Learn how laser engraving works and why it’s the most durable, environmentally responsible engraving option
For 35 years, Fundraising Brick has been engraving brick pavers and tiles. Our company developed the high-tech laser-cutting technology that lets us create the most durable, safest, and highest-quality engraved bricks in the market. Our laser-engraving machines allow for a virtually infinite number of fonts, clip art, custom logos, brick size and brick color combinations.
Using Cutting-Edge Laser Vitrification for Your Fundraising Campaigns
The laser engraving will last forever—we guarantee it! The brick engraving process is called laser vitrification, or just vitrification for short. The laser directs an intensely hot beam onto the brick’s surface and changes the composition of the clay into a dark, glass-like mark that stands out on the engraved brick or tile. The dark mark resembles volcanic glass and is absolutely gorgeous in natural light.
In addition to the endless design options from our laser technology, brick engraving is a much more durable and safer method of designing on the brick’s surface.
Unmatched Benefits of our Laser-Engraving Process
Durable
Brick engraving is a much more durable and safer method of designing memorial bricks. The dark, glossy mark on the engraved brick is permanent and, as a result of the intense laser beam, becomes part of the brick. Nothing additional, like epoxy fillers or paint, are used to fill in the crevices. It means bricks in your walkways and other installations last season after season, year after year.
Environmentally Safe
Our laser-engraving process is environmentally safe. Our laser machine uses intense heat to transform the surface of the brick, leaving a life-long lasting ceramic mark. This ceramic marking becomes part of the brick’s structure and allows us to ensure that any brick we sell remains maintenance free over the life of the brick and your fundraising brick structure.
Sandblasting, on the other hand, requires power tools to create a deep crevice in the brick that is then filled with a contrasting epoxy, grout or paint so that writing details are readily visible. When you chose to use Fundraising Brick for your next engraved brick project you can rest assured that you’re not only doing great things to benefit your organization, but you’re also choosing the environmentally responsible option.
