Forterra Locally Sourced Rmi Bricks

Forterra’s Repair, Maintenance, and Improvement (RMI) range of bricks offers a selection curated from its Butterley bricks which are produced at its factories in Accrington and Claughton, Lancashire, and in Kirton, Nottinghamshire Renowned for their heritage appeal and authentic finish, the bricks have been used in the construction of notable landmarks worldwide including King’s Cross St Pancras and Battersea Power Station in London

Building upon this legacy, the RMI range is said to combine aesthetic appeal, authentic heritage and superior functionality, making them ideal for renovation projects Furthermore, by producing the bricks at three different factories, the manufacturer is giving customers the ability to source bricks “from right up the street” since each plant’s bricks have an identity and aesthetic tailored to the local area

CEO Neil Ash said: “Forterra’s RMI range represents a significant milestone in our commitment to sustainable and locally sourced building materials. We are proud to offer a range of bricks that not only meet the highest standards of durability and frost resistance but also seamlessly blend into the existing built environment, preserving the character and charm of each location ”

Stonelux Brick Tint Range

Stonelux Brick Tint is described as a high-quality tinting solution designed to enhance the appearance of masonry surfaces such as brick, stone, and mortar It is said to offer exceptional colour customisation possibilities and seamless colour correction to avoid unsightly patches and mismatched bricks while effectively permeating the substrate’s pores, resulting in a “stunning and long-lasting outcome that maintains its incredible appearance over time ” Suitable both for revitalising and old structure or adding “a touch of character” to a new build, the product can also be used for interior as well as exterior applications

Easy to apply with a brush or roller, the brick dye has been developed to ensure a more efficient application that minimises the risk of staining or discolouration of surrounding surfaces and will penetrate deep into the substrate to permanently enhance the appearance of the brickwork n For more information, enter the shortcode www.rdr.link/mav017 n
