The Lowie Brick is a hybrid brick that positions itself between ceramic and concrete. The brick has the aesthetic

looks of a clay brick, but has a similar composition to a concrete brick.

However, the Lowie Bricks are not concrete bricks because of the following reasons:

• The granules of the Lowie Bricks are monotonous and smaller than those of a concrete brick.

• The Lowie Bricks have a finer and more monotonous structure.

• There is a higher degree of moisture transport in the Lowie Bricks.

• In terms of frost resistance and water absorption, the Lowie Brick meets the brick standard, not the concrete brick standard.

• Aesthetically the Lowie Brick looks more like a clay brick than a concrete brick.
