A stone oven, wood fire, and a brick wall — baking's oldest images still read to customers as "fresh and traditional." That's why brick wall panel in bakeries and pâtisseries is such a powerful tool, both decoratively and for brand perception.
Behind the display: the stage for sales
In bakeries and pâtisseries, the most important wall is the one behind the display case where products are shown. While looking at the product, the customer also sees this wall. Things worth getting right here:
- A backdrop that doesn't compete with the product: the golden-brown tones of cookies, bread and pastries look far more vivid against white or light cream brick.
- Matching the shelving: wood or metal shelving mounted on a brick wall gives bread display both a practical and an attractive layout.
In our Carrefour Gurme project, you can see how white Ladrillo brick creates a clean, warm backdrop behind the bakery and pâtisserie counters.
Colour choice
- White and cream brick: for modern boutique pâtisseries and bright bakeries. The light tones of Ladrillo and Ladrillo Classico suit this well.
- Red and terracotta brick: for a traditional stone-oven or neighbourhood-bakery feel.
- Weathered brick: a nostalgic mood for artisan bread bakeries and French-style pâtisseries.
Pâtisseries with seating
In pâtisseries that also serve breakfast and desserts, the seating area's wall can be clad in a different brick tone than the display wall. This separates the sales and seating zones, so customers feel they're in a calmer setting once seated. A classic-patterned brick like Brique adds variety in this area.
Lighting: product light and wall light
Bakeries favour warm white light that flatters the product. A separate lighting line illuminating the brick wall adds depth to the space. When the two are planned together, both the display and the wall look their best.
Order and cleanliness
Order and cleanliness come first in food businesses. Regularly dusting panel surfaces and wiping them with a damp cloth keeps the space looking well-kept at all times. Production areas such as dough preparation and baking should be assessed separately with surfaces that meet relevant regulations — decorative panels are generally intended for customer-facing areas.
Logo and signage
A brick wall is also a strong backdrop for a business's logo. Metal lettering or a wooden sign reads clearly and with character against a brick texture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is brick panel suitable for hygiene in a pâtisserie?
It can be used comfortably in customer and sales areas with regular cleaning. Production areas need separate assessment against relevant regulations and surface requirements.
Can we get the same look across our branches?
Yes. Because panel products are manufactured to a standard, you can use the exact same model and colour across different branches.
