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 are among the most architecturally distinctive options in the UK Brick range — specified when the brief calls for a clear material statement or a connection to landscape and natural surroundings. The Kensington Green achieves its depth through a controlled engobe finish combined with the waterstruck manufacturing process — producing a rich, deep green with subtle surface variation that avoids the flatness of a uniform colour. Green bricks work particularly well on contemporary residential façades, garden walls, extensions into green settings, and commercial buildings where the green tone references the surrounding landscape. Samples are available on request — green reads very differently depending on light conditions, so on-site sample assessment before specifying is strongly recommended.
Green bricks are more sensitive to context than any other colour in the range. The same brick can read as olive, teal, grey-green or deep forest depending on the direction of natural light, the time of day, and the materials alongside it — roof tiles, render, timber cladding and landscaping all shift the perceived tone significantly. For this reason, UK Brick strongly recommends ordering a sample panel and assessing it on site in both overcast and direct sunlight before specifying. Mortar colour is also critical — a light grey mortar will sharpen the green tone and increase contrast; a darker, colour-matched mortar creates a more monolithic, recessive read across the façade. Contact the team to discuss your project and request a sample.
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.
