[@EduardoEscarez]

If he needs a wall build in a quick and cheap way, while the rest of the world acts like its the mightiest ever designed so he can feel better and stop doing awful things, you're correct. Trump: "This is the most powerful wall ever. The Best/Mighty Trump Wall, and is so cheap we don't need Mexico to pay for it." Mexicans: (rolling their eyes) "Yeah, sure. This is a wall for that we don't have any technology, power and abilities to break it. Clearly Sr. Trump is a very smart/powerful man, the smartest in history."

[@Crooks103]

So.. Your point is valid.. This is just very slow method of tiling..

[@hayman122]

Thinner, cheaper, annnnd probably weaker and wont last as long..

[@kamilmusalat]

Danielmeir I don’t know why it’s showing like it is something new, these kind of bricks have been used in Germany for more than twenty years and no they are fine they are just no structural element, it’s just part of cladding systems and they have been proven fine. So nothing new about that, most are stocked without that metal frame over here...... still fine though, they are just selling the system to make more money!

[@oridagan1]

The weakness of the wall doesn't really matter in this case because it doesn't really absorb any stress. Think of it as a more of a 3d wallpaper.

[@rickyr7790]

Danielmeir theyll last longer than a painted wall

[@yunan9610]

its only for aesthetics

[@fightfanian]

Also, no where near as fast to install as real brick. By the look of it, twice as slow.

[@PantsB4Squares]

Doesn't look quiker at all. Much more steps. Defiently not as strong. Did "brick it" pay you for this ad?

[@spamlord7570]

Kevin Lahens EXACTLY like you dont want to take a sledgehammer to break down your walls and install. New walls again

[@kamilmusalat]

Guys, for those in the comments who don’t seem to get it, this is not a structural element anymore in this case. Just a type of cladding or like a tile. Its been done like this but without the aluminum over here in Germany for more Than twenty years and has been proven fine, doesn’t fall off unless you take a hammer and force it. It’s nice when you want to add some style on plane walls etc

[@richardharris8399]

What I get, Kamil, is that this is somebody's attempt to reinvent the wheel. I myself have laid brick pavers and tile that looks like bricks, and I already know about the stuff. What I take exception with, is the mfr's claim that this stuff is "cheaper and quicker" than real bricks. I didn't compare this product with real brick...they did.

[@andytang8679]

yes its not structural.. its exactly what the title says.. its cheap and its thin and its pretentious.... us architects hate it.... and like builders in here say its probably alot more expensive and complicated and time consuming.... it maybe good for interior design for restaurants and shopping malls but for pure architectural design its cheap and tacky without probably being actually that cheap to install

[@Mac-zl4po]

Thanks for the knowledge and wisdom Karmel

[@GRosa250]

What's the point of the metal grid, to waste money and add extra work? If the wall is still in good condition there's no need for it. Just snap level chalk lines on the wall and glue the bricks directly to it.

[@NeoRipshaft]

Pretty sure it's structural, drywall lacks alot of the needed properties to work well for this application, since the bricks presumably have little to no structural integrity without support.

[@gazaryu238]

not really wasting money since its CHEAPER and QUICKER to install, i dont see your point, pretty sure CHEAPER and QUICKER means that it DOESNT waste money or add extra work ;v

[@joshuacarlos172]

G Rosa's talking ABOUT the METAL grid, not THE whole IDEA about IT, if you RE-READ what Rosa said you would realize THAT ;v

[@GRosa250]

Joshua Carlos thank you for clarifying my comment for the pineapple guy. I thought what I said was clear and to the point, but apparently some people have a hard time comprehending what they read.

[@GD30.06]

a metal mesh would be better and and lathering the it with one layer of mortar and laying the brick then

[@shasha8546]

this is not brick wall, this is thin brick wallpaper.

[@asantaraliner]

Because you need a normal brick to put a thinner brick, so this thin brick makes it a decor.

[@dac232009]

Im triggered by that how dare you make a video about a wall😉

[@kylesimpson05]

Thats why it's called veneer. 😒

[@movinngroovin2104]

It is brick just easy to work with lighter.

