Hampstead Medium is a handmade brick designed to provide authentic texture and natural character. Manufactured using slightly coarser sand and traditional firing methods, the range delivers a balanced finish that sits between our Hastings and Elizabethan collections.
*Example image above demonstrates a Hampstead Medium blend.
The natural variation created during manufacture produces a warm, established appearance suited to both traditional and contemporary architecture.
Hampstead Medium is ideal for projects requiring handmade character, depth, and regional authenticity.
