How to Choose the Right Brick Cladding?
Before selecting brick cladding, consider the following:
Colour
White, red, charcoal, brown and reclaimed brick tones each create a different architectural style. Choose a colour that complements your overall design palette.
Surface Texture
Smooth finishes suit contemporary interiors, while rustic and reclaimed finishes create a more traditional or industrial appearance.
Indoor or Outdoor Use
Always select products suitable for the intended installation area and follow the manufacturer's installation recommendations.
Grout Style
Grout colour and joint width have a significant impact on the finished appearance. Matching grout creates a subtle look, while contrasting grout highlights the individual brick pattern.
Coordinating Materials
Brick cladding pairs beautifully with timber, concrete, natural stone, black steel and glass to create balanced contemporary interiors.
