This project involved upgrading the restaurant with thin brick materials, giving the building a refreshing, modern appearance. The company reported that they were pleased with the results, noting the improved look and long-lasting durability of the space.
Ambrico noted that thin brick is a versatile and efficient solution for a wide range of buildings, including restaurants, commercial properties, and large venues. The materials used are designed to resist weathering, fading, and cracking, while requiring minimal maintenance compared to traditional brick.
In addition to durability, thin brick installations can typically be completed much faster than conventional brickwork, often within days instead of weeks.

St. Lukes Hospital - Kansas City MO.
American Brick Company (Ambrico) supplies thin brick panels and mastic glue, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional brick. At St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, their thin brick veneer created the look of real masonry at a lower cost and reduced material use, while maintaining durability and elegance.
The panels, just 5/8 inch thick, were applied to the existing façade using the EZ-Wall® system—an architectural-grade, galvanized steel system with similar thermal properties to brick and mortar. This system eliminates the need for lintels, lowering project costs, and uses full-depth mortar joints for strength and a realistic appearance nearly indistinguishable from traditional brick.
Based in Romeo, Michigan, Ambrico manufactures and ships its patented thin brick panel system nationwide, offering a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes for versatile design applications.
