Handmade Petersen Kolumba™ bricks
Petersen Kolumba™ bricks were developed jointly by Petersen Tegl and architect Peter Zumthor in 2002, who wanted to use bricks in a Roman format for the Kolumba Museum in Cologne. After the clay is processed, Kolumba™ bricks are 100% handmade in wooden moulds, then dried and fired. The varying temperatures during the firing process create Kolumba's unmatched textures and beautiful shades, and you'll even find a thumb print on each one.

Introducing the K100 brick
K100 is a brand-new addition to the Petersen range of handmade, high-quality bricks. At first glance, it appears yellow, but on closer inspection a much wider colour palette merges, from cream to beige, ochre to rusty rose, olive-green to subtly varied shades of grey. Like all of our Kolumba™ products, each of the six sides of K100 has a unique texture, a testament to the 100% handcrafted production method–as are the thumb prints of the individuals who made each and every brick.
You can experiment with the K100 brick on Petersen brick study, which lets you change brick bonds, mortar colours and joint profiles.

Introducing C101
Introducing C101, the newest brick shingle in the handmade Petersen Cover™ range.
Like all Cover, it's handmade in wooden moulds, which gives the brick a rough, varied surface with natural variations. The colour is a classic, clear red with a subtle dark veil, thanks to dark grey clay slurry, which is added to the lump of clay in the wooden mould.
Like the other Cover™ bricks in the range, C101 is available in two sizes (L × W × H):
-
528 × 170 × 37 mm
-
528 × 240 × 37 mm
You can experiment with C101 brick on Petersen brick study, which lets you change brick bonds, mortar colours and joint profiles.
Our most sought-after Petersen Cover™ colours
Petersen Cover™ is a handmade tile product for rooves and facades that's mounted on a wood or metal substructure. It's available in 14 colours, and you can visit Petersen's Cover™ page to see the full range.
Petersen Custom bricks
Given that a large proportion of Petersen's brick and brick shingle range are genuinely handmade, it makes it easy for the brickworks to meet requests for special formats. That's why custom bricks for special projects account for an ever-increasing proportion of the bricks being made by Petersen Tegl. You can discuss the specifications you require with our team, and we will talk to the custom brick team at Petersen, who will create a wooden mould. Orders range from one brick to large-scale construction.
