Old Forge - Clay Facing Brick
Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
A facing brick with the look of recovered stone in red, beige and white shades, and a sanded-coated and grained structure.
Application
Brickwork applications.
Description
The raw materials are excavated in Weichsel loam layers, the local loam of Aeolian origin dating from the Ice Age. This löss mainly consists of a silt-like fraction, suited ideally for the manufacturing of hand form bricks. By using specific sand types for surface covering, the desired colour is achieved.
Features and benefits:
- Hand-formed stock brick.
- Multi-shade.
- Red base colour with beige and white variations.
- Aged: the recovered-stone look achieved by tumbling before baking.
Also available as brick slips; consult manufacturer for details.
