Updated Specification Range Now Available

26 September 2024 - News

Designed to wow, these handmade bricks are full of character and varying texture, adding a natural, organic aesthetic to any project.

Consisting of 18 blends, the range offers endless possibilities across a full spectrum of colours. Whether a design calls for a nod to the traditional orange of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with detailed brickwork, intricate patterns and a warm, classic appearance, or the sleek, modern aesthetic offered by our cool-toned grey and black varieties. There’s something in this range guaranteed to spark the imagination.

All blends in the Specification Range are available in metric, linear and brick slip formats.

The standard metric brick measures 65 x 215 x 102.5mm and offers uniformity and conformity with building practices in the UK. Standard is not to be confused with boring; endless bonding patterns and the unique characteristics and colours of these handmade bricks can elevate and energise architecture.

Linears have been around for centuries, the Romans loved them. With starting measurements of 50 x 327 x 102.5mm these distinctive, streamlined bricks can have a significant impact on architectural design. Despite their age, linears offer a contemporary look, an increased sense of scale and clean minimalist detail.

From the beginnings of brick to modern methods of construction – architectural facades offer design flexibility, fast-track installation and a risk-free fit, enabling creativity in exploring the beauty of brick in large scale projects. Our brick slips can be fabricated to suit a variety of systems, including cut and groove, GRC and pre-cast concrete. These tight textured, handmade slips bring character, colour variation and charm alongside robust system compatibility that blends a traditional aesthetic with modern architectural needs.

Ruth Hughes, Head of Specifications, says of the expanded range; “We’re very excited to announce the updated Specification Range. It’s designed to help streamline the product selection process for architects, developers, and specifiers. After extensive development, we can now boast the UK’s only handmade offering that is available in multiple formats, fully tested, and capable of being delivered in volume.”