[@MountainKoi91]

Yes, but if all you want is the look and actual feel, and you aren’t needing the brick structure…. 🤷‍♀️

[@Tindog81476]

For those of you saying this will make the home more likely to be struck by lightning. Understand that no it won't. Because lightning just wants the fastest way to the ground. Which means the chance is the same, the metal would just give it an easier path to follow. If metal attracted lightning then cars should be struck all the time and never homes or businesses, and parking you car in the garage is a death sentence for your home. Because the lighting would try to get to your car, It's attracted. Also I think the video is more about a way to get that brick look on your home, without having to start at the bottom and work your way up. Which is easier.

[@Mr-Ad-196]

50Minutes finally something that make senses appear

[@appleappington7346]

Yeah I can't believe there are people in the comment section dumb enough to think it will attract lightning

[@Mr-Ad-196]

Inferno Squid yea

[@pierrebe4492]

Ok. But this whole fake brik wall concept is still useless and stupid.

[@Tommy14525]

I'm a bricklayer and I can tell you from experience thin brick costs more and it takes longer it's only benefits is it's saves space and weight.

[@Tommy-jz4lz]

This is correct. However, I did three walls of thin brick, I am not sure I could have laid three walls of real brick.

[@jjbryant62306]

I actually own a masonry company and have been in the trade for 23 years. And I've put many quotes together for both real brick and thin brick. First of all, it's not cheaper. Those metal sheets are very expensive and thin brick are more than traditional brick as well. And as far as labor goes it takes every bit as long to install that system, maybe longer. And it will eventually fail, especially if installed outside. I saw this happen on a 12 year old hotel recently costing them hundreds of thousands to replace, with real brick of course. Thin brick is only a good idea if you are installing it inside and if you do not have a solid base/foundation to lay regular brick. This is a sales gimmick.

[@marierivard4710]

Thank You fo the comment, would you suggest to just put thin brick plainly over a wall of Sheetrock? I'm trying to make an electric fireplace with surrounding brick to look like a real fireplace.

[@subzero871NL]

In holland we build with bricks and not all rooms from sheetrock i get it that this is handy when you want to give a different texture to a room but thats it

[@medjools7643]

Brick-it is a great product, in Indianapolis Indiana, I installed a 4 panel wall of briquettes from the same company, what I did was I got four 1/2 inch OSB boards cut my light sockets electric sockets out laid them on the floor in my wherehouse 3 inch screws Liquid Nails glued my briquettes to the OSB board lifted the panels after dried installed into the studs then I tuck pointed it in dark buff coloring I used 50/50, 50 Portland cement 50 mortar added my coloring hit was beautiful. Strip malls restaurants hotels a lot of different companies are using this type of system for years, meaning the size of the brick, Stone, is 1/2" this is real brick cut down, it has all the same codes as the true size just cheaper. Tuckpointing is a skill there are few tuckpointers in this country I just happened to be a tuck pointer, these guys squeezed it out of a bag, yes that's the fastest way but they didn't know how to work the joints they're called headers and bedrolls. My whole family's tuckpointers we do restoration in Indianapolis Indiana Old Brick Block Stone that's what we specialize in and we're good. What you guys don't realize that this increases the value of the house it's not wallpaper Right across from the Indianapolis Colts training center I did a 1860 one story house with four chimneys on it a shake roof two in the front two in the back about 10 feet off the roof line each they look great and we installed those chimneys with briquettes I didn't use OSB board though, I use cement board then I wrapped the chimneys with a moisture barrier briquette then tuck pointed new flashing and it look great it was a $15,000 job. And you can even do it cheaper than that I went to Home Depot in the closet area and I purchased brackets that you install a closet with, half inch by half inch, you can use as your vertical joint, it would definitely be much cheaper that way. But I wouldn't install it on the drywall because of the moisture OSB board would be better. This Tin system looks like a lot of work. I would really get educated before I start dismissing; TRUMP 2020

[@huzaifafaheem6382]

Isn't it alot more dangerous since the metal wall can conduct electricity?

