Dry-pressed brick
Dry-pressed brick
Clay bricks made with only a small amount of water, and compressed under high pressure which results in a very uniform brick with sharp edges and a surface sheen. They are often used as face bricks, although their fragile edges are subject to erosion due to the high clay-to-water ratio.
