Austral Bricks' Elements Series with Contemporary Glazed Finish

Austral Bricks’ Elements Series, which has four distinctive and cool colours, has been welcomed by architects, specifiers, builders and home buyers looking for something distinctive.

So named because of their ability to give a fresh perspective to designs where there are elements of steel, glass, timber and other finishes, the Elements Series has already been specified for major projects.

According to an Austral Bricks spokesperson, in addition to the original Blue Onyx, there was a demand for other types of unique semi-glazed bricks. The company developed the series to give a range of colours for the industry to choose from. Joining Blue Onyx is Zinc, which has a subtle steely blue look with a metallic tinge.

Then there is Graphite with a matt charcoal finish, and Garnet, with a burgundy finish.

Architects are finding the Elements Series enables them to use brick in more contemporary designs. The series of bricks blend well with other building materials in constructions giving a welcome contrast to timber, concrete, steel, glass and paint finishes. Their silk like finishes add a subtle sheen to designs.

The new Elements Series is at the cutting edge, using new hi tech glazing techniques.
