Tejas Stone by Veneerstone has always carried thin brick in their line up of manufactured stone. Tejas officials have stated that “thin brick has always been popular for interior use, especially in restaurants”.
So their Antique brick has always been a popular choice as most clients have wanted smaller (queen sized bricks) with a “tumbled or aged” look, but as the use of thin brick has grown, so has the desire for larger profiles that mimic king size brick used for exteriors.
6 story Hotel featuring Tejas Thin Brick
More and more building owners, architects and designers have realized that substantial savings can be achieved when choosing thin brick over full size brick. The installation cost can be reduced, as can foundation and wall cost as well because the lighter weight product does not require as much concrete and steel to support it.
Thin brick is also GREEN as up to 80% less product is used (over full size brick)….up to 80% fewer trucks are needed to transport the product and thin brick does not need to be hard-fired like full size clay brick, thus natural gas is not used to produce the product ! Not only is thin brick’s “carbon footprint” smaller, but It also makes the buildings footprint smaller by reducing wall thickness by 2-3 inches. This could result in savings in property taxes as well !
Tejas Stone by Pavestone has added many new colors to their line up of King Sized thin brick as well. Pictured above are Winterblend, Oaks Blend, Red w/Blk, and City Blend. Red w/blk is featured on the 6-story hotel with Tejas Stone’s thin brick !
