“Vee Brick Classics colors have been developed over many years to fill the needs of homeowners and thin brick users. Our Vee Brick product line is especially popular with architects and designers because care is taken to produce a wide range of attractive colors for unmatched and unlimited design possibilities.
The first in the Vee Brick Classics line are our two reds: 200Plantation Red, which is exceptionally vivid and clear; and 250 Havana Red, having deep reddish brown tones which match many residential face brick. Following those, we offer a chocolate brown color 410 Gunstock Brown, then introduce light burning raw materials to perfect our buff color 600 Chino and our terra-cotta 610 Sunlit Earth. Sunlit Earth is also the base body used to produce our Indian 615 Copper ironspot color.
The balance of our Vee Brick Classics colors consists of four of the most beautiful architectural brick colors available including our recently introduced white 710 Seashell, tan 820 Sahara and two grays: 760 Academy Grey and 510 Cobblestone.
Our exceptional range of colors has proven to be especially appealing when both flashed and unflashed colors are blended.
VEE BRICK RUSTICS
All of Marion Ceramics’ Vee Brick Rustics colors are natural gas flashed and made with the same body formulas used in the matching clear tone colors. The resulting variegated tones of these perimeter flashed colors make for a special warmth and rustic feel that can only be achieved with natural materials.
Our two reds are flashed to produce the 300 Tavern Flash and 255 Magnum Flash colors. Our brown flash is 400 Colonial Blend. The 655 Sundance is made with our buff body, and 675 Tangier color is fired from our terra cotta body.
All of our colors are compatible with similarly colored residential face brick and work well with architectural and commercial projects using matching and/or contrasting face brick or other facing materials.

VEE BRICK FEATURES
SIZES
Marion’s Vee Brick product line is available in the modular brick size (2 1/4″ x 7 5/8″ x 9/16″) along with matching corners. Extra care is taken in the manufacturing process to ensure that the long leg of our flashed corners is a perfect match for our flashed thin brick. Also, some unflashed corners are blended with flashed corners to reduce the possible zipper look at the corner of buildings.
Marion Ceramics also provides several thin brick options by special order. We offer our thin brick product line in 15/16″ thickness for precast panel jobs where architects are concerned with bond strength. This thickness allows these units to be further imbedded into the panels for unequaled bonding. We can also produce thin brick in the closure size (3 5/8″ x 7 5/8″ x 9/16″) along with closure corners. Our process allows us to produce thin brick up to 2″ in thickness, which provides the design opportunity of wall relief dimensions. We also offer matching face brick to complement our thin brick product line.
PACKAGING
Our Vee Brick products are stacked in cardboard trays and secured in place with a plastic strap. The cartons are then stacked on a wooden pallet. A waterproof top sheet is then placed on the pallet before being stretch-wrapped. The resulting pallet package provides the best possible protection from the weather.
COMPLIMENTARY PRODUCTS
Brick Pavers – Marion Ceramics offers brick pavers that perfectly match our Vee Brick products. Pavers come in 9/16″, 15/16″, and 2 1/4″ thicknesses.
Coping – Marion Ceramics also produces 2 1/4″ thick coping in seven of the same colors as our Vee Brick products. Coping can be used to add special architectural details to any job. In addition to pool edging, our coping shapes have been used for wall and column caps, water tables, step treads, and unique column designs.”
