Choosing Bricks
J Routley Brick Services are Sydney Bricklayer experts in helping choose the look and feel you require. Bricks come in many natural textures that can set your home apart. Textures can add contrast or define a feature like an alcove or porch. Textures can bring out the natural colours of bricks.
Textures can add dimension throughout the day as the sun highlights them.

There are more than 800 different brick colours, from the lightest of whites and creams to the darkest blues and purples – and an unlimited opportunity to blend or accentuate. New generation colours offer a range of monochromatic tones for a more subtle appearance.
