I'm adding a room adjacent to one that has magnolia brick pavers similar to the photo below. Magniolia (out of Prairieville) no longer produces pavers. Is there an alternative i could use or should i just transition to a different type of flooring? Magnolia's pavers were about 0.75" thick and more of a tile than a true brick.

I love a well-done indoor brick floor in the right situations. I think my dream home would have that on the screened in side-porch. Lasts forever and easy to clean.

You won't ever match it perfectly coming from a different supplier. I would go for different flooring. Stamped concrete is a great, very durable surface that can be customized to looks all sorts of different ways with staining and such. I would go that route or hardwood, but then again I'm not a fan of tile (except for bathrooms), carpet, or laminates.

If you want to be truly baller, look into slate floors. My g-parents house had rough slate floors growing up that were awesome.

can't do stamped concrete because it's an existing room (used to be a small storage room/shed that i'm turning into a mud room).

As far as looks, i was thinking best case would be same manufacturer. since that's out of the picture, a clean break to something totally different would be next best instead of trying to match and being obviously not the same. the room is only 13x8 and slate may be a possibility because i'm not looking at that much SF.

I'm looking for this end product...

Floors TBD...

expensive/ best look: Used St. Louis 1/2" Pavers. It's literally a used St. Louis cut to 1/2"

least expensive option: Florida Brick and Clay Sunshine Pavers (1/2")


Try McConnell or Cocherham brick if you are in Baton Rouge. Masonry Products if you are on the Northshore or NOLA.

The new tiles that resemble hardwood look great. Would look good in a mudroom.

I would ask Magnolia for some ideas of who else did what they did.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately they confirm that it'll be impossible to match.
