Reclaimed Brick Veneer
- Stone Farm salvages full face brick from historic mills, factories, churches and schools.
- These century-old buildings yield beautiful, distinct bricks that were fired well before the rise of modern mass-production.
- Once reclaimed, we saw the bricks thin for easy installation as lighter weight wall or floor tile.
- For projects in the home, like a backsplash, accent wall or fireplace surround, or a vintage commercial application in a restaurant, brewery or retail store, our reclaimed wall tiles provide unmatched authenticity and character.
Our core product in this category is New England Mill Blend, consisting of bricks manufactured between 1890 and 1920 in the Northeast and reclaimed primarily from old factories and mills.
We also offer an Antique Grey blend, reclaimed from historic buildings throughout Asia, where a combination of clay minerals and cooling techniques produced ashen hues.
- Salvaged from old buildings throughout New England, this bold-colored blend is ideal as either an accent or feature material.
- Much of the region's clay comes from iron-rich glacial deposits and riverbeds—resulting in a range of deep reds and terracotta oranges.
- We mix in white tones and blackened “soot-stained” pieces--the result of fire damage and natural weathering.

See our New England Mill blend come to life in recent projects:
- Our reclaimed grey bricks, found in historic Asian walls and temples, were made with clay rich in calcium and magnesium, and lower iron content.
- A firing technique which deprived the bricks of oxygen kept their colors in the range of pale blue-greys to charcoals.
- Their soft, cool colors became symbolic of modesty, order and harmony--the values of Confucian architecture.

SALVAGING OLD BRICK FOR VENEER
RECLAIMED BRICK VENEER CUTS
- Reclaimed thin brick is a versatile interior design option--suitable for many projects and spaces. And it works beautifully both old and new architecture.
- We produce our thin brick by slicing 1/2" pieces (3/4" for our grey blend) off of either the face (wall veneer) or top (flooring tiles) of the reclaimed, full brick.
- We also have the capability of fabricating outside corner pieces and thin tile strips.
BRICK WALL TILE PROJECTS
- Swatches of our reclaimed brick veneer are one thing, but this historic material really comes to life when it's installed.
- Factors such as light and mortar choice have a huge effect on how timeless brick tiles bring life to a space.

RECLAIMED BRICK VENEER AS A FLOORING OPTION
- While we offer reclaimed floor tile in the New England Blend (cut from the top of the brick) you can also use our wall tiles in your floor design.
- Our wall tiles have the same length and thickness as the floor tiles, but they average 1"-1.25" LESSER in width.
- Some customers prefer the lesser width for specific patterns such as herringbone.
- Since the brick tops were exposed directly to mortar, they tend to show more white and grey tones. If you desire a more consistent red, this could be another reason to choose wall tiles for a flooring project.
- PLEASE NOTE--this applies ONLY to our New England Mill Blend. Our Antique Grey brick wall tiles are not suitable for floor applications.

How To Obtain a White Wash Look
The picture on the right was taken inside of a home in Las Vegas. They decided to use our New England Mill blend reclaimed thin brick veneer for an accent wall in their living room. In order to obtain that white look the mason did a white wash scrape over the brick veneer.
White Wash Recipe
- Masonry Lime
- 50/50 mix of water & add mix (polymer bonding agent)
- Sand for texture - not necessary
