Brick and Brewskies

Our Cup Runneth Over

You know we're a sucker for cool brick projects. But we are even more impressed when we can showcase projects that utilize historic brick-clad buildings finding a new life. Brick is amazing in this way, because it always seems to look better with time.

Pine Forest

A Crisp and Distinctive Cladding Option

by: Allison Hayes, designer

Triangle Brick’s Pine Forest brick is from our Parkway Collection. If you are looking for a warm, neutral-tone brick, this would be a great choice for your next project. I personally like this brick with buff mortar because it blends nicely with the warm tan, ivory, and evergreen tones in this brick.
