Thin Brick Tiles - Demystified

What the heck are thin brick tiles, you ask? Why not just use whole bricks?




Our genuine reclaimed thin brick tiles are the faces cut from salvaged bricks.
The old bricks are cut into 1/2" slices to create thin brick tiles.

Thin Brick Tiles
Thin brick tiles are much lighter than traditional whole bricks and can be applied directly to a wall. Thin brick tiles can be used for kitchen backsplashes, interior walls, exterior paths, etc.
