mperial Bricks has introduced new Restoration Red and
Restoration Oxford Yellow Multi Waterstruck bricks in response to increasing
demand for regionally appropriate variations.
These traditional handmade bricks are made using
a relatively soft clay, with water used as the releasing agent for the moulding
process, giving them a smoother appearance, while still retaining character.
The new additions work well in the renovation of
period properties, extensions, boundary walls as well as high-end new builds.
Bricks vary in
colour and composition across the UK, and Imperial’s range of 50+ handmade,
wirecut and pressed bricks includes options for every region.
The Restoration
Oxford Yellow Multi Waterstruck brick is designed to suit properties found
across Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, East Coast and East Anglia. A standard
version without a weathered finish is also available. The brick was recently
used on a Grade 1 listed castle in Kent for a sensitive repair and
stabilisation project.
The Restoration
Red Waterstruck is suitable for most regions across the UK. “We have a
sustainable supply of both new bricks which are fully tested to BS EN 771-1 and
F2 rated for frost resistance,” adds Jason Hughes, Managing Director of
Imperial Bricks.
“They can be found
in our Brick Matcher app, which offers an on-the-go guide to our complete
range, available for iPhones and Android phones.”
