Bricks
One of the oldest building materials, brick is based on a mix of clay with silt and sand pressed in moulds and then burned in a kiln, which gives the characteristic slightly glazed finish. Standard brick sizes vary from country to country and over the years. In mainland Europe, for example, bricks are often more slender than those commonly used in the USA and Britain.
