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 Steel Grey facing brick has a dark grey colour that can be used for general areas of brickwork or as a feature brick alongside the range of 'red' bricks available from Charnwood. They are also effective as 'snap headers' in Flemish bond brickwork.
