THANK YOU ! ! ! This video, nor anything half as comprehensive, existed a year ago when I started planning a lounge in our house. This is exactly what I want to do in our lounge. The only reason I didn't pull the trigger was because there were no DIY videos available at the time, and the professionals can be tight lipped about installation (they want you to contract them for the job). This video basically confirms what I expected... but now I won't have to wonder if I am making a mistake and ruining expensive material. AWESOME !

Installation guides say to use a scratch coat of thin set and then a bonding coat on the brick itself; however, it seems a lot of people are using the really advanced adhesives (liquid nails, loctite, etc) and having great results without the hassle. I've prepped two walls in my basement and plan to use the same approach. Looks great!

Is the mortar more workable than sanded grout? The people at Mapei strongly recommended applying a sealer on the brick prior to grouting to protect the brick from staining. Have you had this issue at all or does the mortar not cause staining the way grout could?
@HomeProHero7 ай бұрын
The mortar is pretty firm when it's applied. If it begins to leave the channel and drip on the face of the bricks it's too wet. It dried extremely fast because the bricks are sucking out the water. I would be more concerned if the bricks are sealed they won't suck the water out of the mortar maybe causing a weak bond between the brick and mortar. I would only seal the bricks once the mortar is applied and tooled and maybe only if it was a backsplash in a kitchen. Thx for watching!

So I LOVE THIS!! I am excited to try! Can i do this type of brick on outside of house on back porch. Tbh- my dog ate the vinyl off and I want to put something up that she wont eat. (She is now officially an inside dog)

Yes it's outside rated! I think there are other videos on YT that explains the process of installing it on the outside of a house. Thanks for watching abc good luck!

If the thin brick is being installed in a bathroom reno over purple sheet rock, does the sheet rock need to be prepped as in mudded, taped, etc? Thanks!
@HomeProHero3 ай бұрын
If it were up to me, I probably wouldn't bother unless I already had the tape and mud on hand. Once you apply the brick to the wall and mortar it, it creates a strong seal that is both secure and water-resistant. Thanks
@babydee37963 ай бұрын
OK, thank you so much. That’s kind of what I was thinking too why I bother taping the mud and then going to all that trouble when I’m gonna put brick over thank you and what a great video you created. I certainly appreciate it. I watched every second of it and learned so much.

Great video, thank you. Can we use thin bricks on a dry wall project?
@HomeProHero Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! Yes, absolutely you can install on drywall and I have! I have a KZbin Short Video on installing it as a backsplash and also there are several pictures in this video (bathroom, bar and game room) where they all had drywall. If you install on drywall you can save some money on just regular liquid nails - i had to use the landscape version of liquid nails for this video since I was gluing it to concrete! Take Care HPH

Can you tell me how to finish an open edge? One that doesn’t butt up to another wall? Thank you!
@HomeProHero11 ай бұрын
Yea they sell the corner pieces and also flats that I used in this video. The corner pieces wrap the edge on both sides. If I had to wrap a corner I would start on the corners and dead end into the wall on the other side. Hope this helps!

Hey how would you handle a corner just put a grout line in between two bricks at 90 degrees?
@HomeProHero Жыл бұрын
Thx for watching! If it's a inside corner you can just grout the corner like you stated. If it's an outside corner they sell a box of thin brick corner pieces that wrap around the outside corner that makes it look like a full size brick. I didn't have any corners on this project but I did in my gameroom and they looked great.

I have 20 ft tall dry wall ... will the wall support the weight of the brick?

I don't see why not. It's not heavy at all. I just posted a new thin brick video on installing on drywall - check it out

Will that adhesive stick the brick to textured and painted drywall?
@HomeProHero Жыл бұрын
I would use regular heavy duty liquid nails. Test a piece apply it to the wall. Check the next day and if you really have to pull or pry it off you are good! I think it will work fine!

For sure I have done that all over my house. Just use regular liquid nails not the landscape stuff I used in this video. I just put out another thin brick video where I applied it to drywall check that out. Thx for watching

What kind of strips? Love your video.
@HomeProHero Жыл бұрын
Thank you! The wood strips can be anything. I think I just found some 3/4 wood in the garage and ripped it down to size. The cheaper the better it ended up as fire starter after that project! Make sure u subscribe for more got some really neat stuff coming!

I am currently working on a thinbrick wall with brickweb. I have never done anything like this before and had a hard time getting my bricks to break correctly. I scored a deep line in them before trying to break with a hammer and they were still not breaking in the right spots and wasting bricks.
