The Classic Red
Great example of the use of our Heritage Red sandstock bricks.

Black Hawthorn
Just a great photo showing the dramatic difference black mortar can make to a brick facade. Here black mortar has been used in conjunction with our Hawthorn Blend bricks. The black really makes the textures pop and the colours more vibrant. #Sandstockbricks #Hawthornbricks #Architecture #Handmadebricks
