GO’s are guarantees of origin. It means that energy is generated from natural sources, however it’s unknown which source. Vandersanden has the guarantee that it’s green power. Read more about this in the eco-document.
Modern architecture is becoming increasingly popular. And within this style, austere, modern bricks with that little extra are more and more sought after. The trend for a home with character has been set. Brickmaker Vandersanden brings 7 new facing bricks with lots of character and which fit perfectly into this trend.
The new facing bricks are so distinct that they even have their own style range within the product range. The product line has been named "Intense" due to the unique patterning in the bricks. The primary tones in the Intense range are modern colours such as cream, grey and brown. Depending on the light, the patterns on the bricks give a very special, glossy effect.
