Specializing in the thrill of the hunt! We salvage buildings, schools and factories and row houses dating back to the 1800 and 1900's. By recycling old world brick, in a post-consumer fashion, we are able to provide homeowners and owners of commercial spaces the opportunity to bring back to life a slice of old world Americana. Architecturally on trend, our thin brick veneer is a hot commodity for designers and architects.
Past project uses that feature our Thin Brick have included coffee shops, commercial office spaces, restaurants, chimney flues, kitchen flooring in various patterns, HGTV projects, and a breathtaking industrial-chic space on the upper west side of Manhattan- just to name a few.
