Glazed bricks have an impressive range of colors and styles and can be custom ordered in almost any shape or size. The high gloss finish helps protect the brick, while the glazed face helps keep the color vibrant. In addition, they can be matched to any RAL color reference, giving them a visual appeal that is second to none.
Featured in Persepolis
Glazed Bricks Featured in Iran’s Persepolis and Tepe Rabat are an example of ancient ceramics. They were made from yellow-colored lead antimonate and brizziite. Both were incorporated into a white, green, or turquoise glaze. Although the precise mechanisms of their production remain unknown, the simultaneous formation of the opacifiers may have been accidental.
Glazed bricks that depict mythical creatures have recently been found in Persepolis. They were discovered by Iranian-Italian archeologists near the ruins of a monumental gate in the ancient Persian city. The glazed bricks have designs of bulls and mushkhushshu-dragons, two of the most popular creatures in ancient Mesopotamia. They are similar to the Ishtar gate in Babylon at the start of the sixth century BC.
Used in Philadelphia’s Carpenters’ Hall
Founded in 1724, Philadelphia’s Carpenters’ Hall is one of the nation’s oldest continuously-operating trade guilds. The organization specialized in home-building during the nineteenth century and has maintained a presence in the area since that time. Today, the Hall is an important historical site for locals and visitors.
It is located on Chestnut Street, near the corner of 4th Street. The building is set back from Chestnut Street on the south side. Nearby is the National Constitution Center. Despite its location, Carpenters’ Hall is easy to reach via car or train. The 5th Street Station on the Market Frankford Line is also close by. The hours of operation of the hall change frequently, so it is wise to check before you plan to visit.
Durable
Durable glazed bricks offer a wide variety of color and texture choices. They are hand-glazed in California and can be used on walls and floors. They are low-emitting and can contribute towards LEED credits. They come in various sizes and can be custom ordered. The advantages of these bricks include their low maintenance and durability.
Glazed bricks can be used in almost every type of construction project. However, you should be careful about the areas where they are used. Because they tend to be heavier, they require a proper foundation. They must also be protected from excessive moisture, as excessive moisture can erode the mortar joints.
Easy to maintain
Glazed bricks are ideal for domestic and commercial buildings and easy to maintain. The baked clay used in their manufacture makes them resistant to weather and fire, and their glazed finish makes them easy to clean. They are also impervious to graffiti and color fading. Moreover, they do not require any special cleaning methods and do not require a professional for regular maintenance.
