| The
efficiencies of Pre-Cast with the aesthetics of Handmade |
|
Imagine a brick with the unmatched looks of a handmade but with
the speed and accuracy of a Pre-Cast system.
The
majority of pre-cast brick systems on the market today offer a
limited choice of brick surface finishes. If you wanted the speed
& control of a pre-cast system you were forced to compromise
on the finish. Not anymore!
Coleford

handmade process, with the all the advantages but none of the
compromise. Available in our entire colour
range we can produce all the special shapes, imperial & bespoke
size bricks suitable for casting. Our proven products have been
used on many high profile and award winning pre-cast projects
throughout the country.
