Unique Character and Style


These crafted clay bricks are highly valued for their unique character, earthy appeal and individual charm. Developed through years of tradition, they are kiln fired to produce bricks which have distinctive colour and textural variations.

Just like the magnificent wide-ranging beauty of Tasmania, each brick has been created so each double-face is inherently unique in colour and form, but with an extraordinary natural 'reclaimed' feel. Much the same as the weathered landscapes that inspired this collection, these bricks will delight for generations to come.

With their highly textured face and complex multi layered colouring, the unique attributes of the Traditional premium bricks offer real individuality and distinction. The discerning architect, premium builder and sophisticated homeowner will appreciate their authentic, individual appearance.

This range echoes the iconic Hawthorn brick that gives so many of Melbourne's historic inner city homes their distinct character.

Daniel Robertson

The story of Daniel Robertson begins in 1853 when John Robertson imported Welsh roofing slates as ballast in sailing ships into Melbourne.

He was soon providing all forms of roofing, including terracotta tiles, across his newly adopted hometown and in 1910 the company commenced its first manufacturing venture producing concrete roof tiles in Whiteman Street, South Melbourne.

To this day, many of Melbourne's most notable buildings still feature those original Daniel Robertson roofs. But it wasn't until 1928 that the company sealed its reputation for quality craftsmanship after acquiring Tunstall Brickworks in Nunawading and converting it for the production of terracotta tiles.

The transistion to red clay products proved extremely successful and business grew rapidly. By 1967 the company was a leader in the field, researching and developing new colours, shapes and textures.

In that same year, it launched a unique range of rustic bricks as an alternative to the smooth-faced options only available at the time. They were an instant hit.

Demand for this new product soon became so great that roof tile production was phased out within two years to focus on manufacturing bricks.

In 2012 Australia's largest building products manufacturer Brickworks Building Products group acquired the company. Under this well respected banner, Daniel Robertson continues to deliver excellence and innovation in architectural brickwork.

There are simply no better premium quality bricks available today.
