other building material can. It surrounds us with
an environment of security and structural
integrity, and conveys an assurance of permanent
value. But it is the authentic feeling of brick that
downright wins us over, giving us a sensual
awareness that says everything works together
beautifully.

Our brickmaking is a painstaking combination of
skilled journeywork and state-of-the-art technology.
Our unique manufacturing process infuses
the brick mold box with material, then vibrates
and releases it, achieving the soft, irregular edges
of our genuine molded brick. Sand is the releasing
agent, so all of our genuine molded brick
products have sand finish textures.
Glen-Gery’s master tradesmen—the best in
the industry—constantly oversee and manipulate
the molds. They push, pull, dump and twist
creating the perfect union of color and texture.
The result is an intended singularity that delivers a
subtle and pleasing variation.
The exquisite shadings and
sand-finished textures of
our genuine molded brick
imbue a depth and visual
appeal that has no equal.
The interplay of shapes
and surfaces—keystoned
windows, rowlock round
arch around louvers, and
corbel details on the
chimney—add warmth
and character.
