Design quality, technical innovation and a beautiful aesthetic – the attributes of brick as a material that can transform and enhance building design are the central theme of a hugely popular webinar series from Vandersanden, now returning for a second season, beginning on 25th November.
Darren White, UK Sales Director at Vandersanden, commented: “Over 1,000 architects, designers, specifiers registered our Summer Series of brick webinars.
“Many more wanted to join but missed out. That’s why, we’re repeating the Series to give more architects and designers the chance to learn about how bricks are changing, the innovations behind their production and the many advantages this timeless material can bring to a scheme.”
This will cover the fundamentals of brick, and then provide valuable insights on how to select the right brick for a particular project or application, looking at design considerations and exploring the huge range of brick colours, textures and sizes now available on the market.
