Since 1868


McNear Brick & Block’s roots go back to 1868, making us one of the country’s oldest brick manufacturers. We produce a broad selection of Face Brick, Thin Brick, and Brick Pavers in colors and textures ranging from the soft, handmade look of our Sandmold Series, to the “reclaimed” aesthetic of our Old California Series, to the vibrant colors and clean edges of our Commercial Series. In addition to the products shown here, we regularly manufacture custom blends, shapes, and colors, and are adept at matching historic brick. McNear brick products meet the standards of ASTM C216 Grade SW and ASTM C1088 Grade Exterior, and are suitable for use in freeze/thaw environments.

Sandmold Series

They don’t make them like this anymore.

McNear Brick has preserved a lot of hand-craftmanship that allows us to make products like our Sandmold Series, which would be difficult or impossible to make in newer, more automated brick plants. The rounded edges and subtle irregularities of our Sandmolds accurately capture the look and feel of true historic bricks.

Old California Series

Reclaimed brick that feels like history.

Our Old California Series bricks replicate the wide range of bricks recycled from knocked-down buildings. Some have mortar stains, and some are mostly red. Others show blends of warm colors. All these bricks are manufactured with chipped edges and corners, just as are found in actual reclaimed bricks.

Town Series

Where more modern edges and classic brick coloring come together.

These bricks are generally multi-hued, but with squarer edges than our Sandmold and Old California bricks. Their colors are created from one or more of the following methods: reduction firing in our kiln, ceramic coatings, or colorants in the clay.

Commercial Series

Bright and simple colors with clean edges. The modern edge of brick.

These bricks generally have crisp edges, and vivid, more monochromatic colors. Their surface textures can be either a smooth Dieskin, a rougher Wirecut, or our striated Rug texture.
