Diversity and versatility
The facing brick comes in several forms: solid or perforated bricks, square plates, field mice for fireplaces, and various textures such as smooth, sanded or sanded. It is available in a wide range of finishes, including enameled or glazed for a glossy or matte effect, and hand-cast for a more authentic look. Facing bricks also offer a varied color palette, ranging from traditional red to beige, gray, ocher, yellow, white, and brown.
The technical and aesthetic advantages of facing brick
The terracotta facing bricks manufactured by Terreal in France and Italy have many advantages. They are resistant to humidity and extreme weather conditions, such as heat waves or frost. These bricks also have the ability to return heat to the interior of a building, thus contributing to energy efficiency. In terms of maintenance, they require little effort; a simple cleaning with a broom and lukewarm water is sufficient. In addition, facing brick is a non-combustible material, offering excellent fire resistance.
How to choose your facing brick?
Choosing the right facing brick for your construction or renovation project is an important decision that can have a significant impact on the appearance and durability of your building. Several criteria will guide you in your decision:
1. Aesthetics
Facing brick is available in a variety of colors, textures and finishes. Think regarding the style you want to give to your building. Do you want a traditional look with classic red bricks, or do you prefer something more modern, like a glazed or glazed finish? Hand-cast bricks provide an authentic look, while textured bricks (smooth, sanded, sanded) can add unique visual interest.
2. Climatic conditions
Facing bricks must withstand the climatic conditions of your region. Look for bricks that are resistant to humidity and extreme conditions, such as heat waves or frost. Some bricks also offer good heat restitution, which can be an advantage in cold climates.
3. Durability and maintenance
Durability is a key factor in choosing facing bricks. Opt for materials that guarantee longevity and superior resistance. Additionally, consider the maintenance required to maintain the appearance of your bricks. Terracotta facing bricks generally require little maintenance and can be cleaned with a broom and lukewarm water.
4. The price
Finally, it is the cost of the facing brick per m2 which will guide your choice. It will cost between €20 and €80 per m2, depending on the brand chosen and the characteristics of the brick. It will also be necessary to add the price of labor for laying the facing bricks.
