If you don't mind me adding something to help anyone with this project...just measure down from the ceiling and put a mark on the wall every 2 feet then chalk line it instead of using a level just because not every building is level. Sometimes it's out of level but looks right since it was measured out correctly. Nice job guys! Looks awesome.
That is a valid point. If the ceiling isn't level that 2' increment could end up off on either ends of the room. Great point! Thanks for the comment too
Thank you for this video, I bought these over a year ago and haven't put them up until now. The PL max works wonders. I'm sooo glad i found this video. Thank you...
Wow that is great news Roma! Congratulations on completing your accent wall! I'm going to show Samantha this message, she was the one who thought to use PL glue. She'll be happy to know her idea helped someone else!
3 W I wish you and the wife did travel work. LOL Everytime I watch your vids, yall just doing the dang thing. I salute this channel. Keep Charging !!!!! Good Housekeeping magazine or any magazine are you watching this ????? Time to do a live, yes I'm pressing because I want to see this channel do BIG things !!!!!
What a perfect video! It makes me feel like I can actually do this. I’m not sure what you did with the brick around the outlets though! Sorry! Single woman and I’m learning how to do projects around my house so I need every single detail! Lol
Just found you. Your instructions were great. Very clear, perfect details when needed with explanations. Hope you continue to put out content. You both did great work. Loved the wall.
Great video, got brick veneer at Home Depot, doing a backsplash in kitchen. Thanks for the electrical tip, I was wondering about how to bring electric brick forth. You all did a great job, wall looks awesome. Thanks for sharing..
But mortar is what is right for brick Grout is for tile and tile is ceramic or glass porcelain whatever not Clay 5 to 1 masonry cement and mason sand is all you need if you know what you’re doing and it’s just So So wrong to be attaching all that mesh and brick and glue and sealer and grout and whatever else to Sheetrock You’re bonding all that to painted paper covered gypsum walboard It’s wrong on way too many levels to list
Great video. Thank you for doing this. How many tubes of adhesive did you use if you dont mind me asking. I am fixing to do a backsplash and a floor with thin brick. I would like to do the adhesive option just to cut down on the mess but just curious of how cost-effective it was.
Hey! Thank you, we used about 15 tubes for this wall which was 14 1/2' long. We may have used more than is needed but better safe than sorry on the usage.
A little old, but I used this method and found you can glue 2 - 2 1/2 (maybe even 3 if you're efficient) sheets per tube. Honestly gluing is not cost efficient as each tube is $12, and I can't say how much easier glue is than mortar, but it definitely works.
This looks beautiful. My husband and I are researching for a similar project. Can you tell me which color/style of Old Mill brickwebb this is? We’re trying to decide on one and I love this.
Thank you Stephanie! It's an easy project wether you use mortar or glue but these bricks are called "Rushmore" we got them from floor and decor but I think this style is one they don't carry many in store so you may have to order them
That's a great question. Depending on the curve of the wall but I'd say no because parts of the brick will stick out around the curve and it won't look right
That's a good question. We used 18 boxes which is approx. 600lbs disbursed along 18' of wall. I check the accent wall recently and it's holding up well. We didn't make any changes to the wall. These bricks are designed to be used for accent walls
Good question, I'm actually heading over to this clients house today to quote them on another project. I'll take some photos and post them in the community tab to show what it looks like now
Would wood work where did you get the bricks from? I’m looking to do the same exact thing but with white brick was wondering if you remembered the place you bought these from?
I would like to cover my old fireplace that I’m closing the opening it’s closed up and never been used but it’s ugly caused they painted it could I glue this on top and do they have corner pieces I need and idea and the hearth is a brown paver look 🙄🤷♀️
Hey! yeah you can definitely glue these thin bricks overtop of your wall be sure to use the glue in this video. I found that to work best, also you can lay these bricks on the ground if you would like to. They do have corner pieces but I believe you'll have to order those.
Thank you for sharing!! What is the cost of this material? What if the interior wall is roughly textured, do you need to sand it off before applying the glue on its surface? Thanks!!
