What It Is

Caprice Baksteen is a fired brick / facing brick brand under the Dutch company B.V. Steenfabriek Huissenswaard, positioned around the slogan “Bakstenen met een warm hart.” According to its website, it is a family-owned business with more than 150 years of experience producing masonry bricks. Its production base is located around Angeren/Gendt, with an annual output of about 75 million WF facing bricks, serving markets including the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and the UK.

Core Features

The website mainly serves as a B2B building-materials showcase and document download portal. Users can browse facing brick product ranges and filter by color, texture, size, Green Line, and other criteria. It also provides CE and DoP performance declarations, processing and installation guides, project references, production-process information, quality-control details, and export information. Its Green Line page highlights sustainable-building metrics such as low LCA, MKI, and NMD values, and presents façade solutions that can be used for MPG calculations when combined with Bruil’s low-carbon mortar.

Pricing

The official website does not publish prices, nor does it offer a shopping cart or online ordering. Multiple pages state that Caprice supplies only through dealers / sales outlets and does not sell directly to individual consumers. Actual purchasing therefore requires contacting Hibin-related sales points, export suppliers, or the company’s sales team. Pricing will depend on brick type, specification, quantity, transportation, and project terms.

Pros and Cons

Pros: the company information is transparent, with complete contact details, chamber of commerce number, VAT number, and bank information. The product documentation is professional and suitable for technical review by architects and contractors. Multilingual pages help with cross-border procurement in Europe, and the sustainability data is presented relatively well.

Cons: the site is not an e-commerce platform and lacks instant pricing, inventory, sample requests, and lead-time information. Some product lists appear to rely on dynamic loading, and the crawled text includes “no bricks found.” Information on certification, logistics, and after-sales support for markets outside Europe is limited.

Who It’s For

It is better suited to architects, developers, façade contractors, building-materials distributors, and project teams that need data on low-environmental-impact brick materials. It is not suitable for individual users who want to buy small quantities of bricks online.

Access from China

Judging by the website structure, it is a standard corporate website with no obvious regional restrictions, so it should generally be directly accessible from mainland China. However, actual procurement would need to account for international shipping, European-standard certification, and compatibility with domestic project requirements. It is advisable to confirm export channels by email first.
