturing and surface finish. What can change over time is the appearance due to weathering, dirt, and site conditions, which is why UK Brick recommends viewing real installs or ordering samples before you specify.
Green tones are especially sensitive to daylight direction, weather, and adjacent materials (roof tiles, render, landscaping). Textured bricks (like waterstruck) also catch light differently across the face, so the same brick can read more grey-green or more olive/teal depending on conditions—another reason we push samples and on-site viewing.
UK Brick green bricks are most commonly specified for contemporary façades, extensions, and feature areas where you want something more distinctive than red/buff/grey. They work well for statement elevations, entrance volumes, and garden walls—especially when paired with natural materials like timber or metal.
Yes—when you choose the right tone and texture. A textured green with softer shading can sit comfortably on period-style homes as an extension material (especially when you’re trying to complement existing brickwork without doing a perfect “match”). UK Brick’s Prime-range style green options are designed to suit both traditional and modern design directions.
