🧱🎨 Discover the secret behind brick colors! Ever wondered where those captivating shades come from? At Bowerston Shale, we employ various methods to create a stunning palette:
🔹 Natural Variation: Different clays and shale naturally yield distinct colors. By blending these raw materials in varying proportions, we unlock a wide range of shades.
🔹 Heat Treatment: Using techniques like flashing or gas injection, we apply heat to the kiln. This alters the brick's chemical structure, resulting in captivating color variations.
🔹 Mineral Additives: By introducing minerals to clay and shale, we can achieve beautiful browns, buffs, and grays, expanding our collection of brick colors.
🔹 Surface Coatings: After extrusion, we can enhance the brick's appearance by applying sand coatings and slurries. This allows us to create an infinite array of color varieties.
