brick veneer
Saw an expisode of "Weekend Remodeling" on DIY the other day. They
used brick veneer to five a plain wall a great look without actually building a real brick wall. I've been trying to get an idea of what is available (colors, sizes, etc.) without going to a "dealer"... I'd much rather look on the net and get some info on my own before going to the store. Any one know any good web sites for brick veneer? Thanks, -Jay |

Thanks, -Jay Jay I can't help you with what you are seeking other than to correct your terminology so that you can search for or ask the right questions. The term "brick veneer" refers to a full sized brick that is applied in front of a framed wall as opposed to "solid brick construction" which refers to a solid masonry wall which is usually 2 courses of full sized bricks laid back to back. From your post I infer that you are looking for real of fake brick slices that are no more than 1/2" thick. I think the term you may want to use is "faux brick" or maybe "faux brick veneer".

Thanks again! |

There used to be something called "Zbrick" which was glued to the drywall and had a brick-and-mortar look to it (the 'mortar' was indented some). No idea if this stuff is available any longer but may help in your search. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * A fool and his access are soon parted. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |
