Luminous grey engobe brick leads with design versatility

WYOMISSING, Pa., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Glen-Gery Corporation, a premier brick manufacturer that is part of Brickworks North America, unveiled its 2025 Brick Color of the Year, Silver City—a multifaceted, monotone, matte grey engobe brick that pulls in design cues from its natural surroundings.

"We envision Silver City as the backdrop to today's constantly evolving design trends; it's a highly versatile color with the ability to complement and blend with a wide range of hues, textures and materials. Its understated elegance and neutral, transitional tones can adapt seamlessly to different architectural styles, ensuring longevity in design choices and appealing to diverse tastes," said Denise Smith, senior marketing manager for Glen-Gery. "We also foresee grey brick becoming increasingly prevalent in biophilic design for its ability to mimic natural elements while maintaining this timeless aesthetic. For these reasons, it remains a popular choice in modern architecture."

Available in both wirecut and smooth finishes, Silver City is part of Glen-Gery's Emporium+ line—a collection of lightly coated facebrick offering premium colors and a unique finish that reflects natural light, imbuing surroundings with brightness and dimension.
