clay bricks
Kiln-hardened building blocks
Clay bricks are rectangular blocks made from fired clay, used as building material.
The term distinguishes traditional kiln-baked bricks from alternatives like concrete blocks or mud bricks.
Clay bricks are valued for durability and insulation: The old factory was built entirely of clay bricks.
The phrase is often redundant since brick alone typically implies clay.
