CoroJem clay maxi face bricks
CoroJem maxi face bricks are larger-format clay face bricks measuring approximately 222 × 150 × 73 mm. The larger format can reduce the number of units required per square metre while retaining a finished clay face for exposed walls. They are distinct from non-brand-specific plaster clay maxi bricks, which are intended for more budget-orientated projects where the wall will normally receive a plastered finish.

Maxi face bricks combine the natural appearance of fired clay with a wider brick format. They are generally selected for projects where the completed brick surface will remain visible and form part of the building's architectural character.
These dimensions differ from conventional face-brick formats, particularly in the width of the brick. Maxi face bricks should therefore be specified by their complete dimensions rather than simply being described as ordinary face bricks.
Brick Tile Shop assists homeowners, contractors, architects, developers and quantity surveyors with product selection, preliminary quantity calculations and transport quotations for clay maxi face bricks.
A maxi face brick is a larger-format clay brick intended for masonry where the brick surface may remain exposed. The Corojem maxi face bricks in this category measure approximately 222 × 150 × 73 mm and require an estimated 52 bricks per square metre of net wall area.
A non-brand-specific plaster clay maxi brick is also available in the broader market for more budget-oriented projects. Plaster maxi bricks are normally selected for walls that will be plastered or otherwise covered and must not automatically be treated as equivalent to Corojem maxi face bricks.

The approximately 150 mm brick width affects more than the appearance of the wall. It can influence:
A building designed around a different brick format should be reviewed before maxi face bricks are substituted. The responsible architect, engineer or contractor should approve any changes that affect wall construction or structural details.
The ± symbol used with the dimensions indicates that the size is approximate. Clay masonry products can be subject to normal manufacturing tolerances, so the actual product should be checked before final construction details are completed.
The correct choice depends mainly on the required finish, project specification and available budget.
Plaster clay maxi bricks may be supplied by different manufacturers. Their dimensions, strength, coverage rate, appearance and pack quantities may differ. The Corojem size and the estimate of 52 bricks per square metre should not automatically be applied to every generic plaster maxi brick.
Corojem clay maxi face bricks can give a building a substantial masonry appearance while retaining the natural variation associated with clay products. The final effect is influenced by more than the brick colour alone.
Important design choices include:
A light mortar can emphasise the outline of every brick, while a darker or closely matched mortar may create a more blended elevation. The effect should be evaluated with a physical sample panel before large-scale construction begins.
Colour and surface variation can occur between individual clay bricks and production batches. This variation contributes to the authentic character of clay masonry, but it must be distributed correctly during construction.
For more balanced face brickwork:
Do not rely exclusively on website images when selecting a clay brick. Screens, photography and lighting conditions can affect the perceived colour.

52 maxi face bricks per square metreThis calculation applies to the net wall area and excludes the additional bricks required for wastage, cutting, breakages, brick selection and future repairs.
Round the calculated answer up to the next complete brick.
| Net wall area | Base brick quantity |
|---|---|
| 5 m² | 260 bricks |
| 10 m² | 520 bricks |
| 20 m² | 1,040 bricks |
| 30 m² | 1,560 bricks |
| 40 m² | 2,080 bricks |
| 50 m² | 2,600 bricks |
| 75 m² | 3,900 bricks |
| 100 m² | 5,200 bricks |
| 150 m² | 7,800 bricks |
| 200 m² | 10,400 bricks |
| 250 m² | 13,000 bricks |
| 500 m² | 26,000 bricks |
A building has 80 m² of gross external wall area. Doors and windows account for 12.5 m².
Net wall area:
80 m² − 12.5 m² = 67.5 m²
Brick calculation:
67.5 m² × 52 = 3,510 maxi face bricks
The preliminary requirement is therefore 3,510 bricks before adding the project allowance.
The rate of 52 bricks per square metre is an estimate. Actual consumption can be affected by:
Ask the contractor or quantity surveyor to confirm the final order quantity and an appropriate allowance before purchasing.
The rate of 52 bricks per square metre applies to one masonry face or wall leaf constructed with the relevant maxi face brick.
For cavity walls, calculate each leaf separately according to the product used. Do not automatically multiply the total by two unless the same maxi face brick is specified for both leaves and both have the same net wall area.
The final cost of maxi face bricks depends on more than the individual unit price. A complete project quotation may be affected by:
When comparing products, consider the complete delivered and installed cost. A lower price per brick does not necessarily mean a lower total project cost if the brick dimensions, coverage rate, transport requirements or finishing system differ.

What size is a Corojem maxi face brick?
The approximate size is 222 × 150 × 73 mm. The dimensions should be confirmed before finalising drawings, wall thicknesses and material quantities.
How many maxi face bricks are used per square metre?
Use approximately 52 Corojem maxi face bricks per square metre of net wall area. This is a preliminary rate before adding an allowance for waste and site conditions.
Is a maxi face brick the same as a standard face brick?
No. A maxi face brick has different dimensions, particularly its width. It should not be substituted for another face-brick format without reviewing the wall design.
Does the calculator include wastage?
No. The calculator produces a base quantity. Cutting, breakages, selection and future repairs must be added separately according to the contractor's recommendation.
Can maxi face bricks be used for double walls?
Their use depends on the approved wall design. Calculate each wall leaf separately and confirm the construction detail with the architect, engineer or contractor.
What is the difference between a face maxi and a plaster maxi?
A face maxi is selected for visible masonry, where the brick colour and texture contribute to the finished building. A plaster maxi is normally used where the wall will be plastered or covered.
Are plaster clay maxi bricks also manufactured by Corojem?
The plaster clay maxi products referred to here are non-brand-specific. Their manufacturers, dimensions and specifications may vary.
Are all clay maxi bricks approximately 222 × 150 × 73 mm?
No. That approximate size applies to the Corojem maxi face bricks described in this category. Other manufacturers may produce different maxi formats.
