Firth Tasman Coastal Brick Veneer: A Brighter Take on Natural Beauty

Published: 28 May 2025

For a cladding product that provides both natural authenticity and visual impact, Firth’s Tasman Coastal brick veneer in Brilliant White brings something truly special to the table.

Designed for residential cladding and feature walls, this premium brick is already turning heads across the country for its luminous finish, refined texture and natural sparkle.

Originally launched in a single Premium White option, the Coastal brick veneer quickly caught the attention of designers and builders looking for something fresh. But for the team at Firth, this was just the beginning. Inspired by the natural beauty of local materials, Ben Hawkins and the Nelson plant team began experimenting with design mixes, aiming to push the aesthetic further.

Thanks to marble aggregate sourced from the Takaka hills, the team achieved a remarkable result: Firth’s whitest masonry brick ever, with a sparkle that subtly catches the light.

The finish was so unique that it earned its own colour name – Brilliant White – and Firth made the bold call to supply this standout product nationwide exclusively from the Nelson plant.

And it’s not just about colour. The split face texture adds another layer of appeal. As sunlight moves across the surface, it casts ever-changing shadowing – a visual symphony delicately peppered with pinpricks of light.

Made right here in Aotearoa from durable, natural materials, it’s a finish that won’t fade, date, or disappoint.

If you’re looking to bring that little bit extra to your next project – something with visual impact, extra sparkle, and locally sourced, Firth’s Tasman Coastal Brick Veneer in Brilliant White is the solution.