Can this be started from the bottom up? Wouldn’t it help for sagging? I don’t know if I caught everything you said but there’s probably a reason you started from the top down
That's a good question, it's best to start above that way you have full length piece from the ceiling down. Once you get to the final row you may have to cut the bricks in half and it's visually better to do that below than above. Also it keep mortar or glue from falling on existing pieces if you start from the top
I got the Loctite PL Ultimate Instant Grip, but for some reason it didn't work for me, It didn't dry quick and I was able to remove it after 30min, It also it's very hard on the woman's hands - very hard to work with.
I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience using PL. we used a different one from you. Mortar always works but the PL Max is the way to go. Try wearing gloves if you give it a shot next time
That's a good question. I wouldn't do so since the mortar or glue will be attached to the wallpaper so if the paper comes off so will the bricks. I'd recommend removing the wallpaper first
A chaulkline is easier than going up and down on the ladder so many times with a little level. That looks like regular sheet rock that all the glue and mesh brick sealer grout and whatever else is going over?? I have seen systems with polystyrene and metal tracks and an others but have only seen a few going right over painted Sheetrock! So your Substrate that you are working into/ bonding into is Paper??? Only in America!
@@Wouldwoodwork Thanks for the response 😊. this is the Rushmore color ? I went to the store today and it looked a lot lighter, the Rushmore color that is .Did it look darker once it went up ?kind of looks like the castle brick color 😀
@@Ryan-mm9je yeah they do come bright but I have color grading on my video also make sure you use brick sealer that will darken them " a little bit" but that is a necessary step
People start this way when they use mortar so it doesn't fall on the bricks below and stains them, also visually we find it to look cleaner to cut bricks in half and place them down low then up top. Ceilings are never squared so you'll have a lot of trouble contouring your bricks to the ceiling if you go the other way
Using that much PL on the whole wall is a bit much, i glued mine on to carboard backing, laid out insert's and studs with chalk line and screwed them in with with #8 × 1" screw's & 1/8" fender washer's. Sound's flimzy but it's nice and solid and a better option if you rent. Did this buy my self on a wall that size plus another one about half the size in 2 days, grouted

Big fan of a laser level. Also can adjust the spacing a tiny bit along the way if needed
Or laser lights
We just redid our basement wall today. This video was so important to our process. Thank you!
That's what I'm talking about! If you have an Instagram send me pictures. I'd love to see how it turned out!
You're so great at explaining how you should do every step! It looks amazing!! This is the best video!!
Yall are so good together! Thank you!!
Wow thank you so much for your comment. I needed to hear this today. Thank you for that encouragement 🙏🏾
Great video. Clear instructions. Great end results!👍
Stunning! Great job.
That outlet spacer trick is genius! Thank you!!!
It's definitely the way to go! Thanks Joe

Love that look, job done well👍👍
Thank you brother!
Great video! We are going to try this on a small wall. Wish us luck!
Good luck on your wall! I hope it turns out great!

My dawg! Came with the energy! I love it bro the moment we start traveling for projects you're first on the list 🙏🏾
I'm buying a house right now and had basement wall ideas, I like your channel, subscribed.
Awesome! Thank you!
What a perfect video! It makes me feel like I can actually do this. I’m not sure what you did with the brick around the outlets though!
Sorry! Single woman and I’m learning how to do projects around my house so I need every single detail! Lol
sick. love these videos. thanks.
Thank you for supporting the channel and watch the content brother!
this is good work. very well documented, i’d love to try doing this myself someday
Thank you! Definitely try it out!
Don’t Do It on a Sheetrock wall though
Looks great
Thank you!
Super awesome video, you guys did an amazing job! Was wondering what the square footing for the wall was??
Excellent! thank you
No problem!
Just found you. Your instructions were great. Very clear, perfect details when needed with explanations. Hope you continue to put out content. You both did great work. Loved the wall.
Your support means a lot to me! I appreciate your feedback and encouragement.
Great job on that wall.
Thank you! Are you planning on doing one?
Damn that looks great.
Great video, got brick veneer at Home Depot, doing a backsplash in kitchen. Thanks for the electrical tip, I was wondering about how to bring electric brick forth. You all did a great job, wall looks awesome. Thanks for sharing..
Just use nuts to space it out, and of course a longer screw, it will be solid this way.
Looks great, I'm thinking of doing Pl with tile. Like you say mortar is a mess
Beautiful! And it's easier than the mortar which stops me from using brick. Thanks for sharing.
no problem! I'm glad this helped out, I was oblivious to the glue option until Sam mentioned it. It was a great idea!
