New Year, New Bricks

Brick is a timeless, classic building material which offers charm and an attractive facade to any structure. The enduring popularity of bricks is likely due to their wide array of advantageous traits, such as being weatherproof, low maintenance and available in a variety of tones and colours which make plentiful architectural styles and designs possible.

Although here at London Reclaimed Brick Merchants we are specialists in reclaimed bricks, we also supply a selection of attractive new bricks too. This month, we’d like to tell you a bit about this side of our brick supplies.

Our new bricks

Within our comprehensive stock at our three yards – located in London, Buckinghamshire and Bedford – we have over half a million new bricks ready for delivery or collection at any given time. Our supplies include a variety of attractive, high quality new bricks which complement our extensive range of reclaimed bricks. Our new bricks – such as the Imperial Multi, Imperial Light Yellow, Imperial Sussex/Soft Reds and Glazed Bricks – can offer the same aesthetics of reclaimed brick but are readily available in larger quantities and, generally, for a cheaper price.

Uses

Thanks to the high standard of our bricks, they are very versatile and perfect for use across a wide variety of projects. The charming and diverse appearance of bricks means they are a popular choice for enhancing any space, from stylish interiors to beautifully landscaped grounds, in both domestic and commercial properties. Here are a few ideas of just some of the ways our stock of new bricks could be used:

• Imperial Light Yellow: due to the likeness to the classic London Yellow Stock, these attractive handmade bricks are a great alternative for more expensive large-scale building projects or home improvements which would find it hard to source enough reclaimed bricks.
• Imperial Multi: similar to our traditional reclaimed London Multi Stock bricks, our new, handmade Imperial Multis still offer the same fetching blend of colours and texture. These bricks can work well for brick slips, as well as for creating gorgeous feature walls or fireplace surrounds.
• Imperial Sussex/Soft Reds: the striking, pigmented red of these bricks can make for a handsome building. What’s more, these bricks can also be used to great effect in outdoor spaces, adding style and interest to paving, garden walls and in other such garden projects.
• Glazed Bricks: our Glazed Bricks, which are available in a variety of colours, are perfect for internal feature walls and creating eye-catching designs. With their use in classic hotels, restaurants and pubs, Glazed Bricks can easily create distinctive character.
