Our Planet, Our Responsibility!
We at Brick It like to think that in some small way we contribute to our global earth cleaning efforts by recycling brick. Every reclaimed brick sold reduces the amount of waste going to our landfills, and eliminates a need for making and firing a new one, consequently reducing impact of CO2 on our environment and global warming.
This product is also known as salvaged, reclaimed, antique, recovered, historic and old brick. In essence, it is brick obtained from dismantled or demolished buildings which stood 40 to 250 years in the NY metropolitan area. Each lot, by nature, is limited, and they are often gathered from particular buildings of historical significance. The appearance is slightly irregular, hand-molded and worn-looking producing the artisan-installed brickwork look.
Modular size shown in the picture is most common for wall veneering.
*Product is cut to order and usually ships 7-15 business days

Esthetically this product delivers warmth and unique feel but it is important to remember that it is does not meet today’s ASTM standards. Bricks are fragile, some are cracked and half and/or partial pieces or are found in boxes. We recommend purchasing approximately 10% (+/-) over the required quantities and using common bond pattern in order to minimize waste. Due to the wet cutting process, some moisture might be present. Therefore, this specific product is always cut to a specific order, shipped immediately, and its intended to be unpackaged and installed by customer asap, allowing proper and natural exposure to environment.
This brick choice comes with certain amount of risk, but courageous customers are rewarded with unparalleled look and feel.
All our cut bricks are washed, rinsed and treated against microbiological contamination.
