Some brick formats come and go, but the 230 × 70 × 76mm has held its place in New Zealand’s landscape for generations. It’s the brick that feels instantly familiar，the proportions, the rhythm, the way it settles into a wall with quiet confidence. There’s a reason it’s considered the true NZ classic. This format has earned its reputation through decades of dependable performance. It lays with grace, creates beautifully balanced lines, and brings a sense of enduring stability to any build. Being one of NZ Bricklayers’ most favour, it not just for its strength, but for the way it feels in the hand — consistent, reliable, and unmistakably Kiwi. A style that never dates, a structure that never falters, and a look that continues to define our homes. Honouring this Kiwi tradition, Aubricks brings you the Valley Series:
Product Spotlight — River Series 230 x 119 x70
The River Series carries a quiet confidence. In the classic 230 x 119 x 70 format, it stands slightly taller, giving every wall a longer, smoother visual line. That extra height creates a gentle lift, a sense of ease, a calm vertical rhythm that feels both modern and refined. It is also a brick that rewards the builder. The proportions make it slightly quicker to lay, the surfaces align cleanly, and the overall finish feels deliberate and composed. On the wall, the River Series brings a generous and understated elegance. Nothing loud. Nothing trying too hard. Just a simple, graceful presence that suits the architecture around it. It is no surprise this format has become a favourite across East Auckland’s new modern homes. It fits the neighbourhood’s look perfectly. Fresh. Balanced. Contemporary. A brick that feels right at home. https://aubricks.co.nz/size/23070119mm/
