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 medium/dark red colour of the Farnham red brick provides the 'darker' end of the fine textured range of bricks from Charnwood. It blends well with the Hampshire Red and Light Victorian Red facing bricks to achieve the subtle variation of colours usually found in the southern counties such as Wiltshire, Berkshire and Hampshire.
