America's Only "Branded" Brick Easy to Identify on New Homes

    April 23, 2007 - Homebuyers have a simple and foolproof way to identify homes that are built using hard-fired Acme clay brick. Acme is the only brick in America that has the manufacturer's logo stamped into the product. Homebuyers can simply look for the Acme logo in the ends of select brick at corners, on windowsills and around doorways of new homes. If there are no logos stamped into select brick, the home is not built with Acme brick.

    Easy to Identify on New Homes

    There are many good reasons to look for the Acme logo. The fine earth clays used in Acme brick go through a series of eighteen tests for quality. This exhaustive testing assures that every Acme brick will far exceed all building codes. Recent tests have confirmed that some brick being sold in Texas fail building code specifications. Homeowners can be confident that their Acme exterior will not fade with time, even in the blazing southwestern sun. The buyer of an Acme Brick home also need never worry about insect damage or expensive maintenance of their Acme exterior. Clay brick's natural insulating properties also reduce energy expenses while its fire resistance reduces insurance premiums. And, resale values for genuine clay brick homes exceed those of other types of exterior facing materials.

    Perhaps the best reason to look for the Acme logo is the Acme 100 Year Homebuyers' Limited Guarantee. This remarkable guarantee is issued on every Acme residential brick product and covers both materials and labor against any defect for 100 years. Additionally, the guarantee is fully transferable an unlimited number of times within the 100 years. Well informed new homebuyers look for the Acme logo. These homebuyers know that "if they don't see the Acme logo, they won't get Acme quality."
