OUR STORY

Arcana Materials Co. is an innovative building materials company based in Toronto, Ontario that specializes in high-quality reclaimed historic masonry products.

Founded & run by brick & stone masons who wanted to see less historic material go to waste, Arcana Materials is working towards a more sustainable construction industry through material reuse within the circular economy, the preservation of local heritage materials and architectural vernacular, and providing customers with access to a greater range of building material choices.

We are passionate about giving these special materials a new life, and strongly believe in the quality, historic value, and sustainability that these products can bring to new projects.

Our in-stock inventory includes a variety of brick, stone, terra cotta and slate suitable for both heritage and modern construction projects. We source from a local and international network to provide unique building materials for small bespoke designs and large-scale projects alike. We can design, source, and install any product you’re looking for.
