Advantage Thin Brick.
Every ADVANTAGE over conventional masonry.
Advantage Thin Brick gives you the look of traditional masonry without the hassle of expensive lintels, heavy foundations and structural supports. Why? Because Advantage Thin Brick weighs only 10 lbs. per square foot when factory applied to light gauge structural steel frames.
Advantage Thin Brick panels reduce maintenance expenses. Composite panels are significantly thinner which allows for more leasable floor space. Also, the potential maintenance problems of moisture penetrating through the wall or the unsightly appearance of white stains caused by efflorescence are forever eliminated. Thin Brick panels from ADVANTAGE give you all of this and more.
Strength ADVANTAGEs
Advantage Thin Brick gives you a richer look than traditional masonry. The color-coordinated mortar of each panel emphasizes the beauty and distinction of the kiln fired brick. Severe weather grade brick (TBX) also prevents the occurrence of brick face spalling. It has been designed, engineered and proven by the test of time.
A base substrate of Fiber Reinforced Cement Board provides a non-flammable foundation. Panel surfaces are coated with a specially formulated, UV stable, structural epoxy to provide a solid bonding matrix for 1/2" thick clay fired brick or tile. The epoxy also forms an impervious barrier to moisture. Without moisture, efflorescence is eliminated - guaranteed!
What does this mean to you? Long life and low maintenance walls.
Attractive ADVANTAGEs
Advantage Thin Brick comes in a variety of colors and textures, and can be applied in any pattern you can imagine.
Architectural distinction can be accomplished by incorporating other products offered by ADVANTAGE onto the same panel.
These accents may be cast concrete sills, bullnose copings, quoins and accent bands of crushed granite, marble, stucco, Owens Corning Cultured Stone, or granite panels and accents.
It's your choice. It's freedom to design. It's Advantage Thin Brick.
Time Saving ADVANTAGEs
Advantage Thin Brick. The choice is easy. So is the installation. It allows you to reduce construction time and stay on schedule. Installation is possible even during cold or inclement weather without tenting. Factory finished wall sections deliver in a ready to hang condition with no additional on site touch-up or assembly required.
An "average" five man installation crew can install as much as 3,200 square feet of wall area in a single day, while the same number of masons can only lay approximately 450 square feet of Advantage Thin Brick. In addition, wall thicknesses are reduced to only 7 inches and perimeter framing readily accepts batt insulation and interior drywall. Depending upon design, many window and door openings may be factory framed and ready to receive other finish materials. With time savings as great as these, it's time to give ADVANTAGE a call.
