LaserBrick 

Over the years of Laser Engraving Bricks, dealing with poor quality bricks, bricks that are not the same color from batch to batch and bricks that do not always come out with a Black Glass Color after Laser Engraving, LaserSketch has developed its own LaserGrade Red Brick that engraves the same for ever brick and always gives you that Black Glass Engraving. After several years of test and in place use, LaserSketch is now offering LaserGrade Red Bricks to our dealers. They are a true Red Street Paver Brick, the type of bricks that streets all over America were built with. They will stand up to any type of weather, and the Black Glass Engraving will be there as long as the Brick is a Solid Brick.

If you want to provide laser engraved bricks/pavers for fundraising campaigns,  the first and most important thing you will need is a Brick/Paver that will last for many years to come and is legible for as many years. The cleanest and easiest method for doing the job is with a LaserGrade? Laser Engravable Brick/Paver.

Laser Engraving Vs. Sandblasting (SandCarving) Bricks:

Sandblasting bricks is a much more complicated process that laser engraving bricks. There are also risk involved; when sandblasting, bricks may chip or break away over time, causing the letters to become illegible. Often times when sandblasting, a filler is used, (paint, epoxy, ect.), to make the legible. Elements like sunlight, acid rain, foot travel and other harsh weather conditions will cause deterioration over time. If a filler is not used, moisture will get into the letters. If it freezes, or mildew/algae grows in to the text, the brick will break down over time. Here are a few additional advantages to Laser Engrave LaserGrade Red Bricks/Pavers.

  • LaserGrade Red Clay (Bricks/Street Paver) engraved bricks are permanent and will last a lifetime. The laser beam actually melts the clay and additive to the brick into glass, creating a material that is stronger than the brick itself.
  • Laser Engraving is a natural process, and even considered "Green"! No solvents, paint or other materials are needed when engraving LaserSketch's Red Clay bricks/pavers.
  • Laser Engraving bricks/pavers are low maintenance. A engraved brick/paver produces a smooth, hard and permanent mark. Dirt and debris can easily be washed away. The laser engraved mark will remain beautiful and clear for generations to come.
  • Laser Engraved Bricks/Pavers offer more possibilities. nearly any font can be used when engraving a brick. Logos, clip art and even custom artwork can be engraved into bricks/pavers, proving your customer's many options.

A common problem arrives while engraving our LaserBricks, is a white residue on the LaserBrick. The white powder is due to, to much heat, "power",  You can stop the white powder form forming by reducing the power of the laser or increase the engraving speed.

The LaserBrick on the left has the white residue after engraving, to mush heat.  LaserBrick on the right after cleaning with water and a brass brush.
