Rutherford
Where the Franklin makes a statement of mass, the Rutherford is a study in finesse. The same elemental colour, Aether Grey, gains a new dimension of refinement through the slim format. This brick is designed for architecture that celebrates detail, creating a subtle texture and an elegant, layered façade. A considered choice for understated architectural refinement.
Production
Production process: Eco-smoked. Firing and smoking combined in a single firing cycle in a low-oxygen atmosphere. Lower gas consumption.
Forming method: According to the waterstruck principle, in which the clay is pressed into a mould and released using water alone.
Clay composition
Clay composition: 100% refractory kaolinitic-illitic Westerwald clay of Mesozoic age, blended with iron-rich clay to give its characteristic depth of colour.
Appearance
Colour: Aether Grey, the same elemental colour as the Franklin, given a new dimension by the slimmer format
Appearance: A study in finesse; subtle texture and an elegantly layered façade. Restrained architectural poise.
Surface texture: Characteristic waterstruck structure with fine linear markings; the slender proportion accentuates the horizontal lines; the water used as a release agent remains visible in the surface
Finish: Matt
