Hi all,
I've a need for some 60 bricks to fix up my fire place.
They are a 50mm high x 165mm long x 75mm thick red brick. The house is of 1950 vintage and although not sure I don't think the fireplace ever was intended for an open fire, rather a warm ray or something (no chimney. Just a flue). I yesterday pulled off a cover that was liquid nailed to the front of the fireplace only to find that it covered a huge hole. I now want to rebrick it up or do something so I can install a gas heater without having a huge hole in the brickwork behind it. The depth from the front of the brickwork to the wall is not enough to install a console type heater.
Any ideas?
Thanks
M.

Really need pictures

I have a feeling they are biscuits. Bricks split through the middle out of a standard common.(queen closures) The 165mm is different. Almost a 3/4

Pictures would be good.

Try The Brick Pit

Thanks for the input peoples,
I'll try and get a photo of them soon. Need batteries for my Cam. I believe they are a brickette.
I've tried the brick pit and the others on the 2nd hand link. All no good. Pavers will probably be closer. Although they will not match the textured face.
Cheers.
