It is a real brick, just thin and mounted
to a mesh backing like how they do with tile mosaics.
This is really cool stuff! Because it’s so thin, you can mount in on plaster or sheetrock or wood or masonry block… basically anything without any prep work need at all. And it can be indoors or exterior. And because it’s mounted on the mesh, the installation is so fast.The directions for it say you can use standard tile mortar to install or construction glue. We opted for the construction glue in a caulk gun tube.But before I get a head of myself, before we, (my son and I worked on this project together) applied the the brick, we determined where on the wall the brick was going to start and stop. There were a few obstacles…There is a baseboard radiator heater below, and light switches to the left, and a corner on the right. So we opted to go from the baseboard heater up to the drop ceiling above for the height.
