The unique elegance of the water-struck surface in 36 exciting colours combined with the proven strength of the clinker bricks opens up some impressive new possibilities in facade design. Here, Vandersanden combines the extravagant look of the water-struck finish with the high-performance material characteristics of the clinker bricks. With a maximum water absorption of 6 percent, the high levels of compressive strength and frost resistance, these new clinker bricks are ideal for demanding facade projects.
The surface of the water-struck bricks acts as the canvas for the typical range of breathtaking visual effects – with durable colour retention that means its original splendour lasts for generations. Modified clay mixtures and a carefully tailored firing process lead to the highest levels of material stability, and all while fully maintaining the characteristic uniqueness of each individual brick. Moreover, a closed water circuit and the consistent reuse of all clay scraps created when shaping the bricks make this innovative building product particularly sustainable.
