Echelon Masonry introduces Ashton Brick
Echelon Masonry announced the availability of its newest product line of artisan masonry veneers, Ashton Brick, in select states. Combining a classic brick aesthetic with durable concrete in modern colors, it is a cost-effective yet design-forward solution for commercial builders, contractors and architects.
Ashton Brick masonry veneer is engineered to deliver consistency, style and safety. Its tight concrete texture provides a uniform appearance, enhances durability, and achieves a modern aesthetic, with integrated color throughout the entire unit. Each unit is fire and water resistant and cored for easy handling and installation.
“We’re proud to offer Ashton Brick to our partners and contractors, adding another innovative solution to our portfolio of products,” said Kevin Torok, vice president of Masonry Sales, Oldcastle APG. “This product combines all the benefits of easy handling, efficient installation and long-lasting durability, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking a top-quality solution. We’re excited to introduce this to the market and provide architects and builders with one of the safest, most stylish and cost-effective materials.”
Ashton Brick is available in 4 colors – Linen, Desert, Graphite and Almond, making it suitable for a variety of design aesthetics. Its color is also through-body, minimizing waste and installation time. Five additional colors will be added later this year: Midnight, Cool Gray, Buckeye Tan, Thunderhead and Gray Granite.
This masonry veneer is produced with RainBloc GP integral water repellent, which minimizes the risk of water damage.
Each unit weighs just 4 pounds and is made with three cores to ensure simple handling and installation on the job site.
Concrete masonry units are incredibly cost-effective materials. CMUs are resistant to fire, wind, mold, pests and water damage, reducing repair and maintenance costs over time. Masonry veneer like Ashton Brick can be particularly cost effective compared to traditional brick.
Echelon Masonry currently offers Ashton Brick in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee.
