The Thin Set system is very similar to the Thick Set system; however, there is no need for a scratch coat and self-furring galvanized metal lath. The adhesive is applied directly onto a dry substrate. It is not recommended for damp surfaces.
Although the Thin System is not complicated to install, it requires more masonry skills, lengthens installation time, and demands more knowledge compared to using one of the metal panel Brick it™ systems. These systems are easier and quicker to install, require less clean up, and create perfectly aligned bricks with less effort and skill.
