I’ve fallen in love with a beautiful brick… Unfortunately, it’s a ceramic facing brick (Röben Aarhus white-gray). This would not only cost me an extra charge for the brick itself but also significantly higher labor costs because of the more complex installation :-(
I’ve been searching through all kinds of brick manufacturers for several days now, but it seems this color is only available in “premium” options :p
My general contractor said that light (gray) bricks are currently in trend, so that’s my hope:
Does anyone here know of an alternative to this brick? 😎

In our city, there are various houses with tiled facades. Each one more attractive than the last. The cost depends on the type of tile but can be quite affordable.
If I were to build myself, I would probably choose tiles instead of brick facing.
The pictures are not from my city but from a Google search.

I'm not entirely sure that you are aware of this. What are you comparing the desired facing brick to, and what do you mean by the more complex installation—more complex than what exactly?By more complex, I mean that the installation of a ceramic clinker brick is more time-consuming and therefore more expensive compared to a standard or even an engobed clay clinker brick.
I understand that the ceramic clinker brick is fully colored throughout, and that with the engobed brick, there can be chipping at the edges during installation, which reveals the original color underneath. Of course, it’s a matter of weighing whether the extra cost is worth it.
It might have been that someone else was in the same situation and found an alternative that suited their needs…

Please explain that in more detail.According to the general contractor, the mortar adheres poorly or more slowly to the low-absorption ceramic clinker bricks. Therefore, it is not advisable to lay many courses on top of each other at once. Instead, you should work on another side in between, which makes the process more time-consuming.

Does anyone perhaps know an alternative to this brick? 😎No, but I used this brick about a year ago. It looks amazing.H
