Thin Brick Installation Systems
Thin brick is a system decision, not just a material choice. Performance, moisture management, and design flexibility all depend on the assembly behind it.
Designer Metal Grid
System
Our most popular panel-based system for fast and flawless thin brick installation. The best choice for interior and exterior applications where consistency and efficiency matter. No expert masonry skills required.

Moisture Control
System
An advanced exterior system that integrates drainage and ventilation directly into the assembly. Patented for its moisture control design, it redirects 100% of water to the back of the panel, reducing risk in exposed wall conditions.

Continuous Insulation and
Moisture Control System
A complete wall solution that combines 100% moisture management with continuous insulation to meet modern energy codes. Best suited for exterior applications requiring thermal performance and code compliance.
Explore Continuous Insulation SystemThick Set System
A conventional lath and mortar installation method used when maximum design flexibility is required. This system supports irregular materials, mixed veneers and decorative patterns not suited to our panel systems.
Explore Thick Set SystemThin Set System
Similar to tile setting, this system is a direct-adhered method best used for smaller interior applications where moisture management and structural performance are not required.

Thin Brick Installation FAQ
What is the best way to install thin brick?
For many wall veneer projects, a metal grid thin brick system can help support layout, alignment, and installation speed. This can be especially useful when consistent coursing is important across larger wall areas.
What thin brick installation systems can you use?
Several thin brick installation methods are available, including a metal grid system, moisture control system, continuous insulation and moisture control system, thick set system, and thin set system.
Which thin brick system should you use for an exterior wall?
For exterior thin brick veneer, moisture management should be a priority. A moisture control system can help support drainage, airflow, weep holes, pressure equalization, and proper veneer alignment.
When should you specify a continuous insulation system with thin brick?
You should consider a continuous insulation system when your exterior thin brick assembly calls for improved thermal performance and a more code-conscious wall design. This can be especially useful for architects designing energy-efficient exterior facades.
Is adhesive used as part of a thin brick installation system?
Yes, adhesive or setting material can be part of a thin brick installation system, but it should not be treated as a standalone solution for every application. The correct material and application method depend on the system, substrate, interior or exterior conditions, and manufacturer instructions. Some systems use adhesive with metal grid panels, while thin set methods use polymer-modified setting materials directly over suitable substrates.
