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.

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.

Our Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

Royal Thin Brick strives to not only be a leader in the architectural industry with innovative applications and unparalleled style, but also to produce green products and remain mindful of their environmental impact.

  • All of our products and manufacturing processes are designed to use the lowest resources and energy of any thin brick manufacturer. We use the most energy-efficient production equipment in the industry.

  • We manufacture our thin brick–thin. Many brick companies cut the face off a full brick to make a thin brick – discarding the balance of the brick. This is the least efficient process from both an energy and materials viewpoint.

  • Our products are engineered for durability, longevity and sustainability, extending their life cycle.

  • Our products are listed in the mindful Materials database

  • Over 90% of the raw materials we use are mined within 50 miles of our facility.

  • Over 3,000 tons of waste clay is recycled back into production annually.

  • The heat from our kilns is also used as a heat source for our dryers.
