Stylistic device masonry - the format of the bricks
The size of the bricks dictates in a fundamental part the visual appearance of the masonry. But to reduces the costs, most constructors have used huge bricks in the last years and therefore a lot of bricks sizes got lost. Besides this most brick manufactures are confined to produce only a few common brick formats.
But with our possibilities to produce bricks we are able to produce a lot of different brick formats. We offer you therefor besides the classic sizes the 'Hamburger Format' and the 'Oldenburger Format' nearly gone formats: the 'Altes Reichsformat' and the 'Kehdinger Minis'. Those suit excellent for restorations. We also produce some diverse 'Klosterformate' for special building yards.
Of course you can get common sizes as 'Normalformat' or 'Dünnformat'. In addition we produce also custom-made products.
