    Found the term for it after diving through a long google rabbithole:

    “Rockface Bricks”

    People seem to be confusing my title with wanting to find the type of stone, that isn’t what I wanted

    I was just looking for the name of rockface bricks before I knew they where called that

      If you’re talking about the finish on the stone, you can try searching “quarry faced stone”, “rough faced stone”, or “split faced stone” those should help.

    I think some of you are missing that regardless of whether or not this one is fake brick facing or real brick facing, he wants to know what the real bricks with that texture are called.

      Yes, thats exactly what I wanted

      I actually found it after going down a rabbithole on Google and putting in many search terms

      It is called “Rock face bricks”

    Limestone wall.

    Searched it on duckduckgo and there are a lot similar to your example picture.

      Same, although OP says they found them called “Stoneface bricks”, which I’ve never heard of.

      And I’m thinking of split face block, which isn’t brick, but this may also be a language or regional difference

    As the other comment said, that’s a façade. It’s not actual bricks, but rather pieces of stone (or, judging by the fact that these exact shapes can be found worldwide, lookalikes) that are laid onto the face of a brick/cinder block/concrete core.

    Sandstone cladding wall? Or maybe sandstone facade

    I’ve never even heard of or seen a “smooth” brick.

        Those do not look like they would feel smooth.

          It’s a matter of comparison.

          Like sandpaper grit. You wouldn’t call sandpaper smooth but you can say one grit is smoother than the other. Ergo, smooth brick.

        That’s what I was talking about when I was referring to smooth bricks

        It’s even worser when it’s those smoothly polished ones

        Smooth bricks make buildings look ugly in my opinion because smooth bricks make everything look flat and boxy while Rock face bricks give a building definition and contrast
