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.
