Royal Thin Brick®
Authentic Kiln-Fired Unglazed Thin Brick
Whether it is Georgian, contemporary or any style in between, elevate your residential or commercial project with modern thin brick. Royal Thin Brick is unique – crafted and kiln-fired like traditional brick, but installs like tile and has a narrower profile and little waste. With a unique, weathered appearance and larger modern size, Royal Thin Brick gives an upscale, contemporary feel to both exteriors and interiors. Available in a wide range of shades from light gray and beige to rich reds, dark brown and black, Royal Thin Brick gives architects and designers a rich, creative color palette. Royal Thin Brick exteriors add a modern twist to a classic façade to help you create and preserve iconic buildings and residences and deliver the looks your clients are asking for. For indoor applications such as floors, backsplashes, and accent walls, Royal Thin Brick® adds a rustic, on-trend design feature.
Brick has spoken of permanence and enduring beauty since humans first learned to fire clay. From ancient settlements in Turkey to the temples of Burma and modern marvels like the Chrysler Building, brick is a timeless choice.
A Thin Brick Made with Time-Tested Craftsmanship
Authentic Kiln-Fired Unglazed Thin Brick
Authenticity – using materials that are real – is important to you and your clients. Royal Thin Brick is a flat brick product that is manufactured using the same time-tested method as full bricks: they are extruded, cut and kiln-fired at 2000° Fahrenheit. The result is a thin brick that looks and performs like a full brick and is able to withstand harsh weather and act as a proven moisture barrier. Some thin bricks are not clay masonry bricks at all, but cast, pressed or molded concrete. Some clay masonry thin bricks are cut from the face of full bricks, which is a wasteful process. Other brands also do not offer the durability and low moisture absorption of Royal Thin Brick. Durable Royal Thin Brick can withstand freeze-thaw conditions in any climate.
