Advantages of McNear Brick & Block Thin Brick
McNear Brick & Block is known across North America today for its beautiful thin brick products, including its BrickFast Panel system. The BrickFast system is fast and easy to install, working much like other exterior cladding systems. McNear thin bricks are specially designed to attach to 4x4 galvanized steel BrickFast panels. Simply apply construction adhesive, then slide the slots on each thin brick over the steel tabs on the panel system, creating a strong mechanical bond. When finished with grout, bricks can only be removed when broken out in pieces.
Fast & Accurate Results
How much does the BrickFast Panel System speed the bricklaying process? A two-person installation crew can typically install 1,200-1,400 square feet of panels per day, placing and grouting 400-500 square feet of brick daily. BrickFast panels also do not require an underlying stucco coat, further reducing installation time.
A Lasting, Sustainable Choice
McNear Brick & Block products are made from 40-90% post-consumer recycled waste, intercepted before deposit in area landfills. In addition to recycling construction waste, McNear, offers an amazing warranty, keeping their product in use for the long-term. The company provides an unsurpassed 101-year warranty from the date of purchase, guaranteeing their thin brick products to be free of defects in materials and workmanship when professionally-installed.
