Why you should use Australian Bricks for your next project
Whether you have a residential or commercial project – utilising bricks is an ideal way to create unique features, focal points and to add value to your home or build.
The truth is, not all bricks are created equal; quality and longevity are as much a consideration as style when undertaking a project. There’s a reason why Krause Bricks has fostered a reputation synonymous with exceptional Australian bricks, and here’s why:
Craftsmanship & Quality
Over 7 decades, Krause Bricks has remained a family-owned business, with years of experience in the traditional methods of brickmaking that have been passed down over three generations. We proudly wear the Australian Owned and Made badge, having produced brick products in our hometown of Stawell, Victoria since 1945.
Our years of experience, combined with pioneering modern innovations to brickmaking, have resulted in meticulous craftsmanship for every single brick. In fact, Krause Bricks are still handmade for that bespoke touch and premium finish.
The bricks have the uniquely rich clay from the Victorian goldfields (and beyond) to thank for their distinctive textural variety and rich depth of colour – features that create an easy statement for any project design!
Brickmaker Reputation
The unmatched quality of our Australian made Bricks has been officially recognised by many industry awards and favoured by some of Australia’s more revered architects.
The distinctive nature of these bricks stands out the best ways… and it’s safe to say Krause bricks are not just Australian; they are artisan for an exceptional and timeless result, every time.
Stylistic Variety & Brick Range
On offer are a range of bricks for residential or commercial use (indoor and outdoor) which include virtually endless size, colour and textural variations. This ensures every taste preference and home design can be catered for – from classic to modern. For example, Krause Bricks are available in:
Sizes/Shapes:
Small 50mm bricks, Standard 76mm bricks and Emperor bricks (elongated lines celebrated by architect Frank Lloyd Wright) as well as Paving Tiles
Colours/Finishes:
Red Blues, Heritage Reds, Ghost, Smoke Grey, Grampian Blues, Mid Blend, Nero, Apricot, Autumn, Creams, Phoenix Greys and custom ordered glazed colours
Textures:
Clinker Bricks that have been partially-vitrified to produce the variance of a shiny, dark-coloured coating
Tumbled Bricks feature a rounded edge aesthetic and the appearance of beautiful age and character
That’s not all; bespoke patterns via brickwork showcase the beauty and creativity you can achieve in your project. You can use our Australian made bricks to complement, contrast and accentuate specific characteristics in a home/build – such as classic elements, angular forms, and other intricate details.
Sustainable Design
We believe you should feel good about the design choices you make, which is why Krause Bricks became the first Australian bricks manufacturer to offer full carbon neutrality across the full range of products.
Actively reducing environmental impact and waste is part of a full circle process that encompasses the entire lifecycle of your Krause bricks – from the initial sourcing of raw materials, right through to their final delivery.
In partnership with Greenfleet (a leading environmental non-profit organisation), your purchase is carbon offset via the planting of forest trees across Australia and New Zealand. This is exceptionally important for the climate and flora and fauna too.

In addition to the Krause Bricks range being Australian owned and made, we can work with you to create custom brick solutions and creative options to bring your design or build to life.
