Red Wirecut Flashed
Deep terracotta and classic brick-red clays anchor the multi-tonal body of Red Wirecut Flashed from the Columbia Collection, layered with dark iron reduction headers and smoky charcoal-brown kiln flashes across the face. Its sand-dusted wirecut drag texture introduces subtle vertical striations and tactile depth, while sharp, square-cut arrises cast clean shadow lines that preserve disciplined horizontal coursing alignment across extensive wall planes. An exceptional selection for contemporary educational facilities, civic complexes, healthcare wings, and modern urban commercial facades, it coordinates naturally with natural buff limestone panels, bronze storefront framing, clear-anodized aluminum systems, and dark charcoal architectural coping.
Manufactured in Modular, Utility, and Norman formats to give architects complete geometric freedom across project elevations, Red Wirecut Flashed provides compelling visual contrast through mortar selection. Striking the masonry joints with an Ivory or bright White mortar establishes a crisp, graphic grid that distinctly outlines each unit, pulling the dark flashed headers, structural piers, and soldier bands into sharp architectural prominence; conversely, laying the brickwork with a standard Gray or warm Buff mortar recedes the bed lines, quietly knitting the flashed red and charcoal faces into an enduring, monolithic masonry field with tailored finish consistency.
