Helpful Facts on Strength, Durability, Beauty 

and Sustainability 

Sustainability 

Using Hanson Brick lets you express your personal style while keeping 

a modest environmental footprint. Using the earth’s raw materials, our 

manufacturing processes are increasingly clean and efficient. Brick 

manufacturing takes less energy than that of concrete, glass, aluminum 

and possibly even wood*. And brick walls have a superior life-cycle cost 

savings due to brick’s low maintenance, weather resistance and 

structural values. Additionally, the thermal mass effect (slow transfer 

of heat and cold) can help reduce energy costs as well. So go ahead, 

be beautiful without the guilt. 

Quality and Performance 

Hanson Brick fully backs the quality and performance of our clay brick 

with a detailed warranty. Our brick is manufactured to meet or exceed 

the requirements of the ASTM C216 Severe Weather Grade. A minimal 

amount of inspection and maintenance will ensure your clay brick 

cladding will endure for many years to come. For further details, 

please contact Hanson’s technical services. 

Brick Veneer 

The brickwork on a house is a highly durable wall finish. Between the 

brick and the backup wall there is an air cavity that provides both a 

capillary break and a drainage path for moisture. Should moisture 

penetrate the veneer (a normal occurrence), the moisture will flow down 

the cavity to the flashing and out of the weep holes, protecting the more 

moisture-sensitive materials of the backup wall. 

Color & Texture 

Color of brick and texture variation within any production run is an 

inherent part of the manufacturing process. It is not possible to include 

these variations in photography and normal sampling. Different types 

of mortar joints and the color of the mortar do affect the overall look of 

brickwork and can lead to a perceived color difference. 

Waterproofing Sealers 

Hanson Brick does not approve of the use of waterproofing sealers. 

Sealers can affect the breathability of the brickwork and reduce the 

durability and life expectancy of the brick due to water retention. 

Efflorescence 

Efflorescence is a white powdery deposit of water soluble salts 

sometimes found on the brick surface. Efflorescence is not harmful to 

brick masonry. Once the moisture within the building materials used in 

construction dries out to the ambient humidity, no further efflorescence 

should be expected and should disappear of its own accord with normal 

weathering.

All our brick, full-face and thin, is made primarily from local, natural, nontoxic 

elements from the earth—sand, gravel, crushed stone and clay. Brick 

is not flammable, will not react with other materials and does not release 

chemicals into its surroundings. 

At Hanson Brick, our manufacturing process re-uses all the waste we create, 

so we don’t contribute to unproductive landfills. Because brick lasts 

indefinitely, it has no life cycle end. It can ei ther be recycled or repurposed 

into other useful materials like kitty litter, backfill/aggregates, and even 

landscaping materials for tennis courts, baseball fields and flower beds.
