Reclaimed Cambridge Plinth Stretcher Bricks 

Traditionally, builders used plinth stretcher bricks to create a clean angled step in external walls, the angled chamfer sheds rainwater effectively away from the building base. Moreover, these versatile bricks work exceptionally well for decorative window sills, step treads, and garden wall copings. Each brick displays rich history, featuring surface discolouration, chips, marks, and natural lichen.

Description

Reclaimed Cambridge Plinth Stretcher Bricks 9″

Enhance your architectural project with authentic reclaimed Cambridge plinth stretcher bricks. Local craftsmen made these vintage bricks from pale Gault clay in Cambridgeshire. Consequently, this iconic buff-yellow clay features prominently in historical buildings across the South East.

Distinctive Colour And History

At time of writing, we offer a small batch of 47 vintage bricks, sold individually. Each brick displays rich history, featuring surface discolouration, chips, marks, and natural lichen. Furthermore, remnants of old mortar remain inside many of the perforations. However, the mortar is easily removed with use of a brick hammer. These weathered details help reclaimed Cambridge plinth stretcher bricks blend seamlessly into period properties. Alternatively, they provide an immediate weathered aesthetic for new build developments.

Authentic And Practical Benefits: Cambridge Plinth Stretcher

Additionally, using reclaimed walling preserves heritage while offering substantial environmental benefits. Reusing salvaged brickwork reduces manufacturing waste and conserves finite natural resources.

Each plinth stretcher brick measures 9 inches long by 4 1/8 inches wide with a 2 3/4 inch depth. Furthermore, every individual piece weighs 3.5 kilograms. We also include one rare matching corner brick at the standard price.

Classic Look, Timeless Aesthetics

Traditionally, builders used plinth stretcher bricks to create a clean angled step in external walls. The angled chamfer sheds rainwater effectively away from the building base. Moreover, these versatile bricks work exceptionally well for decorative window sills, step treads, and garden wall copings.

Likewise, the functional perforations provide distinct structural benefits. The internal holes reduce overall brick weight for easier handling during installation. Furthermore, mortar penetrates these voids to form a stronger mechanical bond. Invest in reclaimed Cambridge plinth stretcher bricks to add genuine character to your property. Choose reclaimed Cambridge plinth stretcher bricks for exceptional sustainability and timeless charm. Order your reclaimed plinth stretcher bricks today before this limited batch sells out.
