Cheshire Pre-War Dual Faced Brick
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 pre-war 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
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
