First introduced into the market place in 1996 as a quality match for the old type brickwork in many cities the Snowie Heritage has been used extensively in the United Kingdom and has been specified because of its high compressive strength and ability to withstand severe exposure. Local councils often request this brick be used in areas of conservation due to its excellent match with old bricks. The main face has a dark stain on the surface to replicate a weathered inner city look and the reverse side of the brick a more clean purpose made common appearance. This can be a great advantage when taking on renovation projects.
