Narrow facing brick

Narrow facing bricks offer a whole host of attractive benefits compared to their wider brethren; that much we're all starting to realise. Why sacrifice precious space when we can do things differently? Narrow facing bricks allow you to go for a facade that's 6.5 to 8 cm thick, instead of the usual 10 cm. That way, you gain space you can use for insulation instead, resulting in lower energy bills and a better energy label. Alternatively, they allow you to gain extra living and breathing space, much improving your living comfort. When you add all that up, you'll soon realise that a few extra centimetres of living space per wall can genuinely make a difference. And that's before we mention the timeless look narrow facing bricks help you create.

Here at Vandersanden, we're big fans of narrow facing bricks, as this concept is perfectly aligned with our vision on sustainable enterprise. Bricks are a highly sustainable building material. They are made of natural, often recyclable raw materials, such as clay and sand. Barely any waste is generated during our brick manufacturing process, but we do emit CO2. To help reduce these emissions, we are putting our bricks on a diet, as it were. This process is referred to as 'dematerialisation', and the result is narrower bricks.
