Lightweight Bricks from PGH Bricks & Pavers 
One constant piece of feedback in the brick industry is "when are you going to make bricks lighter?" PGH has answered that call with the development of our new lightweight range of common bricks. The new SuperLite (standard size) is approximately 20% lighter* than current products, while the schooner size, SchoonerLite, is over 15% lighter.* These products are the first of their kind for the brick industry - that is lightweight and suitable for load bearing applications. The SuperLite version also has an increased fire rating to 180/180/120. The potential for these products from a work safety perspective is very exciting, especially regarding manual handling, which is a major concern for Workcover. Approximately 1,400 people are seriously injured or suffer from illness related to manual handling each year, costing about $34 million a year.** There are several other bricks that will be released in the next couple of months: ScratchLite (for rendering), SmoothLite and DoubleLite (double height) versions.
