Interior brick treatments have been a growing trend for a few years now. A quick internet search shows the popularity from manufacturers and retailers.

With ThinClad and some basic tools and material, a brick interior design with a veneer wall is a reasonable alternative to paint or paneling. Because ThinClad is real brick, cut down to slim, easy to install tiles, the effect is identical to true exposed brick walls popular in refurbished urban lofts.

A bigger project that you might want to contract out is an exposed brick chimney. These are perfect for modern new homes with gas log fireplaces, that only need metal venting behind drywall. With ThinClad, it all becomes a classic, homey brick chimney. And because ThinClad weighs a fraction of what full brick weigh, this can be applied on the wall surface without needing any foundation footing like a full brick fireplace.
ThinClad brick veneer is so much lighter than full brick that a fireplace like this requires no concrete footing in the foundation. This is a new home construction, but with ThinClad anyone can turn their gas log fireplace and venting into a traditional brick hearth and chimney.
