Rushbrooke Red Wirecut Brick

Why choose the Rushbrooke Red:

The red base tone with hints of orange gives Rushbrooke Red a traditional character that works equally well on period-style new builds, sympathetic extensions to older properties, and modern developments looking for a warmer alternative to flat, uniform reds.

As a wirecut brick, Rushbrooke Red has a consistent, slightly textured face that reads as crisp and contemporary while still carrying enough tactile character to the build making it a good middle ground between smooth extruded bricks and heavily rustic handmade styles.
