Buff Plinth Stretcher Bricks- 9 1/2″ Reclaimed

These buff plinth stretcher bricks are specially shaped bricks used at the base of walls to create a projecting course. This helps direct water away from the brickwork above, protecting the structure from long-term moisture damage. Made of light clay, Buff stretcher bricks produce warm yellow tones with subtle orange highlights that suit both heritage and contemporary settings.

These Buff Plinth Stretcher Bricks are reclaimed, showing signs of previous use that enhance their visual character. Expect to find surface discolouration, old mortar traces and minor chips scattered across their faces. This weathered finish works particularly well for repairing period properties, where matching the look of existing brickwork is essential. Their worn surfaces help blend new work into old without looking out of place.

When used in new builds, Buff Plinth Stretcher Bricks offer a softer, more aged appearance from day one. Their warm colouring and varied surface textures add depth to walls, entrances and garden features. The angled face of the brick not only helps with water runoff but also adds a defined shadow line at the base of any wall.

Buff Plinth Stretcher Bricks are also popular in garden design. When laid in sets of three or four, they make excellent feet for raised planters. Their sloped profile channels rainwater away, protecting wood or metal planters from sitting in moisture. This makes them both practical and attractive in outdoor spaces.
