Canvas™ & Titanium™ Handmade Brick
Blending colors of brick is a great way to create a custom one-of-a-kind look! This home features two elegant shades of Cultured Stone® Handmade Brick - Canvas™ and Titanium™. The soft neutral tones of Canvas™ offer timeless appeal, while the sleek dark tones of Titanium™ introduce a modern edge. Both shades capture character and warmth to every wall, making this blend ideal for any space. Handmade Brick is a thin, lightweight veneer that mimics the look of full-thickness brick without needing extra foundation support. It's easy to install and adds timeless charm to any space!
"I have worked in the industry for the last 16 years, starting with Steels Industrial, driving a forklift in the masonry yard. The builder of this project, Valroc Development, described the homeowners’ desired look, and I worked with Jamie from JBL Masonry to develop a unique blend that no one else would have..."
"...I have dealt with CSI for the last 16 years and have built a great relationship with many people in the company. I consider Ruben, CSI’s Technical Sales Representative, a friend rather than a colleague, he is excellent at his job but is an even better person and family man. Natural stone, manufactured stone, brick... CSI offers it all. Every year I have worked with CSI, they have expanded their product offerings, making it a true one-stop shop for all your masonry needs..."
"...The builder requested a combination of whites and warm grays. We knew we had a winner with the Canvas™ Handmade Brick, but the mason did the real work when he experimented with different percentages of Titanium™ Handmade Brick and mortar colors. JBL Masonry started with individual pieces of Canvas™ and Titanium™ Handmade Brick and then produced multiple sample boards for the builder and homeowner to find the right combination of each color..."
"...It's a huge benefit to have the CSI team behind you! It's not just the quick turnaround time on stock but also the little things like samples, literature, and product knowledge that make my job easier every day."
- Jamie Baird, Outside Sales Representative, White Cap - Langley
"I've been working in masonry since I was 15 and am now 33! I got started with my first rugby coach and never looked back. I've never had a bad day installing CSI material, including Cultured Brick®..."
"...The product started with our builder, Valroc Development. He was building a custom home for a client and described what she was looking for. I knew CSI had the Canvas™ Handmade Brick, I just needed a darker tone. That's when I suggested Titanium™ Handmade Brick..."
"...I got multiple samples from White Cap, took them apart, and then re-created sample boards with a blend of the two. The customer was after a specific look, and as long as the mason is aware of that, it can be easily achieved. However, it's also easy to stray from that goal. Layout is crucial to maintaining a natural brick appearance..."
"...CSI has been exceptional to work with. They're very professional and always willing to help and go above and beyond. From the top boss to the forklift drivers, everyone is great to deal with. It's always a pleasure visiting CSI and saying hello.
Manufactured stone doesn't mean it’s easy to use or install. You get what you pay for with both the material and the installer. CSI has amazing products that can be wasted without proper and professional installation. But when installed correctly, the look is unbeatable..."
"...The most special moment on this project was when we finished and the client said, 'This is beyond my expectations and better than I had hoped.' That's what it's all about."
