Thin Brick Veneer Mortarless Panels

While visitng the plant that makes thin brick veneer I realized that there were very companies in the world that have the capability of manufacturing an alternative brick panel and while there are a few to mention, the most advanced seemed to be a Japanese based company, and yes, once again it was Nichiha.

The thin brick panels offer a serious savings over traditional brick and have a very real appearance and are surprisingly sturdy. The panels come in 6 foot lenths and are 18 inches high. They have a locking, clip system that makes them easy to install. After discussing the product with Nichiha I found that many light commercial type building is primarily where the product is being used. For example all Sonic drive ins are using this product and many reside brick jobs are now using the thin brick veneer panels.

Any architects that are looking for a mortarless brick alternative then check out the Nichiha architectural brick panels and see how it stacks up to real brick. These panels are made with fiber cement so do not rot or burn and never have to be painted or finished after they leave the factory.
