Red/Brown/Buff bricks

[allthatpebbledash]

Long shot but there’s bound to be someone who’s built a wall of sorts on here with either of the above colours in brick?

 

I’m thinking a red brick would be easier to swallow for the planner due to site appraisals, but brown and buff could be thrown down too.

 

Would people be kind enough to post an image or two of their walls and what brick they used?

 

I find the online edited/filtered images used to sell them aren’t a true reflection, neither are sample boards showing 4.5 bricks laid with no mortar.

 

Currently I’m looking at these options from Wienerberger.

 

Reds

Autumn russet sovereign stock
Oast russet sovereign stock
Mellowed red sovereign stock
Marpessa multi
Jasmine blend
Woodbridge claret stock
Warnham red stock 
Waresley red stock
Olde southwater 
Blue velvet

 

Browns

Pagus brown/black

 

Buffs

Anglesey weathered buff
Weathered gault blend
St Ives creams rustica
PT450 iron
Oakington buff
Marziale

 

As you can tell, need to narrow things down a bit, before looking at other manufacturers.

 

Looking for a nice stock, waterstruck, or handmade brick. Something you won’t see on a Barret house.

We used these Bit random in shape But go well with the wet dash

We are currently a week away from having enough wall built to be able to show you a real world example of a Wienerberger brick if that helps. We chose it from the Bespokebrick company.  https://bespokebrick.com/brick/olde-durban/

 

They are a Wienerberger product, marketed by others under whatever name seems best. I cannot see the exact same brick on the home site directly though.

 

Described as a 'tumbled soft mud'  brick.

@Post and beam I like this brick a lot. How much we talking?

Here is ours. We specifically wanted a mix of red and a bit of buff but not something too modern. Weinerberger Hathaway brindled -71p per brick too!

Bear in mind that the sample board doesn't look quite as Red as reality, but we paid £993/ thousand Ex Vat. I was happy with the price but 71p/brick as above would have been better of course.

Nice. I feel robbed with my £1.36 per brick York “Handmade”. Planning requirement

What brick was that, and any chance of a closer image of the wall in the middle?

 

Also, the second image is great. Looking to have rough render off white and red brick too.

So Weinerbeger manufacture it? Interesting, I wonder what it goes as under their brand. Look forward to seeing the full wall photos.

 

£993/thousand seems in ball park of others I’ve had priced from them, few others have come in £1280 plus. Anything less than a quid a brick is budget I’ve set myself. Will look into this one on the website you’ve given.

Nice brick, even better price! How did you manage such a bargain? Prefer a full red or full buff though.

Interesting, these guys are next on my list to enquire. Would you happen to know if they have offerings for about £1 a brick or less?

I think this is their budget (cheapest) brick but not entirely sure, my builder reckons he might be able to get seconds to mix in to reduce the cost. We’re happy to use seconds as it’s up against a 170 year old brick barn so there are quite a few less than perfect bricks in there.

This is what they look like freshly laid

Did you go for these bricks in the end?

 

They look much better when they have dried out by the way.
