Check out this other Thin Brick Video: th-cam.com/video/0qbbr2Fi7CQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WOpT0JJFBUz6rV6N
Hands-down one of the very best DIY videos I've ever watched. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find on TH-cam. Clear Photography (picture is worth 1,000 words), all major questions addressed pre-emptively, and even the cost data at the end. SO well done. Thank you!!
Thx for watching glad it was helpful! Feedback appreciated also take care!
Yep,,,this guy was on point. I just finished my wall spot on because of him.
Well done video!
We did our bathroom a few years using all the same ideas, this round as we plan out our kitchen thank you for sharing the hammer Chisel lol, that will save all the wet saw cuts!! And adding the liquid nails to many bricks at one time will be so much faster!!!!
Great video. I'm getting ready to mortar my joints and this video was very helpful. Thanks man for a well made and very informative video that gets straight to the point.
That's great & thank you for the feedback! I love the look of the thin brick and everyone that comes over loves it too! Take care and thanks for watching!
Love this guy's videos.Absolutely no BS and a complete absence of ear-splitting Techno.Watching the way he just gets to the essentials without interminable,and completely unnecessary,details has encouraged me to take on several projects that I probably would not have done.Keep up the excellent work.
Thx for watching and I appreciate the comments! Take care!
By far the best video on how to install thin brick. This video helped a lot. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! It's a great product!
Great video! Right to the point without all the extra commentary! 👍🏼💪🏼
Thank you I appreciate you watching! Be safe
I think it looks great.
The wife and I would like a brick wall in our house too. This gives me a fair idea of how to tackle it. Thanks.
It's really a great product! Honestly it looks much more intimidating. It pretty easy and really can't screw it up. Lots of forgiveness with the mortar. Only downside is it's a little expensive :( Thx 4 watching!
@homeprohero
I really want to thank you sincerely for this video. We are just about to order this exact brick from Lowes in the Carbon color. We want to do an fireplace that my husband just built with it. This video is so helpful and just so well done!!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! God bless you for taking the time to show others how. You are very much appreciated!!!😊
Thanks for watching! It's a great product you will love it like we do!
Awesome job. Followed instructions completely. Thanks for sharing
Glad it helped! Great product! Take care!
This is a great reference video. We had a brick wall professionally installed, but I’m now doing another one myself. This really helped me. The grouting is the part I’m not looking forward too. But I used adhesive mix and was concerned about consistency and got it right first time which took the stress away. Much more expensive brick slips in the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks for watching! Yea the grouting is a little intimidating but honestly its super easy and hard to screw up! Plus its the best part becuase its done! Take care!
Oh yes. Thank you for this video. And your service to our great country!
Thanks for watching and God Bless the USA! HPH
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 !
Glad the video helped! Good luck with your project and it looks harder than it really is! HPH
Excellent! Doing my brick wall behind my wood stove tomorrow!
Have fun! Thanks for watching it's a great product!
I like this guy.You address issues that really matter and fluff off ones that dont...unlike other diyers,worried about every minor thing.Awesome work.watched this to see your grout technique...awesome
Thanks for watching! Yeah its tough making DIY videos becuase everyones skill level are all over the place. Getting the hang of it glad you like the video its a good one and a great product!
Followed your video and mine turned out amazing!! Thanks bud
That's great! I love this stuff! Glad I could help!
Thankyou,informative,you might have just saved my life
lol Thanks for watching! Great stuff I love thin bricks!
THAT LOOK SO AWESOME!!!

Thx for watching! Love this product such a great look and really easy too! Good luck
How did your fireplace sleeping tuen out? I’d love to hear how you did it.
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching! Great product!
Looks awesome! I purchased three full boxes of facing brick at the good Will. Seven dollars a box. I'm going to use them until I run out around my sink area. If I don't care for the reddish look, I'm going to give them a white wash with chalk paint and then seal all of it. I loved your video. Very well explained. Thank you
That's a great idea! I love white brick looks so good! Thanks for watching!
Looks really good mate. Good job 👍🏻

Thx for watching!
This is amazing video and you did such great job on explaining everything in details! Quick question! Where did u actually get your thin bricks from?
Thank you for the nice comments. I bought them at Lowes but I have seen them at Home Depot also. The color is Stillwater :) Thx!
Great video man
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching take care!
@@HomeProHero You're most welcome
Egy kicsit más nyelven Változatosság képen. :) Köszönöm a videot. 👍
Köszönöm, hogy megnézted a videókat! Feltétlenül iratkozz fel a továbbiakért :) HPH
Great video and very informative, rustic bricks are on the wall but was shitting it when it comes to the pointing for times and consistency of the mortar mix, will be using a gun, but the bags look better 👍
Thank you! I felt the same way about the mortar the first time and it really is super easy and forgiving! Take care!
