Clay Building Products
Clay building products are created from the raw materials which are extracted at quarries. These products are used in the construction of our homes, the business premises where we work and our road drainage systems.
The products created include bricks, roof tiles, sewage pipes and rain wall cladding systems, paving blocks for driveways and decorative terracotta ware. Although these are not essential construction components, they improve the look of our living environment a great deal.
Entry level jobs include positions such as: Production Operatives, Engineering Apprentices and Office Assistants. Some of the work these employees complete requires a reasonably good level of physical fitness. Working outside can be part of these jobs.
Example Clay products:
- Round Tapered Chimney Pot
- 100mm House Drain
- Air Bricks
- Chimney Terminals
- Roof Tiles
