Sandmold texture name comes from brick making process where sand or sawdust has been applied to the surface of brick before being fired. This manufacturing process has been practiced for thousands of years.
A coating of sand was used to help the sticky clay bricks slide out of the molds, and this sand left a distinctive grainy texture that can still be seen today on historic buildings across North America. In addition, this brick is also tumbled to give it its imperfection and rustic, old-world look that customers seek.
Extruded bricks are typically manufactured to conform to the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Specification C 216, Exterior Grade, Type FBS and all grades of ASTM C 62. These products also conform to the requirements of ASTM C 216.
Thin bricks are manufactured to provide specific dimensional tolerances. The dimensional tolerances of the product are intended to be within the requirements of ASTM C 1088, Type TBS for general use.
