Order a test of your bricks
Know the quality of of the bricks in your building due to be demolished
Here you can order a test and quality assurance of your reclaimed bricks.
The bricks are tested to see if they can meet the CE-marking and whether they are suitable for reuse in new buildings.
Please send us as much information as possible about the property to be demolished so that we can give you the best answers.
Please also send pictures of the property as we always need to see both the brickwork and the bricks.
What type of property does your inquiry relate to?
What has it been used for in the past? For example, housing, production, storage, stables, barns, etc.
What colour are the bricks?
How thick is the brickwork?
Single wall
Cavity wall
Solid wall
Test the mortar
By scraping the mortar, for example with a screwdriver, you can see if the mortar is loose and flaking – then it can be cleaned off. If the mortar is completely hard, we cannot clean the stones. Is it a porous or very hard mortar?
Where are the bricks - country / area?
When was the property build?
Det vil være rigtig godt at vide alderen på bygningen og også gerne et estimerede årstal for tilbygning og ændringer.
Has an environmental screening been carried out?
If yes, please send us a copy of the report
Gamle Mursten believes that even the oldest materials can be the basis for innovation. That’s why we invest in advanced technologies and process optimization to maximize recycling, reduce waste and improve the quality of our products.
The number of stones to test depends on the property in question, whether it is a large or small building, the type of stone and its condition. Often the number is between 12-20 pieces, but as mentioned, it varies from project to project.
Even if you do not want to use the reclaimed bricks from your building, demolition can still provide significant environmental benefits and savings in both money and CO2. We offer a circular solution when we upcycle old bricks.
Our environmental product declaration (EPD) shows that you save 0.5 kg. CO2 per recycled brick = 1 ton of CO2 saved by recycling 2,000 bricks.
