Crystal Clear Glazed Bricks

Crystal clear glazed bricks use a translucent coating to give the building’s façade a natural look inspired by the world around us. 

These bricks are returned to the kiln for a second high-temperature firing of the clay. This process helps combine the finely crushed glass to the brick exterior so it becomes hard and impervious. These bricks are available in 36 different shades to suit modern architects requiring a range of transparent colours.

Key Features

Patterns can be created by combining shapes or angles of bricks that, once assembled, create a variety of finishes depending on the chosen style.

Specific shades based on the RAL colour chart can be crafted, in addition to the catalogue of colours.

Glazed bricks are easy to maintain, with their smooth surface making them simple to clean.

Durable and strong due to their second stint in the kiln, glazed bricks have a longer lifespan than traditional bricks and their colour won’t fade.

Product Description

Creative Brick Solutions offers a revolutionary product in the form of crystal clear glazed bricks. This contemporary design element will give any building’s façade a natural look that exudes a sense of nature within the urban environment. By introducing these bricks to your project’s façade, you’ll bring an optical sensation that you can be proud of.

The bricks undergo a twice-fired process in which they are returned to the kiln for a high-temperature second firing. The purpose of this is twofold. Firstly, it helps combine the finely crushed glass to the brick exterior so it becomes hard and impervious. Secondly, once vitrified, the glazing fixes itself to the brick creating a strong bond that gives your building an unmatched beauty.

With Creative Brick Solutions, you have 36 different shades at your disposal – versatile options for modern architects looking for transparent colours for their next project. These bricks not only offer aesthetic appeal but also contribute to ensuring that your projects meet safety standards with their sturdy construction and innovative design features.

Let Creative Brick Solutions help you give new life to your renovation or enhance new build projects with unparalleled style and flair.
