BRICKS AND CLAY PAVERS
: Ketley are renowned for their Class A
Staffordshire bricks and clay pavers in blue, red and brown brindle. These
bricks and pavers were widely used in Victorian times as they offer the
ultimate in durability and can often be seen in the form of patterned
pavers or holding up bridges and viaducts. Ketley recently launched a
range of extruded brick slips and paving tiles available in a wide range of
natural clay colours. The new paving tiles are similar to traditional quarry
tiles and offer a good match to discontinued paving tiles found in many
parts of the UK.
