BAKED CLAY

Machine molded bricks are made using the process of automation. Molded bricks are often referred to as ‘sand struck’, meaning that sand is used as a lubricant to release the clay from the molds and as a way to provide different colors. These “sandstruck” bricks are produced with varying degrees of sand on all surfaces except one bedding surface. Molded bricks have characteristics that give both residential and commercial facades a traditional unique warmth and depth. The rich texture, color, and appeal of machine molded brick enriches the exterior of any building and creates a classic look that will stand the test of time.

In most cases customers utilize cracked pieces for cuts and infills. Others seek the broken pieces to add more character to the finished product. There are minimums and quantity roundups applied to match full brick purchasing requirements.
