Bricks By Texture

The brick texture you choose during construction can help shape the eventual feel, look, aura, and performance of your building. You can alter a building’s appearance by designing the brickwork a certain way and adding texture variations. This applies to all types of buildings, whether heritage properties, modern homes, or commercial developments. It’s a strategy building experts use to add depth and aesthetic appeal to each property’s facade.

At Brick Wholesale, you can find a variety of brick textures to match your aesthetic and performance expectations.

Why Texture Matters

Brick texture gives a building character and definition. Builders often use texture to lend a specific look to a building. The texture of the brickwork makes buildings appear modern, rustic, or even earthy and welcoming.

Types of Brick Texture Available at Brick Wholesale

At Brick Wholesale, we stock bricks with a variety of textures to suit different styles and building applications. All our bricks come in these popular texture categories:

• Smooth –  Bricks with a smooth texture have an even surface with no lumps, dents, or other definitive features. The brick appears uniform from all angles.
• Light –  A light brick texture can be identified by the slight definition seen on the surface of the brick. It may have some lines, tiny marks, or shallow grooves, or it may look sandy on some surfaces.
• Heavy – Heavy textures have noticeable features on the brick surface. Bricks with a heavy texture often feature deep indentations, bold lines, and other distinct patterns that are clearly visible throughout the brick surface.
• Glazed – Bricks with a glazed texture have a polished appearance, typically achieved by applying a ceramic glaze during the firing process. The type of glaze and firing process determines the level of gloss achieved.

Applications and Design Inspiration

You can associate buildings with different moods based on the textures of the brickwork. Here is how different textures can influence the character of a building:

• Smooth bricks -Have a modern appeal that makes them the go-to texture for city-centre developments and minimalist designs.
• Rough textures – Bring out that laid-back allure of countryside homes and extensions.
• Texture combos – Add contrast and visual appeal to your brickwork.

Texture also determines how bricks interact with other materials. For example, rough brick textures blend beautifully with timber and stone, whereas smooth bricks are a fitting contrast for glass and metal surfaces.
