solid brick

No hollow core

A solid brick is a brick made entirely of clay or concrete without hollow cores or perforations.

The term distinguishes these from cored or hollow bricks, which have holes to reduce weight and improve insulation.

Solid bricks are denser and stronger, used where load-bearing capacity matters: The foundation was laid with solid brick.
