Brick and Block
SBI Materials offers H.C. Muddox and McNear Brick and Block products.
H.C. Muddox
When H.C. Muddox was founded in 1878, it was producing many of the sewer pipes, bricks, chimney flues, and other building materials that were used to construct the region’s original buildings. H.C. Muddox joined Pacific Coast Building Products in 1980 and now supplies a large distributor network with clay products that include standard face brick, thin brick, flue liners, pavers, pool coping, and structural brick. H.C. Muddox also offers custom shapes, sizes and colors in a range of products. Combining the colors and consistencies of the clays and firing to different temperatures brings out the variety of warm earthen tones that are the company’s trademark.

McNear
McNear Brick & Block opened up in 1868 to support the gold-fueled construction boom in San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area cities. Back then, the workers made bricks by hand and used wheelbarrows to load them onto scow schooners for delivery to the many small ports lining San Francisco Bay. The days of horse and sail are long gone, but the landmarks built with McNear products, such as Ghirardelli Square and the Golden Gate Bridge, remain. McNear Face Brick, Thin Brick and Brick Pavers are manufactured from 30%-100% Recycled Materials.
