Most brick have core holes that aid in the manufacturing process and improve bonding in the wall. When the mortar-bed side of brick will show such as in fireplace hearths, sills, wall-end caps, you will need a solid - a brick without the holes. It is important that the solids coordinate or match closely the cored brick. Because not all manufacturers choose to make coordinating solids, we have a recommended list of solids that can be used interchangeably with several colors. Consult our Solids Coordinating List to see which solids go with the cored brick you like.
