Traditional Handmade Facing Bricks
Light Victorian Red  

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 Light Victorian Red is a plain textured light red brick that is ideally suited to both 'new build' projects and extensions to existing buildings. This brick blends well with the Farnham and Hampshire Red facing bricks to give subtle shade variations.
