Glen-Gery glazed brick is created using many of the same techniques that underpin our line of extruded brick. The distinctive difference is a beautiful and lasting surface that contributes to outstanding design capabilities. Available in a broad spectrum of colors
and sizes, glazed brick creates a shining, glossy surface. It’s durable, too: glazes are applied before firing to become an integral part of the brick’s surface.
Offering a variety of colors and smooth or wirecut textures, Glen-Gery klaycoat brick extends the facebrick palette in a unique manner. Klaycoat delivers shades and textures—including elaborate speckled and matte finishes—not otherwise
available in brick, without sacrificing strength and durability.

Extruded
One of the quiet marvels of modern brickwork is the ease with which large quantities of brick can be created through the process of extrusion—a manufacturing craft that delivers exceptional quality and consistency, regardless of the volume required. Typically identified by its signature core holes, extruded brick is created by forcing a mixture of clay and water into a die, then cutting the resulting shape into shorter segments with wire before firing. This results in a sturdy, visually pleasing brick product that excels in many, highly varied applications.
