GIMA Hand-Held Bricks

Girnghuber GmbH

Description

The Old Bavarian hand-hammered brick is about "individuals" made in a traditional process in which each individual brick is hammered into the shape by hand, creating distinctive features in structure, surface and colour. No two bricks are alike, and in terms of quality, it is in no way inferior to machine-drawn, extruded products. Numerous formats and optional custom-made products offer great design freedom.

Three things are needed for a handshake brick or a handshake floor slab: good clay or clay, a dimensionally correct shape and enduring muscle power. The handshake brickmaker beats and presses the clay mass into the sanded mold with all his might, cuts off the protruding clay with a taut wire and carefully shapes the still soft "brick".

Almost all shapes of hand-held bricks are possible thanks to manual production. Here you will find an excerpt of frequently produced formats. Of course, as with all types of products, other dimensions are possible for the property. Please note: Hand-held bricks are not subject to any DIN standard. All measurements are approximate. Hand-struck bricks are manufactured with different tolerances.

More Over

Hand-struck bricks are the most individual type of clinker bricks, as each one is manufactured manually. Most of the time, you will find classic brick colors here.

We manufacture the façade exclusively on a project-by-project basis and therefore coordinate the colour with you personally until your exact idea is met. Be inspired and discover a selection of previously produced colours in our colour overview. Simply order a sample of your favorites or download our textures for renderings.

Technical Information

The traces of this handcrafted production are the special charm of the fired bricks with unique character. In the handshake process, every molded piece can be produced economically, even in the smallest quantities. Therefore, the hand-struck brick is the ideal product for monument preservation in the endeavor to restore in a way that is appropriate to the material and the work.
