Special formats & shaped bricks
For buildings with an unconven- tional shape, the use of shaped bricks for corners with acute or obtuse angles is indispensable.
However it is not only in cor- ners where the use of irregu- larly shaped bricks can be ap- propriate. Ornamentation may also call for non-standard or customised brick products.
In the preservation of historical monuments and old churches, specially shaped bricks have been employed as a design ele- ment on window or gate arch- es. Reproducing these bricks can be a great challenge.
Not only must the shape be replicated, but the same raw mate-
rial and burning colour must be used
to achieve success.
We are also specialised in the production of fireplace bricks.
