A historic feel of Brick Veneers.
Stone-Selex-Old-Brick-Distillery
Brick has been used as a reliable building material for centuries. American architects built entire cities with this efficient material. San Francisco, before the earth quake of 1906, was a great example of a completely brick laden city. Their origins have even been traced to ancient China. Throughout their days bricks have inherited a deep historic feel.
Not only are they functional as a product of construction they’re also pleasing to the eye. They can be made into a variety of colours and can be paired with virtually any other building material. This is undoubtedly what allowed brick to stay relevant throughout the ages. Their practicality and simple neat look has helped bricks survive the test of time. In the 20th century new building materials were being used to construct skyscrapers and stadiums, thus bricks gradually began declining in popularity.
In this past decade their has been a revival in the aesthetic look of brick. A perfect example is Toronto’s historic Distillery District. In the past few years it has been completely reconditioned and renovated into a beautiful tourist destination. The colour scheme consists of rich pine green and reclaimed wood chosen specifically to compliment the crimson red brick of the buildings.
Stone Selex offers many different exterior brick veneer patterns. The Old Antique Brick Veneer line would be the best option for achieving the look of Toronto’s Distillery District.
You can choose either the Old Oakville, Old Toronto or Old Muskoka pattern brick veneers. They each have slightly varying hues to suit anyone’s taste. Just match the brick’s hue with an accent colour to achieve tonal harmony. And if you really want to get that authentic historic look Stone Selex also carries reclaimed wooden beams that can really add the perfect accent to the brick veneer.
Take a look at the other Brick Veneer line from Canyon Stone in the product catalog on the Stone Selex website. Feel free to ask any one of our helpful staff about reclaimed wooden beams.
