Cheshire Pre-War Dual Faced Brick
Introductory Statement
The Cheshire Pre-War Brick is a solid, wire-cut facing brick
manufactured to replicate the authentic look and character of traditional
pre-war masonry. Compatible with both new build and restoration projects, it
offers a timeless aesthetic with modern performance standards.
In the Weathered Dual Faced brick, one face and header are
produced as a clean finish and the other faces include tonal weathering and
banding, enabling on-site blending
Product Benefits
- The
slight colour variation replicates bricks historically found in Victorian and
interwar buildings, offering a great match for restoration work
- As this
product is the dual faced version of a pre-war brick it allows you to show
either the weathered face, clean face or you can blend/mix to suit design
- Due
to the compressive strength and frost resistance, the cheshire prewar
preforms reliably in structural masonry
- The 75mm
finish size, makes the alignment with lintels and blockwork easier
- Cheshire
Prewar are resistant to environmental degradation due to its low water
consumption
- The
variation in colours and having a weathered face as an option help with
blending brickwork or matching to an existing masonry
Applications & Versatility
- Ideal
for repairs or extensions to prewar and Victorian buildings where it is
important to match to the original masonry
- Used
in new homes that are built with classic brick aesthetic
- Great
for exposed brickwork (chimneys, feature walls) where the texture and
colour add visual effect
- Use
the dual-faced version to alternate clean and weathered faces for aging
effect over time.
Versatility is enhanced by the option to choose between
plain and weathered faces
Additional Information & Practical Notes
- As
these are a natural product it is recommended to mix brick from different packs
to reduce colour banding as some colour variation occurs between packs
- Take
care with handling to avoid chipping
- Use
a pointing style that matches with the look/period of the brick