@@Wouldwoodwork I thought about glue before but was scared to try it. You tried it for me. Thanks 😄😄😄
@@Jenny-dv2tr 😂😂 make sure you guys this Version of pl glue the other stuff isn’t strong enough lol
But mortar is what is right for brick Grout is for tile and tile is ceramic or glass porcelain whatever not Clay 5 to 1 masonry cement and mason sand is all you need if you know what you’re doing and it’s just So So wrong to be attaching all that mesh and brick and glue and sealer and grout and whatever else to Sheetrock You’re bonding all that to painted paper covered gypsum walboard It’s wrong on way too many levels to list
Well done
Thank you Eric
Honestly fan of this channel other than the miscegenation but nice masonry!
Great video, well done explanation very thorough. thanks.
Is it more expensive using adhesive than thinset?
How many boxes did u use?
Great video! Can you share what Mason's mortar you used, please. I wish to use off-white as opposed to the traditional grey.
Hey thank you! We used mapei white color grout. We didn't use mortar for the wall we used PL Max Glue
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
16:20 - I just find a nut to place over the screw to bring the outlet out.
😂😂 or that works too
Where did you get the bricks? I’m looking for bricks this color for my kitchen but didn’t want red brick.
Great video - thank you! Can I ask what brand and color brick you used for this? I really like the color. Thanks!
Great video. Thank you for doing this. How many tubes of adhesive did you use if you dont mind me asking. I am fixing to do a backsplash and a floor with thin brick. I would like to do the adhesive option just to cut down on the mess but just curious of how cost-effective it was.

what you did and the base, did you put grout between the floor and the brick? or leave it to breath and expand?
This looks beautiful. My husband and I are researching for a similar project. Can you tell me which color/style of Old Mill brickwebb this is? We’re trying to decide on one and I love this.
Thank you Stephanie! It's an easy project wether you use mortar or glue but these bricks are called "Rushmore" we got them from floor and decor but I think this style is one they don't carry many in store so you may have to order them
Awesome! Thanks so much!❤
Do you have a link to the brick you used or what color it is? Looks great!
This is Rushmore thin brick. I got it at floor and decor
Great video!
What company did you use for the thin brick?
Brickwebb by Old Mill Brick
Hi, I’m new to your channel you did an awesome job. Where can I find those thin bricks?
Thank you!! I picked them up at floor&decor they are Rushmore bricks
Please tell me which grout’s color did you use in this video. Thank you
We used white or blanco for the grout color
Great Video, would this work for a curved wall ?
That's a great question. Depending on the curve of the wall but I'd say no because parts of the brick will stick out around the curve and it won't look right
3:38 I use this glue myself mate I leave it by the heater for 30-60 mins before using your hands will thank you for it.
yoooo that is sooo smart! Thanks!
Do you have to strengthen a wall before gluing so much brick? I know it's thin, but it's still gotta be hundreds of lbs, right?
That's a good question. We used 18 boxes which is approx. 600lbs disbursed along 18' of wall. I check the accent wall recently and it's holding up well. We didn't make any changes to the wall.
These bricks are designed to be used for accent walls
I know it’s only been 5 months but how has it held up using the glue instead of mastic.. has it settled or anything?
Good question, I'm actually heading over to this clients house today to quote them on another project. I'll take some photos and post them in the community tab to show what it looks like now
Would wood work where did you get the bricks from? I’m looking to do the same exact thing but with white brick was wondering if you remembered the place you bought these from?
Yes, the brick style is Rushmore and I picked them up at Floor & Decor
Another suggestion, use a lazer not a level for your bench mark
That's for the suggestions. Client loved the rest it turned out in the end
Did you ever try using water while cutting the brick to minimize dust? I’m about to do the exact same project in my home not as big.
No I haven't not, we cut the bricks outside but water will definitely help
I would like to cover my old fireplace that I’m closing the opening it’s closed up and never been used but it’s ugly caused they painted it could I glue this on top and do they have corner pieces I need and idea and the hearth is a brown paver look 🙄🤷♀️
Hey! yeah you can definitely glue these thin bricks overtop of your wall be sure to use the glue in this video. I found that to work best, also you can lay these bricks on the ground if you would like to. They do have corner pieces but I believe you'll have to order those.
