Handmade bricks
Old handmade bricks stand out with a piece of character, featuring clear grains and uneven sizes compared to most molded bricks. They are generally also much older.

Mold bricks
Old (Bezande) mold facade bricks are a slightly younger variant of old bricks, which are often a bit tighter and more dimensionally stable than the well-known old hand-molded bricks; they are often also of harder quality.
IJssel bricks
Old handmade IJssel bricks, also known as IJssels, are known for their beautiful color nuances and their characteristic appearance. They owe this to the clear handmade shape and the relatively small size of about 16x4; we have them in various color combinations and sizes!
Frisian tiles
In our collection of old bricks, the characteristic and nostalgic Frisian tiles are of course also present. We always have a large stock available in various colors.

What are old facade bricks used for?
As the name suggests, facade bricks are primarily used for exterior walls, including the facade of a house; however, our antique chipped bricks are also suitable for interior walls. Previously, facade bricks consisted of a stone block or plate with a decoration. In a time when house numbers did not exist, this allowed people to recognize the house. Today, we refer to facade bricks as (old) masonry bricks used to create an exterior wall. These old facade bricks are fired in such a way that they are resistant to various weather conditions and retain their color for a long time. Due to the differences in firing and the fact that they are handmade, old facade bricks have a natural and beautiful color nuance, which is characteristic of old chipped masonry bricks and adds a unique character. An (extra) beautiful addition to this is the lime veil nuance that often appears on the bricks after recovery. One way to remove this is by (sand)blasting your wall.
Beautiful old facade bricks for a unique look
Every old facade brick in our collection carries a story. By reusing facade bricks, it is not only a sustainable choice through circular building, but it also gives your project an unparalleled charm. Reused bricks have a special look due to the signs of use from, for example, demolition and sorting work, but during the chipping of the bricks, all remnants of mortar and dirt are removed, restoring the bricks to their authentic beauty and preparing them for a second life (in your project?)!
