Creased bricks are named due to the unique finish on the brick face, which is specially applied to brick clay before the heating process – the resulting, slightly wavy texture on an otherwise smooth surface appears slightly crumpled like clothing, or mimics the gentle cuts and erosions by water on stone, creating the appearance of a dynamic, shifting building and striking a balance between contemporary, smooth look and an industrial, aged, weathered aesthetic. With a warm, light, rough, grainy, varied mix of pastel, rose and wine red bricks and a creased surface finish, these bricks are ideal for use where a consistent, homogenous appearance is desired, be it on large scale construction projects such as workplaces and factory units, or lower budget, small scale works from domestic extensions, gardens and homes to schools and healthcare facilities. They are well suited to domestic, care, primary education and community building types in all climatic settings provided they are manufactured correctly and to the right specifications with respect to their locale. Preferred for their domestic, human scale, bricks are one of the easiest construction materials to handle and build with when combined and laid with cementitious mortars. Hard-wearing and with excellent structural and thermal properties, they are a popular, efficient, human-scaled material for paving, load-bearing walls, cladding systems, landscaping and interior decorative walls, while a variety of finishes and palettes within the one product can create rustic, weathered, industrial aesthetics increasingly popular in bespoke, contemporary domestic, hospitality and workplace environments practical, perfunctory settings or decorative façades. They can be cut to standard sizes to form a versatile, durable building product, or specially manufactured to suit a variety of angles, curves and unique shapes for decorative purposes on organic forms. Modern clay bricks are manufactured by firing clay in moulds, although this method dates back to ancient Egyptian times. With recorded uses dating back over 9000 years, from its origins as mud and straw adobe bricks, they are popular due to their readily available raw materials, ease of manufacture, low cost, ease of maintenance, basic-skilled assembly and attractive variety of colours, textures and finishes. The joints are filled with mortar and are 5 mm (0.2 inches) in width.īricks are one of the most common materials in architecture and construction. The image represents a physical area of 619 x 708 mm (24.4 x 27.9 inches) in total, with each individual unit measuring approximately 150 x 66 mm. You can download a high resolution version of this texture and a matching bump map or CAD hatch (compatible with AutoCAD and Revit) using Architextures Create with a Pro Subscription.A seamless brick texture with creased brick arranged in a stretcher pattern. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations. This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. A bond with a single stretcher course for every header course is traditionally called an English bond while a bond with five stretchers for every header is known as Scottish bond. A true common bond contains between three and nine stretcher courses for every header course however the total number of sretchers can be adjusted. This texture uses a common or American bond. Like most brick types, buff bricks are popular in architecture and construction due to their durability, standard sizing, and thermal properties. Buff bricks can vary widely in texture, size, and finish depending on the manufacturing process, from smooth to drag-faced or creased. Buff bricks are typically available in yellow, brown, or earthy tones, forming a warm hue suited for residential facades, cladding, or internal walls. The joints are filled with mortar and are 10 mm (0.4 inches) in width.īuff bricks are a specialist brick type departing from the traditional red/brown appearance of traditional bricks. The image represents a physical area of 900 x 900 mm (35.4 x 35.4 inches) in total, with each individual unit measuring approximately 215 x 65 mm. A seamless brick texture with buff arranged in a common pattern.
