Brick making with a modern twist from PGH Bricks & Pavers

The Masters Collection

The Masters collection celebrates the art of traditional brick making with a modern twist. Named after some of the world's most renowned artists, the collection consists of five products
Da Vinci, Monet, Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh. With their extraordinary texture and timeless beauty, these bricks are squarer with a more regular appearance than their traditional Sandstock counterparts. They are available in the standard 76mm height or the increasingly popular 50mm height.

Brick has long been a popular choice with architects and building designers because it blends easily with existing buildings while offering endless opportunities for individual design. The latest trends in open plan living are easily achieved with brick and there is the added benefit of excellent sound insulation. With a vast range of colours and finishes to choose from, bricks are a versatile designer option.

According to PGH Bricks and Pavers™, a division of CSR Building Products, one of the key influences on the brick industry since the 1950s is that modern building design has significantly evolved in line with the demands of our changing lifestyles.

Michelle Gissel from PGH Bricks & Pavers™ had the following to comment on.

"The once commonplace red and cream bricks don't necessarily suit modern home designs which has lead to new colours and finishes to be developed for the sophisticated design market. Bricks are becoming more feminine and women tend to be the main decision makers with brick purchases. Generally speaking, women are more focused on the colour and appearance of the brick in relation to the exterior look of the home. Our homes make a statement about us. Customers will generally choose a home design that reflects an image of how they want to be perceived. The external elements of the house are paramount to that statement because it's the first perspective they see everyday when they enter their driveway - it's the statement that their family, friends, neighbours and passers-by will make their judgments on."
