Cedartex

A warm, sun-baked heritage palette centered on rich terracotta, roasted russet, and burnt-sienna clay tones defines Cedartex of the Richtex Collection, layered with subtle khaki-buff reduction, charcoal-gray shadows, and delicate brushings of calcified white slurry wash across the face. Each brick features an authentic, sand-molded face marked by fine surface cracks, shallow kiln fissures, and organically softened, tumbled arrises that capture the time-tested charm of historic masonry without compromising straight, level coursing lines across the elevation. A classic selection for transitional craftsman homes, modern rustic farmhouses, and traditional Southern architecture, Cedartex pairs naturally with dark bronze window trim, warm cedar siding and posts, charcoal or weathered-slate roof shingles, and creamy cut limestone accents.

Manufactured in Modular size for full-depth structural masonry construction, Cedartex provides versatile design flexibility across mortar specifications. Specifying an Ivory or bright White mortar emphasizes the pale slurry veiling and frames each individual brick with crisp, high-contrast joint lines, bringing out architectural detailing such as rowlock sills, soldier courses, and arched entryway porticos. In contrast, tooling the wall with a standard Gray or warm Buff mortar softly blends the terracotta and reduction-flashed tones together, creating an understated, harmonious field with timeless curb appeal.
