MCNEAR · BRICK
McNear Old California Face Brick Cropped brings the rustic, sun-warmed character of California's historic missions to full-thickness structural masonry walls. The cropped edges produce tight, uniform mortar joints that give walls a crisp, professional finish while preserving the weathered, hand-crafted appearance of old California brick — ideal for home exteriors, garden walls, and traditional masonry throughout the Bay Area.
Manufactured by McNear at their San Rafael, California facility using 40–99% post-consumer recycled material, the Old California Face Brick Cropped is freeze/thaw rated per ASTM C216 and built to withstand the rigors of structural masonry. The full-thickness construction provides the structural integrity needed for load-bearing masonry walls, while the weathered texture and warm color palette deliver the authentic charm of historic California brickwork.
