Clay maxi face bricks are larger-format clay bricks with dimensions that differ from conventional face-brick formats. The Corojem clay maxi face bricks represented in this product tag have an approximate size of:
222 mm long × 150 mm wide × 73 mm high
The approximately 150 mm width is an important feature of this brick format. Architects, contractors and property owners should therefore not assume that a clay maxi face brick is dimensionally interchangeable with a standard face brick.
The wall design, foundations, damp-proofing, lintels, wall ties, cavity details, window reveals and door openings should all be planned around the actual brick dimensions and the approved building specification.
Clay maxi face bricks are selected where the brick surface is intended to contribute to the finished architectural appearance. As genuine clay products, the bricks may display natural colour, shade and surface variations between individual units and production batches.

Corojem clay maxi face bricks should be treated as a distinct brick format. Although the approximate length and height may appear similar to certain face bricks, the 150 mm width affects the overall wall thickness and construction details.
The main differences to consider include:
Construction drawings should identify the actual brick format rather than referring only to “face brick”. If a project was originally designed around another brick size, the architect, engineer or contractor should review the design before substituting a clay maxi brick.
A clay maxi face brick and a plaster clay maxi brick serve different aesthetic and budget requirements.
| Feature | Corojem clay maxi face brick | Plaster clay maxi brick |
|---|---|---|
| Intended finish | Selected for visible clay brickwork | Normally covered with plaster |
| Brand | Corojem | Brand and manufacturer may vary |
| Approximate size | 222 × 150 × 73 mm | Dimensions must be confirmed |
| Appearance | Face-brick colour and surface form part of the design | Appearance is less important when plastered |
| Project positioning | Appearance-focused building projects | Often considered for budget-oriented projects |
| Quantity calculation | Approximately 52 bricks per m² | Use the selected supplier’s coverage rate |
| Product selection | Colour, texture and batch consistency are important | Technical suitability and price are usually prioritised |
The plaster clay maxi brick is a non-brand-specific alternative available in the broader building market. It may be suitable for more budget-conscious projects where the completed wall will be plastered, painted or otherwise covered.
Do not assume that every plaster maxi brick has the same dimensions, coverage rate or technical characteristics as the Corojem clay maxi face brick. Specifications must be obtained for the particular plaster brick being quoted.
Subject to the approved building design and technical product specifications, clay maxi face bricks may be considered for:
The selected brick must be assessed according to the wall design, structural requirements, exposure conditions and applicable building regulations. Product suitability should be confirmed by the project’s responsible contractor, architect or engineer.
The clay maxi format offers several practical and architectural advantages when specified correctly:
Actual construction costs depend on brick price, mortar use, labour, wall design, transport, installation conditions and finishing requirements. Compare complete installed costs rather than the individual brick price alone.
Clay bricks are manufactured from natural raw materials and may show differences in colour, shade, texture and surface character. These variations form part of the appearance of authentic clay brickwork.
For a balanced finished wall:
Website images should be treated as a guide. Photography, lighting and screen settings can affect the way brick colours appear.
Use an estimated coverage rate of:
52 clay maxi face bricks per square metre
This rate applies to the net wall area and provides a preliminary quantity before adding an allowance for cutting, breakages, site handling, selection and future repairs.
Net wall area × 52 = estimated number of clay maxi face bricks
Always round the result up to the next complete brick.
| Net wall area | Estimated bricks before allowance |
|---|---|
| 1 m² | 52 bricks |
| 5 m² | 260 bricks |
| 10 m² | 520 bricks |
| 20 m² | 1,040 bricks |
| 25 m² | 1,300 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 |
Assume a wall is:
Step 1: Calculate the gross wall area
12 m × 2.7 m = 32.4 m²
Step 2: Calculate the door area
0.9 m × 2.1 m = 1.89 m²
Step 3: Calculate the net wall area
32.4 m² − 1.89 m² − 2.4 m² = 28.11 m²
Step 4: Calculate the estimated brick quantity
28.11 m² × 52 = 1,461.72 bricks
Round up to at least 1,462 clay maxi face bricks before adding the project allowance.
No. The 52-bricks-per-square-metre rate calculates the preliminary number of bricks required for the net wall area.
The final order should include an allowance for:
The appropriate allowance should be agreed with the bricklayer or contractor because site conditions and building designs differ.
The rate of 52 bricks per square metre applies to one wall face or masonry leaf using the Corojem clay maxi face brick.
For a cavity wall or construction with two separate masonry leaves, calculate each leaf according to the brick product used in that leaf. Do not automatically double the quantity unless both leaves cover the same net area and both are constructed from the same clay maxi brick.
Structural wall design and cavity construction should be confirmed by the responsible building professional.

This information allows the product quantity, stock position and transport requirements to be assessed more accurately.
The approximate size is 222 × 150 × 73 mm. Dimensions should be confirmed before finalising construction drawings or placing an order.
Use approximately 52 clay maxi face bricks per square metre of net wall area before adding an allowance for cutting, breakages and site conditions.
No. Corojem clay maxi face bricks have a different width and should not be treated as dimensionally interchangeable with standard face bricks. The approximate Corojem maxi size is 222 × 150 × 73 mm.
It is an estimating rate. Actual consumption can be influenced by mortar-joint thickness, brick tolerances, wall details, workmanship and the installation method.
Doors, windows and other significant openings should be deducted from the gross wall area before multiplying the result by 52 bricks per square metre.
No. The calculator provides a base quantity. Add the allowance recommended by the contractor for breakages, cuts, selection and future repairs.
A plaster clay maxi is generally a budget-oriented clay masonry unit intended to be covered with plaster or another finish. These products are not necessarily Corojem-branded, and their dimensions and technical specifications may differ between manufacturers.
A plaster brick should not be substituted where a finished face-brick appearance is required. Confirm the product classification, intended application and building specification before making a substitution.
The face-brick product is selected for visible masonry applications, subject to the product’s classification and the project specification. Correct installation, joint finishing and workmanship remain important.
Natural shade and surface variations may occur in clay products. Bricks should be blended from different pallets during construction to distribute these variations across the wall.
Delivery quotations may be requested for North West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the Free State. Availability and transport costs depend on the product, order quantity, delivery route and site access.
Calculate each masonry leaf separately according to its net area and the brick used in that leaf. Only use the 52-bricks-per-square-metre rate for a leaf built with the relevant Corojem clay maxi face brick.
