Circular kiln bricks from the
Rhenish ring kiln
Colour and variety of
Gillrath bricks
for the special brick facade.
Circular kiln bricks impress with their special character and unique expressiveness – for a distinctive brick facade.
Let yourself be amazed and inspired.

Diverse & versatile
Surfaces of circular kiln bricks
Smooth
The extruded brick in its classic production is a dense brick with high compressive strength and a smooth surface. As a result of air reduction and salt-firing processes, bricks reflect light very well.
Hand-formed
Our hand-formed cladding has a rustic, textured, and highly structured surface.
Water-struck
The water-struck brick, due to its manufacturing process, has a partially cracked surface with irregular edges, creating a distinctive look on the facade.
Sanded
To give extruded bricks a more matte surface, we can introduce different sands onto the surface. Red sand is especially popular for renovation projects.

Extruded clinker
Vibrancy and shine on a smooth surface
The diverse interplay of colours in these assortments creates a lively facade – a feature that excites. This is particularly evident in extreme-coal firings.
Weight upon request, as this depends on the desired perforation.

Rough surfaces in exciting colors
Combined with different colour shades and the firing characteristics of our Rhenish circular kiln, very special results are achieved.
The lively characteristics are what makes the water-struck bricks unique in both feel and effect.

Architectural highlights with the new XLF format
These bricks can be manufactured utilising the circular kiln-specific coal firing technic and can be refined in the steam kiln.
STP GR 601 Vanilla (VA)
STP GR 601 mit Kohle
STP GR Danzig
STP GR 14 Danzig
STP GR 14/601
STP GR 14/601 Vanilla (VA)
STP GR 14/601 oK (ohne Kohle)
Various mansory bonds, such as the random bond or the stretcher bond, are possible in this format as well.
What are retro bricks?
During firing, the sorting is fired at 1120 – 1140 degrees for an extended period.
These high temperatures are above the sintering point and cause the bricks to virtually melt. During the firing process, they lose their original shape and are sometimes so deformed that they stand out from the wall giving it a 3D effect.
For that special touch
Brick refinements
Coal firings
Special accents
During firing, coal often combines with sand and salt, creating very different characteristics. These are sometimes light, sometimes shiny, and sometimes dark like coal.
Clay slurries
A modern, bright look for your facade
Since it is a pure natural slurry and is applied irregularly, the finished fired product always varies in application and effect.
We offer clay slurries in white, white-gray, and vanilla-white.
Clinker from the steaming kiln
For an elegant gray coloring
Through so-called steaming, based on our product lines »Extruded Premium« and »Water-struck Premium«, we can offer a wide range of differing gray shades, which are increasingly popular.
This creates a more rustic facade, where you can often still see the lath marks from the drying phase.
A facade with a brick foot sorting gives a very special texture and liveliness.
A large part of our assortments (especially all coal-fired assortments) are manufactured and supplied as alternating assortments. This means that both sides may be turned forward.
Facade
Ornamentation
Masonry
has always been a place for decorations and architectural highlights.
The pilaster (from French lisère “hem,” “edge,” “border”), also known as a wall panel, is a narrow and slightly protruding vertical reinforcement of the wall in construction. (Wikipedia)
If you are considering adding a special highlight and eye-catcher to your project’s facade, we are happy to answer questions about ornamentation, protruding bricks, and many other applications.
Högersche layer
We offer two special brick formats for this, one with a 13.5cm depth and one with a 9cm depth. This way, a visible off-set in the masonry can be achieved with the help of shadow effects.
Bricks in
Material mix
Bricks as a universal partner
in a material mix
on and in the house
Bricks are ideally suited for combining with other materials such as wood, plaster, or Trespa panels.
A building with a mixed-material facade appears more relaxed and less imposing.
Due to the longevity of bricks, the effort required to maintain a building is reduced.
