Hand thrown bricks have a subtlety of colour and texture that give new buildings a feeling of maturity and a more mellow appearance. Whether a building is intended to blend with existing surroundings or make a 'statement' in its own right, the choice of colour and texture for handmade facing bricks is of the utmost importance. The wide range of products available from Charnwood Forest Brick Ltd greatly simplifies this process.

The Ashby Red Multi brick has a slightly coarser texture than other bricks in the Charnwood range and displays the mellow orange/red appearance normally associated with the lighter red bricks produced in the Midlands.
