Originally discarded because they were discolored or distorted, around 1920 clinker bricks were re-discovered by Craftsmen architects to be usable, distinctive, and charming in architectual detailing. The name "clinker brick" comes from the sound that they would make when banged together, being heavier than regular bricks.

Custom matching and large custom orders are welcome. Our clinker bricks are shipped nationwide direct.

Old Pasadena Clinkers

Authentic clinkers in the red color range with distortions, twists, and black marks from overheating. This project chose to leave heavy mortar residue for effect. Clinker "clumps" also available to compliment.

Authentic 'cored' clinkers in the red color range with distortions, twists, and black marks from overheating. Clinker "clumps" also available to compliment.

San Francisco Clinkers

Amazing authentic clinker bricks with radical color flashes and fused brick remnants jutting out from extreme overheating.

Tuscany Clinkers

Reclaimed from the abandoned grounds of the world famous Purington Brick Co. in East Galesburg, IL. These unique bricks have great color ranges from orange to rose to red to purple with white mortar stains. When laid in this fashion, they provide a great clinker look.
