In our article, where we have named History and evolution of full bricks of other European countries where we focused on the full brick, which is the main construction material since the year 1964. Since the year 1964, many other products were created which replaced bricks in some parts of the constructions and buildings. I also named variations types in individual states of Europe. I focused on the progress up to nowadays. The history of brick reaches up to the year 8300 BC. During the period of 10000 years, the brick has been the main construction material. It made its breakthrough in constructing of vertical constructions. Wars in the medieval times, destruction and burning of wood structures made extreme progress/development among brick buildings and constructions. It made constructional expansive possible from low one-story buildings to many story buildings. The brick was also able to unite functionally and esthetic. The brick is able to resist many centuries. It is recyclable, without any health dangers, anti-allergic, none fire able, chemically resistant. The brick became the basic constructional point since the19th century until now. It has been used on many vertical buildings which resist to all weather conditions, full-fill esthetical and functional work.
