Traditional Handmade Facing Bricks
Multi Red Brown  

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.

This is a true traditional red multi facing brick with subtle 'flash' markings reminiscent of historic bricks of this type. It has been supplied for many years to projects at Heathrow Airport under the name 'London Airport Mixture'.
