Elgin Plant

Strategically located near rich deposits of natural earth clays – and the major metro areas of Texas – Acme Brick Company’s Elgin Plant has been satisfying the requirements of architects and building owners for decades. In recent years, a vigorous product-development program has expanded the plant’s selection even further. Our products now include:

Versatile, economical thinBRIK in all standard colors and most standard sizes.
Blade Cut texture, a sophisticated alternative to the traditional wire cut (“velour”) texture.

The colors reproduced here are the best that technology can offer, but ask your Acme sales professional for physical samples before making selections.

Execute your boldest designs – sharp corners, dramatic shadows, stately columns, soaring arches - entirely in brick. Acme Brick’s Elgin Plant maintains a comprehensive special-shapes program that includes arches, bullnoses, caps, coping, coves, radius units, shelf angles, slope sills, soldiers, watertables, and more. For a gallery of commonly produced special shapes, consult the Acme Brick Pocket Guide to Brick Construction, available from your Acme representative or downloadable here as a PDF file.

For the ultimate degree of design freedom, specify your own custom shapes, manufactured to order according to your exact specifications. Working directly from architectural plans, Acme’s special-shapes team will collaborate with the design team to develop drawings for each shape needed, as well as elevations, exposed surfaces, dimensions, estimated quantities needed, and pricing. Keep in mind, however, that it is also possible to achieve striking effects using only standard shapes executed entirely in modular brick. You can rely on the sales, technical, and manufacturing teams at Acme Brick to help you strike the perfect balance of aesthetics and value.
