Design guides & how-tos

Disclaimer

Reclaimed bricks are salvaged materials sourced from various manufacturers and structures, often more than a century old. Reclaimed bricks aren't tested to current structural standards, so we sell them for non-structural use.

While every effort is made to ensure the quality and consistency of reclaimed bricks, variations in size, color, texture, and performance are inherent due to their historic nature.

By purchasing reclaimed bricks, you acknowledge and accept these unique attributes as part of their historic and timeless appeal.