Thank you for sharing!! What is the cost of this material? What if the interior wall is roughly textured, do you need to sand it off before applying the glue on its surface? Thanks!!
no it would actually be better if your wall is textured. Some times the glue will have a hard time sticking to a smooth surface.
Can this be started from the bottom up? Wouldn’t it help for sagging? I don’t know if I caught everything you said but there’s probably a reason you started from the top down
That's a good question, it's best to start above that way you have full length piece from the ceiling down. Once you get to the final row you may have to cut the bricks in half and it's visually better to do that below than above.
Also it keep mortar or glue from falling on existing pieces if you start from the top
@@Wouldwoodwork ahh good thinking thanks bro 😎
Wouldn’t the wall / plaster board / screws etc not be rated for the weight you’ve added ?
Good question, it's thin brick and the wall is holding up well. Here in GA I don't believe there's a specific code for this
I got the Loctite PL Ultimate Instant Grip, but for some reason it didn't work for me, It didn't dry quick and I was able to remove it after 30min, It also it's very hard on the woman's hands - very hard to work with.
I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience using PL. we used a different one from you. Mortar always works but the PL Max is the way to go. Try wearing gloves if you give it a shot next time
We are installing Rushmore Brickwebb on our fireplace. What color grout did you use here?
We used the Blanco grout or white. Grey blends a little too much with the brick
Can you do this on a painted wall or do you need to sand the wall down?
yes, this wall was painted before installing
Can you install thin brick over wallpaper?
That's a good question. I wouldn't do so since the mortar or glue will be attached to the wallpaper so if the paper comes off so will the bricks. I'd recommend removing the wallpaper first
How do you hang pictures?
Most people let the wall be the focal point but you can nail through the grout
What was the cost to do this.
A chaulkline is easier than going up and down on the ladder so many times with a little level. That looks like regular sheet rock that all the glue and mesh brick sealer grout and whatever else is going over?? I have seen systems with polystyrene and metal tracks and an others but have only seen a few going right over painted Sheetrock! So your Substrate that you are working into/ bonding into is Paper??? Only in America!
great choice! you home will thank you as well lol
Cost?
Thin brick is a hefty premium. Anywhere from 1k to 3k based on your wall would be material cost
If you don’t mind me asking but what’s the cost of the bricks for this particular wall ?
just around $900- $1,200 bucks for all material
Does the sheet come attached to the brick or did you guys do that ?
The sheet comes attached but you can also purchase single bricks which you'll need for the top or bottom as well as the edges of your wall
@@Wouldwoodwork Thanks for the response 😊. this is the Rushmore color ? I went to the store today and it looked a lot lighter, the Rushmore color that is .Did it look darker once it went up ?kind of looks like the castle brick color 😀
@@Ryan-mm9je yeah they do come bright but I have color grading on my video also make sure you use brick sealer that will darken them " a little bit" but that is a necessary step
How many glue tubes for this wall?
We used at least a box and a half I believe, if that's too much you can stick with mortar but its very messy
I thought you had to start from the bottom!
You can but it was easier to lay the final bricks at the bottom
Try heating the glue up before using.
That's a smart idea I'll try that out next time.
You should've center ur bricks so both ends r equal ..if u haven't noticed ur left side has very small pieces
Crazy 5 days. I guess I am not that slow lol
Why did you start from top to bottom instead of bottom to top?
People start this way when they use mortar so it doesn't fall on the bricks below and stains them, also visually we find it to look cleaner to cut bricks in half and place them down low then up top. Ceilings are never squared so you'll have a lot of trouble contouring your bricks to the ceiling if you go the other way

Invest $200i n a pnuematic chalk gun and compressor to save your forearms!!!
I didn't even know that existed!!
Thanks!
@@Wouldwoodwork me ither until my firearms locked up. harbor freight $25 air gun. Buy a good portable compresser on wheels
@@kevreilly7 lol nooooo! Yeah I may look into that for sure
Key note never grab a outlet from the sides rookie mistake ,your lucky that was only 110 and not 220, next time turn the power off your not a pro
Hahah thanks for the tip... definitely not an electrician
Hey dirtbag you don’t have to be rude !!
Nice job. Silicosis is the scientific term for what happens to your lungs from breathing the dust.
Thanks for the info!
Looks awesome
