Brick equivalent

6 years ago

I'm looking for a brick that closely resembles this brick. I spoke with the builder and inquired about the brick used; he stated that it was a custom brick from overseas (just my luck). Anyone have any ideas about something similar I can look into? TIA

We used Magnolia Bay.(Borel Bricks I believe)We were actually intending on painting it but once we got the cedar beams installed we fell in love with it and decided to lower maintenance of not painting was the smartest way to go

It may be a little warmer in color than the one you have pictured but it still has gray and maybe a slight warmer brown color as well. Good luck!

Oops Boral Brick is the correct spelling. You can Google images as well. Here is another I found.
