Facing Bricks
Facing bricks are a popular and durable building material that can enhance the visual appeal and value of any property. Compared to engineering bricks, they are designed to be visible and can create a lasting impression, so it is important to choose the most suitable facing brick type, colour, texture and quality specifications to complement the construction needs and design of your building. Considering a frequent widespread use of clay bricks in the UK housing market, one of the most important qualities of a good facing brick is durability and weather resistance. The majority of the facing bricks on our website are very durable and have an F2 category which means they have good frost resistance.
What types of facing bricks are available?
When it comes to facing brick types, there are many options available to choose from. Standard types of facing bricks include wirecut, pressed, stock and handmade bricks, each with unique characteristics. Wirecut bricks are cut from a clay slab and have a uniform shape, while pressed bricks are moulded into shape using pressure. Stock facing bricks are typically made using automated manufacturing processes, but they are less uniform than wirecut bricks. Handmade bricks, on the other hand, are made by hand and have a more rustic and traditional appearance.
What are the most popular facing brick colours?
The colour of the facing bricks is another essential consideration. Facing brick colours range from traditional red and yellow to black, grey and white. Many variations and shades of these colours are available, such as multi-coloured or variegated bricks. The choice of facing brick colour will depend on personal preference, as well as the overall design of the building and surrounding properties.
What is the difference between a smooth and a rough facing brick texture?
Facing brick textures can also make a big difference in the appearance of a building. Some popular textures include smooth, sandfaced, rough, and rustic. Smooth textures are simple and sleek, while rough textures can create a more natural and organic look. Rustic textures add character and charm to a building.
Finding the right brick for your project
Whether you are a property developer building a new house, a bricklayer doing an extension to a residential property, or a homeowner trying to find the right bricks for their garden wall, finding the right facing bricks for your building project can be challenging. The best facing bricks are those that are high quality, durable, cost-effective and match your chosen design and requirements. Brick technical specifications, such as frost resistant and water absorption, play a crucial role in the process of selecting the right brick for your needs. This is why our sales team is here to help you find the right facing brick for your job.
How do I install and maintain facing bricks?
Facing brick installation and maintenance are also important considerations. Appropriate installation and building process are essential to ensure the longevity and stability of the masonry construction. Regular maintenance is also necessary to prevent damage to the bricks from weather and wear and tear.
In conclusion, facing bricks are a versatile and popular building material that can add beauty and value to any property. The choice of facing brick type, colour, texture, and design will depend on personal preference, as well as the overall design of the building. It is important to find the right facing brick supplier and a knowledgeable builder to ensure proper installation and maintenance to ensure that your facing brick project lasts for years to come.
