Great day at our Baltimore yard for a Masonry Day with JMT Architecture!

We recently partnered with MAPEI USA to provide attendees with hands-on experience exploring masonry materials, installation methods, and design considerations, and to gain insight into how these choices affect the appearance and performance of masonry projects.

Thank you to the JMT Architecture team for joining us and to MAPEI for helping make this educational experience possible!

Potomac Valley Brick's Kirk Taylor and Craig Linehan had a great time attending Wednesday’s lunch vendor fair hosted by ZGF Architects!

It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase some of our products, connect with local architects and design professionals, and discuss trends, materials, and current projects. 🧱

Thanks to ZGF for having us!

Potomac Valley Brick was proud to support the SkillsUSA Maryland State Championship held last Saturday in Westminster!

This event highlights the incredible talent of high school students across Maryland enrolled in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, competing in a wide range of skilled trades and disciplines. Alongside the Mid-Atlantic Masonry Association (MAMA), Potomac Valley Brick was honored to support the masonry competition. A special thank you to Kirk Taylor for his organization and leadership as Chair of the masonry program!

Congratulations to this year’s winners! We wish you the best of luck as you move on to nationals! 👏

Future architects and engineers got a hands-on look at masonry in action! 🔨

Potomac Valley Brick recently participated in a Masonry Day with students from Howard University's College of Engineering and Architecture. Skilled masons from our PVB Masonry Services team worked side-by-side with students, giving them the opportunity to get hands-on experience and explore the masonry materials they’ll soon be designing with.

We always love supporting the next generation of architects and engineers—and helping to bring classroom concepts to life in a real-world setting.
