Colour is created through finishes in the production process. With techniques such as engobing and sintering, we control the nuance, shading and depth in the surface of the brick. This results in facing bricks with a uniform appearance or, conversely, more variation in colour.
With an engobe finish, we precisely influence the colour appearance of the brick. By applying a clay slip to the surface, subtle nuances and controlled colour transitions are created that cannot be achieved with the base clay alone.
The result is a refined and consistent exterior wall appearance, where colour can be carefully tailored to the desired architectural expression.
Coal gives colours greater depth and contrast. Light and shadow have a stronger influence on the appearance of the exterior wall, creating a richer and more layered surface.
During the firing process, a subtle vitrified effect develops on the surface of the brick, enhancing this distinctive appearance.
Coal firing creates a vibrant exterior wall appearance with visible nuances and colour variations. The variation between the bricks gives the brickwork a natural and distinctive character.
The dark accents and colour shading develop during the firing process through the use of coal in the kiln.
Flash firing and reduction firing give an exterior wall greater movement, contrast and depth. The irregular colour transitions create a bold appearance that changes from different viewing angles.
The interaction between temperature, oxygen and clay during the firing process creates dark nuances that add extra depth and character to the colour.

Colour, shading and surface texture respond differently to light and viewing distance than they do on a screen. With samples, you can see for yourself how the different colour effects come together.
