THE N70 RANGE :
Where price , aesthetics , and ecology unite .
The Nelissen N70 bricks provide specifiers and clients with not only an aesthetically pleasing option , but one that contributes towards reducing the environmental impact of using clay facing bricks . They are available in a comprehensive range of colours and the sizes are 240x70x40mm , 240x70x50mm and 240x70x65mm .
The reduction in the width of the brick has several benefits :

Reduced raw material usage and CO ² emissions during manufacture .
Less gas utilised per unit during the firing process .
