Create Range Custom Roman Red Blend

In a beautiful established rural setting, the home houses two strong gable forms wrapping around an existing tree to the north west. The gables are emphasized by flat roofed, brick forms housing the entry and service wing.

Custom made Roman (290x50x70) Red brick walls extend from the ground, anchoring the building to the landscape and bringing warmth to the crisp white gables. A blend of buff through to darker smooth red bricks was chosen to create a timeless and classic setting for this modern country home.

About the
Professional

Canterbury Clay Bricks is a family run business, supplying clay bricks nationally, for commercial and residential builds, since its inception over 50 years ago.  We are the only manufacturer of kiln fired clay bricks in the South Island.

We offer you an impressive collection using rich Canterbury clays, from which we have created a host of enduring finishes and colours that will add style and value to your new home or project.

Canterbury Clay Bricks manufacturing plant is located close to its clay supplies within the surronding hills of Darfield. A number of recycled products are used in the manufacture of the bricks including re-constituted brick and recycled glass. The kilns at the plant run on up to 95% of re-claimed fuels and oil further reducing any impact of manufacturing. We supply nationwide to both residential and commercial projects, new builds and renovations. 

Bricks are a blend of clays and water. The bricks are then formed, dried and kilned to produce a strong and durable end product. They are then hand blended and graded by staff to give a consistent finish.
