TBS can produce a unique range of colours of bricks, which can be pre-blended to provide our customers with a bespoke blend for their project.
What Are Bespoke Brick Blends?
Bespoke brick blends are selected bricks from our range of different brick types, to achieve a specific visual effect designed exclusively for the customers new build.
The process typically involves blending various shades, textures, and finishes from smooth to rough and weathered, to produce a product that complements the vision of a particular project.
Unlike our standard brick range, which come in predefined colours and finishes, bespoke blends are developed in close collaboration between the client, architect, and Traditional Brick & Stone. This allows for greater creative control and ensures the result enhances both the building and its surrounding environment.

The Benefits of Bespoke Blends
1. Architectural Uniqueness
Bespoke blends allow designers to break away from uniformity. Whether replicating the look of reclaimed brick for a conservation area or crafting a modern mosaic for a new development, custom blends can match a project’s character precisely.
2. Contextual Sensitivity
In areas with strict planning regulations or historical significance, bespoke blends can help new buildings blend seamlessly with their surroundings. A carefully designed blend can mimic the architecture of neighbouring structures while still offering modern performance standards and visuals.
3. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
The subtle variation in colour and texture across a façade built with bespoke bricks adds depth, richness, and a unique personal touch for each individual project.
