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 Hampshire Red is a fine textured orange/red brick which is ideal for detailing work when used in conjunction with other bricks in the Charnwood range. It is used extensively for cut arches and special brick details.
