About us
Building with Higher Standards
For more than a decade on jobsites, we learned the same lesson again and again: the standard of a project is set by the materials it’s built with. That’s why Ballaspear exists—to ensure Canadian architects, builders, and homeowners have access to the world’s finest brick, handcrafted in Belgium by Vande Moortel.
We offer a tightly curated products that elevate form, detail, and longevity. Every brick is made with care, designed to weather with grace, and give architecture its lasting presence.
Our promise is simple: no compromises. Only materials that let your work live beautifully for generations.
Materials decide what architecture can become.
We know this because we began as builders. For more than a decade we measured tolerances, set lines, and lived with the consequences of every specification. We saw what failed early, what limited vision, and what stood proud long after the scaffolding came down. That experience shaped Ballaspear’s purpose: to ensure Canada’s architecture has access to materials that belong on the world stage. Products that respect design intent, elevate detail, and protect the integrity of every project. When the material is worthy of the design, the work achieves its full potential and lasts for generations.
That is why we partner with Vande Moortel in Belgium, a family-owned manufacturer whose bricks are still shaped by hand, fired with care, and made to last a century or more. Their craft represents the best of European tradition, reinterpreted for today’s most ambitious projects. By bringing these bricks to Canada, we give architects and builders a toolset equal to their vision. And if there’s a format, a texture, or a tone you need to realize that vision, tell us—we will work to make it possible.

Our People
We’re a family-run team that lives in the details. We answer the phone, get on site, and own outcomes—because the smallest decisions shape how a building feels for decades.
Our Partnerships
We work with leading Canadian architects and builders on homes and civic spaces meant to last 100+ years. Fewer suppliers, deeper trust, flawless execution. That’s how exceptional work gets delivered.
Our Products
We source and deliver best-in-class brick and masonry from Vande Moortel. Quality is sustainability: materials that age, not fail, spare you the cost and carbon of premature replacement.
