CalStar AmbassadorCalStar Products is expanding its brick offerings with six new sizes. Like all of CalStar’s bricks, the units incorporate 37 percent recycled content and eliminate the need for kiln-firing, typical of traditional clay brick. As a result, each product requires 81 percent less energy to make while emitting 84 percent less CO2, the company says.

The new sizes comprise:

  • Ambassador brick (pictured): 2 1/4” high by 15 5/8” long; available smooth or as a split-face unit
  • Roman brick: 3 5/8” by 1 5/8” by 11 5/8”
  • Norman brick: 3 5/8” by 2 1/4” by 11 5/8”
  • King brick: 2 3/4” by 2 5/8” by 9 5/8”
  • 8×16 and 4×16 facing units: available smooth or as a split-face unit

Each is available in all of CalStar’s colors and ranges. Manufactured at the company’s new Columbus, Miss., plant, the units also are available in lighter hues.
