RA Bricks

RA Bricks — Proudly Manufactured in Gozo

Every RA brick is made at our factory in Xewkija, Gozo, where traditional masonry skills meet modern precision. By combining local expertise with advanced production control, we manufacture reliable, high-quality blocks for every type of construction project — from homes and restorations to large commercial developments across Malta and Gozo.

Each unit is locally produced and certified by independent, notified experts, giving contractors complete confidence that every brick meets the highest European standards for strength and consistency.

Built Here. Built Right.
Local Manufacturing with European Standards

At RA & Sons, we’re proud to make all our bricks and blocks here on Gozo. Every product is manufactured under a rigorous factory production control system and tested in accordance with European Standard EN 771-3 for concrete masonry units. This ensures each brick meets precise requirements for compressive strength, density, dimensional accuracy and fire safety.

All performance results are verified and documented in our official CE Declarations of Performance (DoPs), which set out the certified characteristics of each product. These records form the foundation of our quality promise — transparent, traceable and independently verified.

Independent Certification

RA Bricks are certified by ABIcert S.r.l. (Notified Body No. 1982), an independent authority that confirms compliance with the Construction Products Regulation (EU 305/2011). This certification grants us the right to apply the CE mark to our products and provides engineers, architects and contractors with reliable, auditable performance data.

In practical terms, it means every brick leaving our factory has been independently tested and approved for both structural and non-structural use — delivering the assurance of European quality with the convenience of local supply.

Our Range and Key Specifications

Every project has its own demands, so RA & Sons produces a complete range of bricks and blocks to suit varied building applications. From robust structural units for loadbearing walls and columns to lightweight thermal blocks that enhance insulation, each product combines strength, durability and efficiency.

The table below offers a summary of our principal products and their certified properties, as set out in their respective Declarations of Performance.

Why Contractors Choose RA
Built for Consistency

RA Bricks are classified as Category I units, meaning each batch is tested to ensure consistent strength and precise dimensional accuracy. For contractors, that consistency translates into predictable setting out, faster laying and less waste on site. Every block performs as expected, helping projects run on schedule and within budget.

Designed for Comfort and Efficiency

Our lightweight thermal blocks are developed to improve insulation and reduce overall wall mass. They help to keep interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter, offering practical comfort and energy efficiency for modern Maltese buildings. Each block also holds an A1 fire rating, meeting the highest European standard for safety and performance.

Straightforward Compliance

Every RA Brick is backed by a CE Declaration of Performance (DoP), giving engineers and quantity surveyors all the data they need for technical submissions, handover packs and regulatory checks. Each declaration is aligned with EN 771-3, providing transparent and traceable evidence of quality.

Local Supply and Support

Because all RA Bricks are made in Gozo, contractors benefit from short lead times and flexible delivery options. Proximity to both Malta and Gozo keeps transport costs low and reduces environmental impact, while our on-island team offers direct technical support whenever it’s required.

Tested and Certified
CE Declarations of Performance (DoPs)

Each RA brick type has its own "Declaration of Performance," outlining its intended use, dimensions, density, compressive strength, water absorption, vapour permeability, and fire classification. These documents are the formal proof that our products meet European standards and can be specified with complete confidence in any compliant project.

Independent Verification

All certifications for RA & Sons are issued by ABIcert S.r.l. (Notified Body No. 1982), an accredited organisation recognised under European construction law. Their regular audits confirm that our production methods, materials and testing processes continue to meet the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (EU 305/2011).

For contractors and developers, this means genuine assurance that every RA Brick is manufactured under a verified system of quality control and that every figure we publish has been independently tested and confirmed.
