RECLAIMED THIN BRICK FLOORS

Bring history to life with the art and beauty of reclaimed thin brick floors! Chicago’s legacy as an American cultural icon is well-known, playing a prominent role in everything from architecture to art. With reclaimed thin brick floors from Brick Floor Tile, you can bring the spirit of the Windy City into your home or business, anywhere in the country. Reclaimed Chicago brick tiles add a unique authenticity that can’t be easily duplicated.

A One-of-a-Kind Flooring Experience

Instead of using mass-produced bricks, we combine form and function. By salvaging high quality building bricks from historic Chicago construction projects and slicing them carefully into 3/8-inch brick flooring tiles, we are able to add character and creativity to any space. Our inventory is comprised of iconic Blue Island Bricks, produced from the old brick factories located in Blue Island, on the city’s Southern edge. Originally constructed due to the deposits of clay derived from glacier activity in the last Ice Age, the area was perfect for production. With over 20 factories in use as early as the 1850s, this prolific area was among the largest for brick production in the nation. Unlike imitation brick, authentic brick creates a unique room made possible only by using reclaimed brick.

The outcome of each reclaimed brick flooring job is entirely original, blending different surfaces, colors, and patterns for a completely unique finished product. With the option to choose from smooth, uniform interior cuts and weathered, worn exterior cuts, it’s possible to create a unique authenticity that can’t be easily duplicated.

Each brick is a nominal 4 x 8 size similar to traditional flooring, making brick reclaimed tile flooring the right fit for any area ceramic tile can be used, including rustic restaurants, storefronts, kitchens, patios, museums, horse barns, or even bathrooms. These same bricks have survived the harsh Midwest winters for almost 100 years, guaranteeing durability and longevity in virtually any setting, even in high traffic areas. Thin brick flooring installs like tile and cleans like tile, too, giving you an amazing alternative to traditional options.

Reclaimed bricks are available nationwide, allowing you to capture the strength and stability of Midwest construction, no matter where you live.

For a more weathered, aged appearance, Blue Island outside cuts of reclaimed thin bricks have worn edges and may not be as uniform in shape, offering charm and character ideal for residential and commercial applications alike. Each slice is from the top exterior of the brick only, resulting in reclaimed brick flooring that is authentically worn. Outside cut orders will contain a mix of tan, buff, brown, blonde and red colors, and may also feature makers marks, names, dates, and other distinctive symbols.
