WE PRODUCE BRICKS WITH DEEP RESPECT FOR BOTH THE MATERIALS AND THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, RECOGNIZING IT AS ONE OF THE MOST SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIALS. ITS DURABILITY ENSURES THAT IT CAN BE PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS. THIS BOOK IS CRAFTED TO GUIDE YOU IN MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS, AIMING TO INSPIRE YOU TO CREATE WITH BRICKS.

1. BRICK BONDS
THE WALL.
BY ARRANGING BRICKS IN DIFFERENT WAYS, WE ACHIEVE DIFFERENT AESTHETIC EXPRESSIONS. FOR ALL TYPES OF MASONRY WORK, THE FOLLOWING APPLIES: BRICKS MUST BE ARRANGED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WALL IS BOUND TOGETHER AND BECOMES SOLID. BRICK BONDS HAVE DEVELOPED ENORMOUSLY OVER THE YEARS, BUT SEVERAL OF THE BRICK BONDS THAT ARE USED TODAY WERE ALREADY CREATED IN THE MIDDLE AGES.

2 PATTERN MASONRY
IN ADDITION TO BONDS, THERE ARE MANY OTHER WAYS TO USE BRICKS TO ACHIEVE DIFFERENT AESTETHIC EXPRESSIONS. PATTERN MASONRY IS A TECHNIQUE THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES FOR CENTURIES. LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD.

3 MIX AND MATCH
THE DANISH FORMAT (228X108X54MM) IS TODAY THE MOST WIDELY USED BRICK FORMAT. ULTIMA (ROMAN FORMAT (468X108X38MM) IS THE CLASSIC LINEAR FORMAT THAT ORIGINATES FROM ANCIENT ROME. THE FLENSBURG FORMAT (228X108X40MM) IS A THINNER FORMAT THAN THE DANISH FORMAT. WITH THESE THREE FORMATS, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. MIX AND MATCH THE FORMATS TO CREATE UNIQUE EXPRESSIONS AND BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
