New solution offers look of real brick to enhance façades

Dec. 10, 2012

ThinBRIK uses a wall system that consists of lightweight metal panels where bricks are adhered with adhesive and then secured with traditional mortar. For commercial applications, heavy-duty panels are available for bricks in a wide color palette, and are tested at wind loads of 150 mph. Modular in size, ThinBRIK is less than one-fifth the thickness of traditional brick, saving energy in production, delivery, and installation.
