Waterstruck bricks have a distinctive soft texture that mimics the faded look of reclaimed bricks but utilises the latest new bricks technology for enhanced performance.
Waterstruck bricks are becoming increasingly popular. Their distinct personality lends them exceptional adaptability, allowing them to design magnificent structures in both modern and classic styles for projects ranging from home complexes to large-scale commercial projects.
UK-Brick offers the best in class selection of waterstruck bricks, with a broad range of colours, textures, and sizes to fit any project.
The waterstruck method of production enhances the raw material, and gives the bricks their distinct aesthetic. The mixture is poured into individual moulds, and after settling, water is used as the releasing agent. The clay, it’s handling, and the water lubricant combine to imprint a unique textural patina on each resulting brick. Technology emulates the hand, and the water creates a finish that cannot be achieved with any other method of brick-making. These are durable, frost resistant bricks, and yet their subtle surface textures create an endearing fragility too. The soil biodiversity encompasses an essential characteristic of how the brick will look. Additionally, each Waterstruck Brick has a unique texture because the moulding and demolding procedures employ water.
In contrast to wirecut bricks, the wet clay is compressed into moulds moistured with water to avoid adhering. Then, the surplus clay is struck off the tops of the moulds, thus the name. Like all other brick manufacturing processes, the last step is to dry and fire the bricks.
This brick-making technique creates a natural texture and a gorgeous rustic finish not achieved with any other brick manufacturing process.
It starts with the clay itself. The properties and structure of the material is shaped by the minerals, flora and fauna that exist within the soil; so the quality and composition of the clay is dependant on region, weather and land conditions. Take Scandinavian clay; with land naturally rich in earth minerals and water, the soil unearths the finest clay particles. With a fine and delicate nature, it behaves differently to any other clay in the world.
A Waterstruck Brick's surface is not smooth but has a subtle roughness.
Our Waterstruck brick collections colours range from black, brown, buff, yellow, red, grey and more.
Regular waterstruck bricks DNF format is 228 x 108 x 54mm. However, if what you are after is a design-driven statement, our linear collection of waterstruck bricks are twice the industry norm (38mm length).
The unique finish can give structures much personality. In addition, our wide range of colours, sizes and textures allows for much customisation – helping you achieve the look and feel you are after. The result is a brick collection consistent with high quality and a sophisticated appearance.
The waterstruck characteristics provide architects with versatile construction material to help achieve the desired look of every project.
Indeed, your project will stand out whether it’s a bold or conceptual, traditional or modern project.
