EMPave - Sliced Brick Flooring

EMPave - Thin Brick Floors

Brick floors are inviting, warm, and comforting. Used in construction for centuries, brick is a timeless alternative to concrete, tile, or stone. It delivers the perfect balance of distinct personality and rugged durability while maintaining a sense of warm welcome. These characteristics come from the fact that bricks naturally invite us in with a very familiar, earthy, and grounded feeling.

Unmatched Versatility

We can cut many types of brick for you to make a brick floor.

You shouldn’t have to compromise on your vision. Whether you are looking for the rustic charm of reclaimed wirecuts, the sleek lines of contemporary architectural bricks, or the rich, earthy tones of traditional clay, we can transform almost any brick into your custom flooring solution.

By precision-slicing full-sized bricks into thin, manageable paving facings, we unlock endless design possibilities. You choose the texture, colour, and character that matches your style, and our advanced cutting technology takes care of the rest. Your floor doesn’t just look like brick—it is real brick, tailored exactly to your space.

Effortless Installation, Maximum Impact

Usually glued down to a concrete slab or adhered to a fibre cement (FC) sheet, brick facings add flair, colour, and character to any room or patio area.

Achieving a luxurious brick floor tile no longer requires major structural modifications or handling the heavy weight of full bricks. The EMPave system is engineered for versatility and ease of installation:

Seamless Integration

Because our brick facings are thin and lightweight, they can be easily glued directly to an existing concrete slab or securely adhered to a fibre-cement (FC) sheet substrate. This keeps floor levels low and makes transitions to other flooring types seamless.

Transform Any Space

From high-traffic indoor living areas, kitchens, and entryways to outdoor undercover patios and entertainment zones, EMPave introduces an instant layer of architectural flair and rich colour variation.

Character That Endures

Unlike standard tiles, these real brick slices offer a tactile, slip-resistant finish that ages beautifully. It infuses your home or commercial project with a unique character that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate.

Interior Brick Flooring

Imagine stepping into a home that feels instantly grounded, tactile, and rich in history. EMPave brings the raw, natural beauty of real clay indoors, offering a lifestyle upgrade that combines striking visual texture with everyday practicality. Far from just an architectural statement, thin brick flooring infuses your daily living zones with an organic warmth that synthetic tiles simply cannot replicate.

  • Kitchens & Mudrooms: The busy hubs of your home demand materials that can keep up. EMPave provides a highly durable, naturally slip-resistant surface that easily handles the spills, muddy boots, and high foot traffic of everyday life, all while looking effortlessly curated.
  • Wine Cellars: Create the ultimate sanctuary for your collection. Beyond the evocative, old-world aesthetic that beautifully complements timber and iron, real brick flooring offers excellent thermal mass, helping maintain the stable, cool environment your wine requires.
  • Living Spaces: Break down the barriers of traditional zoning. Using interior brick flooring establishes a continuous visual anchor that draws the eye through your main living areas, creating an expansive, architecturally designed feel.

Exterior Brick Flooring

Australian architecture is defined by the blurring of the inside and the outside. EMPave is the ideal medium for mastering this indoor-outdoor flow, allowing you to extend your interior style right to the horizon. By utilising the same authentic brick texture across both zones, you create a cohesive, expansive footprint that celebrates the open-air lifestyle.

  • Weather Resistance: Built to endure the harsh Australian climate, our kiln-fired bricks are completely UV stable—meaning their rich colours will never fade in the sun—and naturally frost-resistant, making them a permanent, low-maintenance choice for brick flooring in outdoor settings.
  • Patios & Alfresco Areas: Elevate your outdoor entertaining. EMPave delivers a rugged yet sophisticated high-end aesthetic underfoot, transforming a standard undercover patio or courtyard into a premium architectural feature that ages beautifully.
  • Cohesive Design: Achieve ultimate design harmony. Seamlessly match your interior flooring to your exterior alfresco areas, garden paths, or pool surrounds, creating a unified, high-impact landscape design that feels intentional from every angle.

Classic Red Brick Flooring & Beyond

Your floor is the largest canvas in your home—make it unique. Because EMPave is crafted from real, premium bricks, it offers a level of design depth and tactile luxury that standard flooring alternatives can only mimic. From traditional heritage charm to sleek, contemporary minimalism, you have the creative freedom to design a floor that is uniquely yours.

  • Aesthetic Variety: Celebrate your personal style. Choose from the timeless, nostalgic warmth of classic red brick flooring, or explore a modern palette of tonal greys, soft creams, and heavily tumbled, recycled-look textures.
  • Classic Bond Patterns: The layout of your brick facings completely transforms the energy of a space. Make a bold, upscale statement with a dramatic Herringbone pattern, opt for the orderly charm of a Basketweave, or lean into clean, architectural lines with a traditional Running Bond.
  • The Tactile Quality: There is an undeniable luxury to the feel of real clay underfoot. Unlike cold, flat synthetic laminates or ceramic tiles, EMPave offers a gently textured, thermal-retaining surface that feels satisfyingly solid, authentic, and connected to nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right flooring is a major design decision, and while brick floors offer unparalleled character, you likely want to know how they perform in daily life. Below, we’ve broken down the most common questions architects, designers, and homeowners ask about the EMPave thin brick flooring system—from installation specifics to everyday maintenance.

If you don't see your specific question answered here, feel free to reach out to our team directly—we’re always happy to help!

Not at all. While real clay is naturally porous, the key to low-maintenance care is sealing the floor immediately after installation. Once properly sealed with a high-quality, penetrating sealer, your brick flooring becomes highly resistant to spills, stains, and dirt.

For everyday cleaning, a quick vacuum or sweep followed by a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner is all it takes to keep your floor looking pristine.

Absolutely—in fact, brick is one of the absolute best materials you can choose for underfloor heating. Clay possesses excellent thermal conductivity and thermal mass. This means it quickly absorbs heat from your hydronic or electric underfloor system, retains it remarkably well, and radiates a consistent, gentle warmth throughout the room long after the heating system has been turned off.

Here are a few tips:

  • Matching grout creates a seamless, monolithic look that softens the grid lines.
  • Contrasting grout (like off-white against red brick) defines each tile and highlights patterns like Herringbone.
  • Earthy grey/beige grout provides a traditional, heritage mortar appearance.
No. Because EMPave is made from genuine, kiln-fired clay, the colour is baked completely through the material. It is 100% UV stable and will never fade, even in direct sunlight.
No. Kiln-fired clay is incredibly dense and scratch-resistant. While heavy furniture should always use protective pads, pet claws and daily foot traffic will not scratch or damage the brick surface.
Absolutely. Its extreme durability and high slip-resistance rating make it a premium, low-maintenance choice for high-traffic commercial interiors like restaurants, cafes, retail boutiques, and office lobbies.
Because the floor is comprised of individual brick slices, repairs are simple. The damaged tile can be carefully chipped out, the old adhesive scraped clean, and a new EMPave slice glued and grouted into its place.
