Reclaimed brick, often referred to as salvaged or recycled brick, is obtained from aged buildings or structures that are undergoing demolition or renovation.
These bricks carry a unique charm and history that new bricks simply can't replicate.
They are sturdy and can endure weather like Minnesotas harsh winters.

The veneer comes in a variety of colors and styles, offering a wide range of design possibilities.
Brick veneer is relatively low maintenance.

For glazed brick, all you do is apply a layer of glossy coating to the brick.
This glaze can come in a variety of colors, ranging from traditional shades like white or cream to more vibrant hues like blues, greens, or even purples as seen in the image above.
The glazing process makes the bricks more resistant to weather and wear, ensuring the colors stay vibrant for longer.
Since glazed bricks aren't as widespread as regular bricks, they can really make a house pop in a neighborhood.
