Product Summary

Country Blend are high quality handmade imperial size bricks with predominantly orange shades, blended with soft browns and reds. They have a traditional look and feel because they have been made using the traditional manufacturing technique; that is hand-thrown into individual moulds. Consequently, they feature a traditional creased texture aka "smiles" that one sees in period buildings and reclaimed bricks from the 18th and 19th century.

They are ideal for garden walling where a historic application is needed in your garden's design. These traditional red/orange building bricks are also suitable as a facing clay masonry unit for internal or external use, load bearing or non load bearing masonry structures.

These period-style imperial sized red/orange bricks are historically seen throughout middle England in the ‘Shire Counties’ on farmhouses and period country properties. They have been used all over England to build new homes, extend existing properties and restore listed buildings.
