Man has used brick for building purpose for thousands of years. Bricks date back to 7000 BC, which makes them one of the oldest known building materials. They were discovered in southern Turkey at the site of an ancient settlement around the city of Jericho.Today brick is still the preferred building facades because of the versatility, beauty, and longevity. New York City is one of the largest brick markets in the world and has showcased many prominent buildings with brick masonry design.

One of the most significant architectural benefits of designing with concrete masonry is its versatility – the finished appearance of a concrete masonry wall can be varied with the unit size, shape, color and texture. The term “architectural concrete masonry units” typically is used to describe units displaying any one of several surface finishes that affects the texture of the unit, allowing the structural wall and finished surface to be installed in a single step.

Spectra Glaze concrete masonry units have set the international standard for glazed finishes integrally bonded to concrete block. They are innovative, cost-saving, high performance, pre-finished concrete block used in a multitude of applications worldwide.
Spectra Glaze is offered in a wide variety of colors and is resistant to soiling, chemicals, markings, impact, abrasion and much more. It is fire-safe and meets USDA and OSHA requirements for sanitary walls and cleanroom applications.

Cast stone or reconstructed stone is a highly refined architectural precast concrete masonry unit intended to simulate natural-cut stone. It is used for architectural features: trim, or ornament; facing buildings or other structures; statuary; and for garden ornaments. Cast stone can be made from white and/or grey cements, manufactured or natural sands, crushed stone or natural gravels, and colored with mineral coloring pigments. Cast stone may replace such common natural building stones as limestone, brownstone, sandstone, bluestone, granite, slate, coral, and travertine.

Colored mortar can make a big impact on the aesthetics of a project, as well as mortar joint style. Color mortar emphasizes and highlights the various color characteristics of brick while the application, or joint style, will accentuate the lines and textural detail of the brick. Colored mortar is an architectural vision that is sometimes overlooked.
Glenwood colored mortars are engineered for maximum performance and consistency in the field. Each factory pre-blended batch is crafted using the highest quality ingredients and iron oxide pigments. This provides a consistent product and allows the mason to create a durable and beautiful project.

A masonry anchor is a fastener used to attach items to masonry, such as brick, concrete, or block. They are strong and durable and can be used for a variety of projects. RA-PID BRACKETS® are our proprietary structural, thermally broken shelf angle support system, allowing for continuous insulation behind the shelf angle. This system offsets the shelf angle from the structural backing and positions the shelf angle to remain fully outboard of the insulation. Our RA-PID® Brackets can be manufactured in any size.

Glass brick, also known as glass block, is an architectural element made from glass. The appearance of glass blocks can vary in color, size, texture, and form. Glass bricks provide visual obscuration while admitting light. The modern glass block was developed from pre-existing prism lighting principles in the early 1900s to provide natural light in manufacturing plants. Today glass blocks are used in walls, skylights, and sidewalk lights.

Energex offers a variety of systems including, WATER MANAGEMENT WALL SYSTEMS, ONE COAT STUCCO WALL SYSTEMS, DIRECT APPLIED WALL SYSTEMS, EIFS WALL SYSTEMS and our patented ONE STEP TROWELABLE MEMBRANE SYSTEM! These provide the Owner/Design Professional with options needed to fulfil the structural and design elements of their project!

Masonry anchors are used to fasten or attach an item to masonry. They can be used with various kinds of masonry including brick and blocks, as well as concrete.

Granite is more than just a durable stone. It's beautiful, too. Its coloration can range from pink to grey and because it can contain elements of a variety of minerals.
Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock that is often composed of the skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, foraminifera. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate.

Natural stone is a timeless building material formed by geological processes and quarried directly from the earth. Each piece features unique color variations, textures, and veining, giving spaces an authentic and organic character. Common types include granite, limestone, slate, marble, and sandstone. Natural stone is valued for its durability, strength, and ability to age beautifully over time, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications such as flooring, walls, facades, and landscaping

Masonry cleaners are specialized cleaning solutions formulated to remove dirt, stains, mortar residue, efflorescence, and environmental buildup from masonry surfaces. They are commonly used on materials such as brick, concrete, natural stone, manufactured stone, and pavers to restore the surface’s original appearance without causing damage. Depending on the formulation, masonry cleaners may be acidic, alkaline, or neutral, each designed to address specific types of stains and contaminants.

Premium Performance Rigid Thermoset Insulation Glenwood offers Kingspan Kooltherm; Kooltherm is a premium performance insulation product for wall, floor, soffit/structural ceiling and concrete sandwich wall system applications. It has a fiber–free rigid thermoset phenolic insulation core that resists both moisture and water vapor ingress, and exhibits excellent fire performance.

Our standard CMU is available in different mix designs to conform to the ASTM Specifications for Concrete Masonry Units. These units are stock items in both Light Weight and Normal Weight densities, and are available in hundreds of sizes.

Rooftop pavers are durable, modular surfacing systems designed to create functional and attractive outdoor spaces on rooftops, terraces, and podium decks. Engineered to withstand weather exposure, UV radiation, and heavy foot traffic, they provide a stable, slip-resistant walking surface while protecting the underlying roof membrane. Rooftop pavers are typically installed over pedestal or drainage systems, allowing for proper water runoff, easy access to utilities, and enhanced thermal and acoustic performance.
