Thin brick is a lightweight masonry veneer used on the exterior walls of homes and commercial buildings to give the appearance of traditional brick at a more affordable cost and lower impact to the environment. Thin brick, which is also known as brick veneer, is most often made from a combination of clay, gravel and cement. In some cases, recycled materials from old or destroyed buildings can be used to create the brick veneer. Made with only a portion of the components of most bricks, the cost of thin brick is much more affordable than traditional full-thickness brick. Thin Brick is also be referred to as faux brick, veneer brick, and although an incorrect description, fake brick.

For hundreds of years, people all over the world have admired the classic beauty, warmth and durability of buildings constructed out of traditional, full-thickness brick. Today, Ambrico (American Brick Company) offers the EZ Wall® Engineered Thin Brick System as an alternative for homeowners and builders wanting to achieve that same timeless look and feel in a more cost effective manner.
