Our parent company, Hanson Building Products, like the products we manufacture, has a history of inherent sustainability. Even so, our eye is always on the future through our people and manufacturing practices today. When you use Hanson Brick products, you can feel confident you’re making a long-term investment in a greener world.

With a history dating back 10,000 years, clay brick is a proven, viable, lasting building product. Due to its 100-year-plus life span, its resistance to signs of aging and its inherent thermal mass properties, brick is one of the most energy efficient and eco-friendly building products available. This means that all of Hanson Brick’s products essentially have no life cycle end – not only do they last centuries when serving their original purpose, but they can also be recycled, re-used and re-purposed indefinitely. Thus, replacement products using depleting resources are needed far less frequently. There’s practically no waste, and contribution to landfills is dramatically reduced.

Made of primarily local, natural, non-toxic elements from the earth, Hanson’s clay brick products are inert. They are not flammable, will not react with other materials and do not release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other chemicals into their surroundings.
