Unique colours and sizes
Brickworks Vande Moortel is a manufacturer of bricks, pavers and slips.
Facing bricks and clay pavers in unique colours and sizes. Brickworks Vande Moortel was established in 1864 in the Scheldt Valley in Oudenaarde. Today it is more active than ever at the same location. Under the management of the Vande Moortel family, the company has grown to become an important manufacturer at the top line of facing bricks and a reference in clay pavers. The fact that the business has retained its family style and has remained accessible at all levels makes the company extremely customer-focused. Currently the brickworks produces 95,000,000 bricks per year, destined for markets in Belgium, neighbouring countries, the Scandinavian countries, Eastern Europe and other export markets such as Japan, America and the Arabian Peninsula.
Ecological ECO-7-size-format:
Already 20 years ago, Brickworks Vande Moortel re-dimensioned the classic format of bricks and pavers to an optimised, sleek and ecological format. Through this change, we further optimised the production of these sustainable building materials in terms of raw materials and energy. Moreover, we have been meeting the needs for energy-efficient and sustainable building for a long time.
H2O Natural Clay Paving:
Increasing climate change presents us with a number of challenges. For instance, in recent years we have noticed that a large proportion of paved sealed surfaces can lead to both flooding and lowering of the groundwater level as rainwater is no longer able to penetrate the subsoil in a natural way.
The concept of H2O Natural Clay Paving allows rainwater to infiltrate on the spot. The adapted laying bed and foundations allow the water to slowly drain into the subsoil. This is how we relieve the burden on the sewers and maintain the level of our groundwater. The whole paving system results in a minimum water permeability capacity of 5.4 x 10-5 meter per second.
In this system, you need to use H2O Clay Paving Sand in order to achieve the desired result. It is designed to provide a strong, durable and permanently water-permeable joint filler according to current regulations and recommendations by the Belgian Road Research Centre.
The H2O Natural Clay Paving concept consists of 100% natural materials with a very long lifecycle that are almost completely reusable. For the production of our clay pavers, we make maximum use of local and renewable raw materials (river clay from the Scheldt basin) and we make the soil under our feet more sustainable, as it were. The use of the ecologically optimized ECO-7-size-format immediately results in a 30% CO2-, material and energy reduction compared to baked pavers in the classic format.
