What are Clinker Bricks? Named for the distinctive sound they make when banged together, clinker bricks are the result of wet bricks placed too close to the fire. The intense heat of coal-burning traditional kilns creates a hard, durable and water resistant brick. Over baking the brick produces rich, warm colors as well that ran the gamut from reds, yellows, and oranges to deep, flash-burned browns They were often discarded, but around 1900, these bricks were discovered by architects to be usable and distinctive in architectural detailing

Modern brick-making techniques rarely produce any by-products, therefore Clinker Brick became extremely difficult to obtain.
