Description
Experience the unique charm and warm tones of Chief Bricks’ Reclaimed Orange Bricks, salvaged from historic structures throughout New York City. These handpicked bricks are carefully cleaned and prepared for reuse, showcasing their characteristic orange hue that adds a distinct aesthetic to any building project.
While these bricks share the rich history and authenticity of their red counterparts, reclaimed orange bricks tend to show more signs of natural decay, giving them a softer, weathered appearance. Ideal for decorative or light structural applications, they bring a sense of history and sustainability to your designs.
Most frequent applications
- Non-Structural Walls: Perfect for adding vibrant, vintage warmth to interior or exterior walls.
- Decorative Accents: Use in facades, fireplaces, feature walls, or artistic projects.
- Restoration Projects: Great for restoring or replicating historic buildings with orange tones.
- Patios and Pathways: Create unique, weathered surfaces with a rustic, aged look.
Texture and look
Reclaimed Orange Bricks showcase a warm, sunlit orange hue with a time-worn texture that highlights their historic origins. They feature a softer and more decayed appearance, with imperfections such as paint remnants, cracks, mortar traces, missing corners, and occasional burn marks. These natural flaws enhance their rustic charm while lending a distinct visual appeal perfect for vintage or industrial-inspired designs.

Disclaimer
Disclaimer
Reclaimed bricks are salvaged materials sourced from various manufacturers and structures, often dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. As a result, these bricks are not subjected to modern chemical or physical testing and do not meet ASTM standards for new masonry products.
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. These bricks are recommended for aesthetic and non-structural applications unless otherwise determined by a qualified professional.
By purchasing reclaimed bricks, you acknowledge and accept these unique attributes as part of their historic and timeless appeal.
