Cosmic is named for its outer-worldly marbling and is sourced from the former Danforth Baptist Church and Sunday School (originally Chester Baptist Church) in Toronto’s North Riverdale neighbourhood: a 1911 Gothic Revival building that was expanded in 1931 and partially deconstructed in 2025 after over 100 years of serving the Danforth community. We were able to save 25 tons of this special material from ending up in a landfill.
Cut from clinker bricks - known for their distinct irregularity caused when clay bricks are exposed to excessive heat during the firing process in a kiln - this product is very strong and contains a range of colours when cut open. Each brick is unique! Suitable for wall or floor tiles, fireplaces, landscaping, and other residential and commercial projects.
Price is per square foot, but may vary depending on desired finish level.