[@kamilmusalat]

Huzaifa Faheem it’s aluminum.

[@JackSparrow-fl3zw]

Kamil M. You do realize that all metals can conduct electricity, but some can conduct better than others.

[@Robbya10]

Kamil M. Aluminum is literally used as electrical wire, but regardless it's not dangerous. Most commercial building use metal studs in the walls anyways. Just because something conducts electricity doesn't make it inherently dangerous...

[@Mr-Ad-196]

Robby yeah

[@bee5120]

You do know that there's already a lot of metal in your average wall even without this right? Pipes, electric circuits, and air vents/ducts are all metals that runs throughout buildings/houses that are behind walls.

[@Onionbagel]

Quicker, really?! Actually laying brick on cement could save me more time.

[@voyagertechnologies]

[@owlie1855]

[@double2trouble126]

I’m in no place and no age to even have a say, but don’t u need to place a brick put stuff on the Brick then place another? This would be easier then if I’m right, but I’m too lazy to see how people actually make brick walls

[@sanmiguel7062]

LayeredOnions it is quicker to use regular brick

[@Onionbagel]

Double2trouble laying regular brick is simple. Even a lazy person could easily do it, if they understood the procedure and technique. Heck, I'm pretty lazy myself, and if I were to do a brick job I'd choose the old fashion way instead of this time consuming mess Tech Insider is trying to promote. Edit: Yes, what you just said is exactly how most brick works are done. Fast n simple!

[@billgowland3250]

In the UK Years ago there was a similar system No metal grid involved Just stick the brick tiles to the wall .and grout Easier cheaper and quicker Just like ceramic tiling a bathroom

[@TheAllMightyGodofCod]

is it quicker? Really? did you factored in the time needed to put that metal frame?

[@SimplyHuman186]

and they have to cut each brick in many if not most cases , which ultimately takes much more time, labor, money etc... lol Sure its easy to do but a simple little wall is great. Its great for space saving in renovation maybe, and for weight limits on structures yeah. But as for being quicker? in general not at all!

[@CVenza]

The product is great! I love the brick look but my space doesn't allow for the full size brick so this would be a perfect alternative.

I would just screw cement board and thinset them in place ...that way the expansion and contraction gets relegated to a minimum and I would caulk grout the edges to add even more independent flexibility and avoid cracks and still would be cheaper and faster than whatever this guys are trying to sell lol

[@CheeseTaterson]

That's all well and good for interior walls where the bricks are purely an aesthetic choice, but for actual structural use it doesn't compare to the real thing.

[@kenwilliams3778]

Exactly. It's purpose is to make the room look like it has a brick wall when it really doesn't. Perhaps someone using this doesn't want to lose the inches real brick would take, and it's not made to be a support wall. Purely decoration.

[@Toonioni]

It's a metal Faraday cage. No cell phone signal, wifi, etc.

[@Robbya10]

A A it's not grounded so that's not true.

[@Toonioni]

Robby You don't need to dig down 2 meters to ground something. Those walls have enough earth potential, and the metal sheets touch one another, so there is a big chance.

[@rasmusjonssnnskramstad491]

that's quite smart point. This fake brick wall will probably block signals better than a real brick wall.

[@theunambiguous]

Personally not a fan, but here in the uk you can buy the brick on large boards which fix onto walls, either way I'd rather just have plastered walls personally unless it's random stone walling but if that character goes with the house then it ahould be genuine really, my opinion

[@numbronepackfan]

As a commercial masonry contractor that has managed projects using hundreds of thousands of each regular brick and thin brick, there is no comparison between the cost of the two. Thin brick tends from about $30-$35 per SF installed and regular brick is about $20-$28/SF. Regular brick is also much faster to install and has much more durability and longevity. Thin brick is a load of BS sold by the Brick It company. The brick manufacturers push thin brick so much these days because their margins are much higher on thin brick. A typical modular brick runs from $0.25-$0.80 ea, depending on manufacturer and color. That same range for thin brick is $0.75-$1.20 ea. Accessories for each are pretty comparable. There's 6.75 modular brick per SF.
