DF
A brown facing brick with multi-shades of dark brown, blue and anthracite.
Description
The bricks are mainly produced from alluvial clays from the sedimentary region of the river Meuse. The river eroded the Ardennes rock formations and carried along the eroded materials. In the flooded region of the river's lower course, these materials were eventually deposited as sediments. Judicious mixing of the clay deposits produces just the right kind of base material for the production of hand form bricks.
Features and benefits:
- Hand formed.
- Multi-shade.
- Five joint styles available.
