Velatura Terracotta

Velatura bricks combine the warmth of rich terracotta with an irregular, white wash finish. The softly applied coating partially covers the brick face while allowing areas of natural red clay to remain visible, creating a beautifully layered and time-worn appearance.

Perfectly imperfect is about celebrating character, individuality and the beauty of natural variation. With Velatura bricks, subtle differences in texture, terracotta colour and the hand-applied finish give each brick its own personality. Uneven edges and variations in coverage bring warmth and depth to the finished wall, creating an appearance that feels layered rather than manufactured to a formula. With a softened Velatura face on one side and pure terracotta on the other, you become part of the creative process, choosing the balance as each brick is laid. The beauty lies in those differences: no two bricks are exactly alike, and no two walls need to be either.

Dual Face Brick

So what does this mean, simply, a dual-faced brick offers two distinct finishes in one product, allowing either face to be used in the finished brickwork. This provides greater design flexibility and makes it possible to create a varied, individual appearance using a single brick.

As with all highly varied blends, blending from multiple pallets during laying is essential. The individual bricks can look dramatically different in isolation, but when properly blended across a façade their reds, browns, ochres, weathered greys and darker fired tones come together to create a beautifully balanced and authentic aged brickwork.
This brick can not be acid washed, must be layed clean.
