Its rustic appearance allows architects and developers to create buildings with genuine character while maintaining the quality, consistency and reliability expected from a modern facing brick.
The distinctive tumbled finish softens the edges of each brick, producing the aged appearance often associated with historic buildings and handcrafted masonry. This makes the Olde Barfield particularly popular for barn conversions, restoration projects, country homes, new build developments, self-build properties and house extensions.
