MCNEAR · BRICK
McNear Sandmold Face Brick Cropped delivers the soft, hand-formed texture of traditional sandmold brick with the clean, cropped edges that produce tight, uniform mortar joints. The result is a crisp, professional finish that retains the warm, organic character of hand-crafted brick — ideal for home exteriors, garden walls, and feature masonry throughout the Bay Area.
Manufactured by McNear at their San Rafael, California facility using 40–99% post-consumer recycled material, the Sandmold 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 distinctive sandmold texture and rich color palette deliver authentic, old-world charm.
