A curtain of solid bricks that emerges from the plaster and embellishes jambs, brick arches and brick columns.

Fornace Bernasconi produces a range of solid bricks for masonry in various shapes and sizes, standard or custom-made, which are used for building or cladding. To build a small wall, to cover door or window reveals, to enhance a brick arch or brick columns—that is, to construct or enhance details useful to the final aesthetic result.

The reinforced fence (designed for use in areas with high seismic risk) and small arches are used for the construction of parapets, balconies, or openwork partition walls: all finished with a terracotta coping with the right dimensions and proportions. A terracotta coping can differentiate the classic balcony, finish an island, or enhance the entire building.

Particularly suitable for masonry is the Ars Vetus finish, which gives solid bricks the appearance and “flavor” of aged terracotta: rounded corners and a smooth surface guarantee a soft effect capable of harmonizing even in modern environments.

Solid bricks, plinths, L-shaped bricks, small arches, or handmade terracotta caps—elements of a structure that decorate with a warm and refined color, typical of wood-fired baking.

Solid Bricks Fornace Bernasconi

Our brick, being hand-pressed with molds, is always a solid brick, meaning it is full mass throughout.

The handcrafted nature and the creation of wooden molds, which we also make in-house artisanally, allow us to create any shape and size. The examples above are just some of the countless shapes we can produce.

The production flexibility combined with a healthy desire for experimentation welcomes new challenges that often come from customer orders, inspiring our creativity. Solid bricks for masonry: durability combined with the beauty of the material itself give rise to new shapes and finishes capable of satisfying both technical and aesthetic needs.

Our challenge is precisely to create a handmade brick tailored to the customer’s requests: something increasingly rare to find considering the standardization of industrial products nowadays.
