Red Brick

superspark

Hi all,

In the process of building a house and looking for red brick for the chimneys, i'm intending to build natural sandstone on the front and redbrick around the windows and doors. I know of Lagan brick and country manor. Does anyone have any ideas or a make of brick they have seen built with sandstone before. Any suppliers in the North East would be helpful.

Thanks

What colour sandstone? I was looking at a red sandstone window surround on a redbrick house today.

Highly recommended is a brick called northumbria dark blend. You won't get a better brick looks wise.. Its an excellent brick with sandstone or quarts. I'm not sure of the company that makes it but I'd say if you googled it you'd get it.

Also when putting the bricks over the windows/doors make sure you buy the strongest catnicks and prop prop prop everthing or they will bow

No problem. I have delt with manor stone before. There good. But also check your local building providers they should have it an could be cheaper.

you should also have a look at the Ibstock range of bricks. They have a weston red which is a ver nice brick. I have used it on a few projects and it has a very nice finish. They distribute through the Chadwicks providers.

I have no connection.
