Hello!
I am currently thinking about the topic of clinker bricks or facing bricks. For our house, we currently have two different offers - one company wants to use a clinker brick (hard-fired) from a well-known supplier, the other a facing brick.
On the website of the facing brick manufacturer, it says that the stone absorbs between 1.5% and a maximum of 8% water and is free of efflorescence-forming substances.
As a layperson, I unfortunately cannot distinguish at all where the advantages and disadvantages lie...
So far, I have only heard that the disadvantage of the facing brick is that it would apparently "effloresce" - whatever that means...
Furthermore, I need an assessment of the calculated price - one provider has calculated a price of €420 / 1000 pieces for the facing brick, the other €500 / 1000 pieces for the clinker brick.
Is that realistic for stones in standard format?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards
Micha
