WYOMISSING, PA — Pennsylvania-based brick and stone manufacturer, Glen-Gery, has declared Blue Smooth Ironspot as its 2024 Brick Color of the Year. This dark, extruded face brick not only conveys boldness but also sparkles and reflects light, making it a standout choice for modern design projects.
Denise Smith, Marketing Manager for Glen-Gery, explained the shift in design trends that led to this selection. “In 2023, we saw a prevalence of nature-inspired color and design trends characterized by warm earth tones and textures,” Smith noted. “For 2024, we anticipate a continuation of the desire to bring nature indoors, but with a shift towards bolder colors, particularly deep blue tones that add a fresh sense of tranquility.”
Smith added, “While 2024 embraces brighter shades, rich and moody colors will retain their popularity. These deeper hues will infuse spaces with warmth and comfort, while adding an elevated design aesthetic that can awaken your senses.”
Blue Smooth Ironspot is part of the Sioux City Blues Series, a collection of dark blue-black bricks. The unique luster and sheen of each individual brick come to life under varying weather and lighting conditions, adding a dynamic quality to any design project.
In 2023, Glen-Gery announced its first-ever Brick Color of the Year, the Pitt Cafe Series, helping designers and homeowners incorporate anticipated color trends into their projects. The popularity of brick as a building material stems from its versatility, timelessness, and character, as well as its durable, sustainable, and low-maintenance qualities.
With the introduction of the bold Blue Smooth Ironspot as the 2024 Brick Color of the Year, Glen-Gery continues to pave the way for innovative design trends, offering customers a fresh palette to create standout designs.
