Because of its natural variation and unique shape, these bricks offer an an extensive visual palette while keeping your project streamlined.

You can add interest by varying the brick orientation or change things up by reversing some of the bricks in the wall.  You can even play with projections to create an eye-catching extruded design.

These bricks also come in a variety of colors and feature a weathered finish that adds a touch of rustic elegance to any space. Let your artistry shine by choosing a color that enhances the natural features of your project and the surrounding environment.
