ABOUT BRICK SIDING
Brick siding systems give the appearance of a solid brick wall, but are actually a thin skin applied to a building which may be of timber, steel, or concrete construction. There are three main types of brick siding: flat tiles, interlocking tiles, and panels.
Flat tiles for brick siding are fixed to the wall with adhesive or mortar, with mortar then being applied to the joints as in a traditional brick wall. They give the appearance of actual brick in texture and in color, which may range from pale sand through to mid-red, dark red, and dark gray. Interlocking tiles for brick siding are designed to hang on the wall, interlocking vertically and horizontally. They require less skill for fixing than flat tiles. Brick siding panels are typically made of synthetic material, covering several square feet at a time. They can easily be fixed to timber or steel studwork, and are suitable for replacing vinyl or aluminium house siding.
