COVID-19 Update Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. The first case of COVID-19 in the United States was reported on January 21, 2020. Health and government officials are working together to maintain the safety, security, and health of the American people. As there is no vaccine or specific antiviral treatment for COVID-19, President Trump is urging all citizens to follow the President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America.

"The Three Little Pigs” were right: brick provides superior shelter in ways other cladding materials can’t match in terms of durability, fire protection, protection from wind-borne debris and more.
Genuine clay brick is made from natural materials, is inherently recyclable and can last over 100 years. If clay brick isn’t sustainable, what cladding is?
Brick builds better value. No other material provides as much aesthetic, protective and long-lasting value as a building clad with brick.
