Woodfired bricks.
Application
Walling.
Description
These bricks are ideal for the highest end new builds and for conservation work on buildings predating 1850 when the switch to coal as a fuel generally occurred. Natural glazing occurs as a result of wood being burnt at high temperature.
Colours are determined by the location of the brick in the kiln and the firing temperatures they reach. The colour of the brick ranges from orange where the bricks are set at the edge of the kiln and temperature reaches around 900°C, to brown where the bricks are set to the centre of the kiln and the temperature reaches up to 1200°C. The glazing occurs where the bricks are in direct contact with, or are close to the flames.
