Buff Double Cant Bricks 70mm (New Handmade)

Buff Double Cant Bricks are a timeless choice for projects requiring character and charm. These handmade bricks replicate the look of reclaimed materials, offering a pre-weathered buff finish with an authentic aged patina. Their surface features slight cracks and natural colour variations, ranging from dark brown to bronze. Crafted using traditional techniques, these bricks bring history and style to both heritage restorations and contemporary designs.

Clay bricks, like these Buff Double Cant Bricks, a staple of construction for thousands of years, have a fascinating history. Early, sun-dried, bricks developed into fired clay bricks. This became the preferred method due to its superior strength and durability. Artisans shaped clay in wooden moulds, then fired the bricks in kilns to achieve their desired hardness. The clay’s mineral content and firing temperature determined the final colour, ranging from red and buff to darker hues. Today, these techniques create handmade bricks that reflect the craftsmanship of earlier times.

A double cant brick, like the Buff Double Cant Brick, is specifically designed for angled transitions. It features two chamfered edges, allowing for neat and precise finishes in corners or step work. This design contrasts with a double bullnose brick, which has two rounded edges for softer, more curved transitions. While double bullnose bricks excel in creating smooth contours, double cant bricks provide sharp, clean lines, making them ideal for projects requiring defined geometry.

Adaptable Practicality

Buff Double Cant Bricks are incredibly versatile and suitable for many uses. Their chamfered edges make them perfect for creating decorative detailing on walls, pillars, and archways. They are also commonly used for garden steps, edging, and boundary walls, adding a polished and professional finish to outdoor spaces. These bricks can seamlessly blend into heritage properties or enhance modern designs with their rustic character and uniformity.

Measuring 215mm long, 100mm wide, and 70mm high, Buff Double Cant Bricks are practical and easy to work with. Their weathered appearance and natural tones add warmth and depth to any project. Whether restoring a period property, building a contemporary garden feature, or designing unique architectural details, these bricks provide an excellent combination of form and function.

Add classic beauty and character to your next project with these Buff Bricks. Their craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal will enhance any design.
