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.
