Understanding brick finishes 🧱

The finish of a brick can completely change the look, feel, and character of a build.

There are three main types of brick finishes used for traditional style bricks:

✨ Weathered Finish
A weathered finish is created by applying a weathering solution to the face of the brick. Different strengths can be used to achieve anything from subtle ageing to a heavily weathered appearance.

🪨 Tumbled Finish
Tumbled bricks are gently distressed to soften their edges and create an authentic reclaimed look. Expect rounded corners, textured surfaces, and the character that comes with a rustic finish.

🏛️ Aged Finish
Aged bricks are new bricks that have been treated to replicate the appearance of genuine reclaimed bricks. Techniques can include weathering, tumbling, tinting, and mortared finishes.

As featured on George Clarke’s Beautiful Builds 🏡

We worked closely with Mitch and Elliot at Molecule Designs to supply our Soft Red handmade bricks for their renovation and contemporary rear extension.

The project called for a brick that would bring warmth, texture, and authenticity to the build. Chosen for their rich tones and handmade character, our Soft Red bricks complement the striking arched doorways while adding depth and contrast against the clean rendered finish.

The brief called for a finish that felt considered and timeless rather than overly uniform, with the natural variation and aged appearance of the bricks helping to give the extension real character and warmth.

You wouldn’t buy paint without seeing the colour first, or a car without taking it for a test drive, so why choose bricks without seeing them in person?

Photos on a screen or in a brochure can never truly show the real colour, texture, and character of a brick. Seeing them in person helps you make sure you are choosing the perfect brick for your project.

Book a showroom visit and choose your perfect brick with confidence.

A contemporary transformation of a Victorian semi-detached home

This Victorian semi-detached home in Cheshire has been completely reimagined, transforming a dated property into a bright, contemporary living space.

To ensure the extension blended seamlessly with the original house, our Imperial Blend handmade bricks were chosen to complement the existing property.

Designed by Cadence Architecture, the project brings together modern living while preserving the home’s original Victorian charm.

Understanding the Basics of UK Brick Types

The world of clay bricks can seem confusing initially, but to keep it simple, most of them fall into one of three categories:

🧱Facing bricks – the ones you see on the outside of a building, usually chosen for aesthetic appearance

🧱Utility and structural bricks – used on the areas you typically won’t see or pay attention to, like at or below ground level, or the internal structure

🧱Special purpose bricks – such as air bricks, special shapes for decorative purposes and fire bricks for areas of extreme heat
