Determine the rhythm of your exterior wall with

Formats

With the format of a facing brick, you control rhythm, scale and linear effect. A smaller format allows for more detail. Larger or longer formats actually create a calmer exterior wall design.

By varying the height, length and proportion, the rhythm of the brickwork changes. The scale of the exterior wall and the way lines are visible can also be influenced in this way.

The influence of

formats

Smaller brick sizes create more detailing and nuance in the exterior wall. Larger or longer brick sizes, on the other hand, create a calmer appearance and emphasise horizontal or vertical lines. Brick size also plays an important role in processing, installation and applications such as prefabrication and renovation.
