Gray-white clinker, only ceramic?

Maybe as an alternative: tiles. In our city, there are various houses that are tiled. Each one more beautiful than the other. The costs depend on the tile, but it can be quite affordable.

If I were to build myself, I would probably choose tiles instead of clinker.

The pictures are not from my city but from a Google search.

I’m just not quite sure if you are aware of that. What are you even comparing the desired facing brick with, and what do you mean by the more elaborate processing – more elaborate than what?

By more elaborate I mean that the processing of a ceramic clinker brick is (time-) more elaborate and therefore more expensive than that of a normal or even engobed clay clinker brick. I am aware that the ceramic clinker brick is uniformly colored, and that with the engobed clinker brick there can be chipping at the edges when installed, revealing the original color tone. It’s clear that you have to weigh whether that is worth the corresponding extra cost to you... It could have been that someone was in the same situation and found an alternative that suited them...

Be so kind and explain this in more detail.

Please be so kind and explain that in more detail.

According to GU, the mortar adheres worse/later on the hardly absorbent ceramic clinker bricks, so you shouldn’t lay many rows on top of each other or you have to continue on another side in between, making it more time-consuming.

I have fallen in love with a wonderful clinker… Unfortunately a ceramic clinker (Röben Aarhus white-grey) This would not only cost me an extra charge for the stone itself, but also significantly higher labor costs due to the more elaborate installation :-(

I have been searching through all kinds of clinker manufacturers for several days now, but this color tone seems to be available only in "expensive" :p

My general contractor said that light (grey) clinker bricks are currently in vogue, hence my hope:

Does anyone of you perhaps know an alternative to this clinker?:cool:

No, but I used this clinker a year ago. It looks awesome.

Looks different in pictures than in real life.
