Lanzarote Black

The Lanzarote Black 65mm Brick by La Paloma is a contemporary facing brick designed to create bold, architectural external walls with a refined and modern appearance. Manufactured using high-quality clay and controlled firing processes, it features a deep black to charcoal tone with subtle surface variation. This rich colouring delivers strong visual impact while remaining elegant and well balanced across larger elevations.

This facing brick has a smooth to lightly textured surface that enhances its crisp and controlled finish. Because of the restrained colour palette and gentle variation, walls built with this brick feel deliberate and composed rather than flat or monotonous. Designers often specify this brick where a clean, modern aesthetic is required with strong contrast and definition.

In addition to its visual appeal, this La Paloma facing brick suits a wide range of external wall applications in residential construction. It works particularly well in contemporary housing schemes and architect-led projects where material clarity and consistency are important design considerations.

The dark colouring of this brick allows flexibility when selecting mortar colours. Dark mortars can create a seamless and monolithic appearance, while lighter mortars introduce contrast and highlight brick joints. This adaptability makes it suitable for both minimal modern façades and more expressive architectural designs.

This brick pairs effectively with materials such as glass, timber cladding, metal detailing, and render. Its deep tone helps anchor façades and create strong visual contrast, making elevations feel intentional and confidently designed rather than trend-driven.
