It actually comes from the raw material, which can be red, yellow, white, gray, up to brown/black, after it has been fired. The inexpensive option is then painting/glazing/engaging.
Since the other light gray bricks ultimately didn’t appeal to our taste and we were convinced by the structure of the Wienerberger, we switched to a different light color but stayed with the same manufacturer.
Thank you very much for this hint, that of course sounds less pleasant :oops: How long has your neighbor had the clinker installed? I didn’t explicitly choose the clinker because it is so cheap (honestly, I haven’t researched that yet), but because I like the coloring and because it is not a ceramic clinker. Unfortunately, it’s not just about the 30€ per sqm, but also about the additional labor costs. Overall, I was told that using the Aarhus would mean at least an additional cost of 12,000 EUR. Don’t get me wrong. I am aware that especially good often means especially expensive. And in the end, I have to decide myself "which death I die." But since I still have some time before the decision has to be made, I can happily continue searching. Other possible candidates are the Vandersanden facing bricks Rega or Rainbow silver.
