We supply a full range of BBA Approved brick arches, including loose cut, which are supplied to site shrink-wrapped and laid out on a board ready for the brick layers to construct.

An increasingly popular alternative are lightweight, prefabricated arches that can be supplied in either flat gauge or segmental format. These arches are constructed with brick slips bonded to a lightweight backing which are designed to sit on a lintel, and only require on-site pointing.

The third option is concrete backed arches, which offer structural support including stainless steel bearers. This type of arch can be supplied with one, two or three faces and in flat gauge, segmental, double header, bullseye and semi-circular formats, and can include stone if required. All arch types are normally supplied as either 215mm or 290mm high, with 10mm joints and 102.5mm soffits. The preformed segmental arches are supplied with a plastic forma in a colour of your choice.

Benefits of prefabricated arches products include:

• Manufactured in any brick type, and can be collected from your site to guarantee a perfect colour match

• Lightweight, quick and easy to install
