What Is Clinker Brick?
Clinker brick is a type of overfired brick that was commonly used in mid-century and early NZ homes. It features a rough, irregular surface and uneven colouration — often giving homes a dark, heavy, and dated appearance. While distinctive, many Auckland homeowners choose to remove clinker brick to achieve a more modern, clean-lined exterior.
