Antique Bricks

The revaluation of old bricks can be performed for several reasons. Many of our clients with particularly sophisticated taste choose to recover these building products to renovate the facade or portions of existing masonry: the goal is to preserve the authentic charm of the building, and to make it completely safe. Restoration work of this kind is both dutiful and far-sighted, as old bricks are not prone to lose their value; on the contrary: prestige and charm of handcrafted building materials is enhanced over time. Provided, of course, that such materials are properly preserved and, when necessary, cleaned and restored. Antica Edilizia undertakes expert analysis of antique bricks to determine their degree of strength and structural reliability. This initial analysis is followed by the design of portions of the habitation, with the antique bricks as the absolute protagonists. Subjected to careful workmanship, which knows how to sanitize them and make them healthy, in the service of insulation and structural performance, the bricks thus restored are ready to give life to scenic facades, sublime ancient porticoes and, why not, to give life to interesting games of niches and walls, both external and internal.

The ever-changing veins, dusty colors, and irregular shape are symptomatic features of lived-in products that have known history and know how to preserve it in their essence. Here, choosing to revalue antique bricks means giving importance to the historical and artistic aspect of one’s home, a building of cultural importance, a facility open to the public, or a high-end farmhouse.
