Bricks. They’re the very foundation of countless homes and iconic buildings, symbols of strength, durability, and timeless appeal. But at Flosa, we believe bricks are far more than just structural elements; they are an essential design language, offering endless possibilities for architectural expression.


In New Zealand's diverse landscape and design preferences, choosing the right brick can define the character and lasting beauty of any project. That's why Flosa brings you a curated selection that goes "beyond the ordinary," offering not just building blocks, but design statements.

The Enduring Charm of Standard Bricks


While our focus leans towards the unique, we understand the enduring appeal of a well-crafted standard brick. Our standard bricks are anything but basic. They form the reliable backbone of traditional and contemporary designs, offering robust performance and classic aesthetics. They are the perfect canvas upon which to build, ensuring structural integrity and a timeless finish that stands the test of time and the New Zealand climate.

A Glaze of Sophistication: Elevate Your Design with Glazed Bricks


Imagine a brick with a luminous, almost jewel-like finish that catches the light and adds an unparalleled level of sophistication to any façade or interior. That's the magic of our glazed bricks. Available in a stunning array of colours and sheens, from subtle mattes to vibrant high-gloss, glazed bricks offer:


  • Distinctive Aesthetics: Create dramatic feature walls, elegant commercial spaces, or striking residential exteriors.

  • Enhanced Durability: The glazed surface provides an extra layer of protection, making them exceptionally resistant to weather, stains, and graffiti.

  • Easy Maintenance: Their smooth, non-porous surface is simple to clean, ensuring lasting beauty with minimal effort.

Artisanal Touch: The Unique Beauty of Handmade Bricks


Embrace the warmth and character that only true craftsmanship can provide with our handmade bricks. Each brick tells a story, bearing the subtle imperfections and variations that are hallmarks of a traditionally crafted product. These unique qualities create façades and interiors with unparalleled depth, warmth, and a truly authentic feel.


  • Distinctive Character: No two handmade bricks are exactly alike, offering a rich, individual texture and tone.

  • Timeless Appeal: They evoke a sense of heritage and enduring quality, perfect for both classic and contemporary designs that seek warmth and charm.

  • Natural Aesthetics: Their organic textures and varied hues blend seamlessly into the New Zealand landscape.

Making a Statement: The Architectural Elegance of Our 500mm Long Brick


For those seeking a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic, our 500mm long bricks are a game-changer. These linear, elongated bricks redefine traditional brickwork, creating sleek, modern lines that are incredibly popular in current architectural designs across New Zealand.


The extended length of these long format bricks provides:


  • Clean, Sophisticated Lines: Fewer vertical mortar joints mean a more seamless, flowing appearance.

  • Enhanced Scale: Ideal for creating a grander sense of scale and proportion on larger structures.

  • Modern Appeal: Perfect for architects and homeowners looking to achieve a distinctively modern and minimalist look.
