Angled bricks

Options
Hi

I need some angled bricks for a victorian style conservatory. Its a 50p shape. What's the best place to pick up up from cheap? What angle would I need? 45 degrees?

Thanks in advance :beer:

Bye

    How can it be 45 degrees? A 50p piece has 7 sides so would have an internal angle of just over 51 degrees.

    Conservatories tend to have 3 angled facets for which you can get 135 deg squints. They are commonly available as engineering bricks in either blue or red at any builders merchants. Most companies use these as a contrast to the rest of the bricks. If you want an exact match you can get any brick cut and glued with resin to that angle. If you either google this or ask at a local travis or jewson, no doubt they will point you in the right direction.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Sorry my mistake. Here's a birds eye view plan of the conservatory:
