Shadow

Black with a white mask

The (non-perforated) facing brick is sanded on five sides. The surface may be given a frog (a slanted oblong groove) on its bed. The structure looks rugged with fine and irregular grooves. The firing process takes place in a gas-heated tunnel kiln. The facing bricks of the Koloro series have a cement coating. The remarks below may be useful for the correct and successful use in the brickwork.

The subsurface of the brick is distinctly coal black. On the handmoulded brick a light grey to white top layer/coating is applied based on a cement mixtureresulting in a nuanced colour. The base colour can be subtly seen through the cement coating. The colour may change in humid conditions and after drying out the cement coating will get its true colour. The colours shown are a near reflection of reality.

The bricks have a front side and a back side: the tracks made by the conveyor belt may appear on the back surface, and there may be small uncoated areas in the coated surfaces. It is a matter of choice whether the processing is done in such a manner that only the front part of the bricks is visible (recommended), or with both the front or back sides of the bricks being visible.

I would like to see some references of this brick, in my area.
