Bricks in all the profiles are rough-edged and irregularly sized to create a timeworn look.

It typically is installed over concrete masonry block, sheathing, rigid insulation, or open stud framing. Matching molding, crowns, caps, half rounds, and trim are available.

The new Mocha color was developed to coordinate with 11 Cultured Stone veneer colors and three Cultured Brick veneer colors.
