Robertson’s Building Products is the sole Australian and New Zealand distributor for Petersen Tegl bricks – a Danish brickworks that manufactures a truly unique range of bricks and clinkers. Renowned for excellent craftsmanship, these outstanding products come in an extensive range of colours, sizes and textures.
Petersen’s handcrafted KolumbaTM range was developed in 2000 in conjunction with Swiss Architect, Peter Zumthor, for the Kolumba Museum in Germany. KolumbaTM is a handmade, long-shaped brick suitable for both outdoor and indoor projects, as well as a vertical or horizontal use. These beautiful, unique bricks are available in the standard format (528 x 108 x 37mm) and can also be custom made.
The classic Petersen brick is waterstruck and coal-fired, and is available in 39 different colours or can be custom blended to suit your needs. Among the classic bricks is a range of specials for window sills, pillars and corners, along with lintels for large spans, suspended lintels, soldier courses, rowlocks and arches.
Petersen CoverTM is 100% handmade and fired at high temperatures. It’s fastened to an underlying structure, so the bricks lie accurately on the building surface.