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!
Thanks for the comment! It can be done either way as you noted but the cleanup is a heck of a lot easier with the adhesives! That grout really tightens everything up! Good luck with your projects the look is awesome!
Adhesives allow for super easy start/stops than dealing with mixed thinset.
Hi Did you do the brick slip installation ? What adhesive did you use ? Thanks.
Indoors I’d say the adhesive is fine. I used these outside on a BBQ and I just the thinset
Nice
Thanks for watching!
good insight cool video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thx
Smart 😊😊😊
Yes sir! Easy project just a little messy!
Great tutorial! I like your process. What color brick did you go with?
Thanks for watching! General Shale - Stillwater Brick ➔ www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=thin+brick+stillwater
Thanks so much for this easy to follow video. I'm from Indiana as well...little 'ol Avilla. I currently live in Massachusetts and everything is so expensive so I love DIY projects. I want to cover the cement foundation portions of my house. Can I use these same materials and steps for exterior foundation project? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I think everything is expensive here too :) I think you could for sure use the exact same process. Likely look great too! The thin brick and mortar is the exact same material you see with real brick installs. Using that landscaping Liquid Nails should do a good job holding the thin bricks tight to the concrete foundation. I have used that LN on exterior landscaping blocks and it work great and held. Take care
Great video! I've been wanting to add a brick finish on a wall in a powder room, and I've looked at the faux brick panels as an option, but I think this gives a nicer finish. Is the process the same on a drywall surface vs concrete? And did you use furring strips as your ledger board & spacers? Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Thx for watching! It's the same process I just launched this video of me installing on drywall: How to Lay Thin Brick Like A PRO! #homeprohero
th-cam.com/video/0qbbr2Fi7CQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this very thorough video! I've been wanting to find a video like this. NICE WORK! IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! ❤❤
I have a question for you. I would like to have those type of bricks put on the bottom of my cinder block foundation around the outside of my house, but the previous owner painted the cinder blocks. Is there anything additional that I will have to do to the comcrete cinder blocks being they're painted to make sure the bricks stick to the concrete cinder blocks?
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure if you will need to strip the pain of the cinder blocks. I would get a thin brick and adhere it the block. give it a few days and see how hard it is to pull off. If it comes off easy I would contact a paint store about a stripper to remove the paint. I bet you won't have to strip the paint and i think that thin brick is a perfect application for your idea! Thanks HPH
Thank you SO much for this. This is the clearest video I've seen on this. I've been going back and forth for over a year about whether I should attempt this myself or have someone do it for me, and this actually makes me think I can handle it. I'm doing an interior wall in my home. Right now, it's just covered with a coat of paint. Do you have any tips for prepping that? Should I just strip the paint and let loose?
Thanks for watching! Drywall is even easier than the concrete wall I showed in the video! Use regular heavy duty liqiud nails. No additional prap at all. I have done several areas in my home that were just drywall and no issues at all :) Good luck and if you do your project send me a finished pic! Take Care HPH
@@HomeProHero I absolutely will. You're a life-saver. Genuinely. Thank you!!
Great video man! Thank you! It helped a lot.
Looks like the most gross cake icing ever
Glad you liked it! Lol take care
I done this to my kitchen island. It’s not probably good enough for a professional but for me it works. I kinda like all my imperfections, it just adds character is how I look at it, but I’m never selling my house, I’ll die here. 😂❤
Yeah you don't have to be too picky no one ever notices besides yourself! Thanks for watching!
Great job this is beautiful!! What would you recommend to bond brick to dry wall? Would that adhesive work as well?
Funny you mentioned this! I will have a video out within the next 4 weeks showing me installing the thin brick on drywall around a fireplace. Than I'm painting it black! Regular liquid nails works fine!
I appreciate your thorough video. I’m planning on redoing my fireplace which currently has 12x12 tile, and your instructional cierro will help me a lot. Do you think I can adhere the brick to the tile, or would I have to remove the tile first. I can’t seem to find answers to this question anywhere. Thank you!!!
Lol I have a thin brick video coming out on Sunday when I apply it to a fireplace! Regarding ur tile I would stick one brick and wait 24hrs to see how it sticks. If it's hard to get off it's a go. If it comes off easily tear off the tile. I think it will stick to the tile! Thx for watching
New subscriber. Thanks for this video as I've been looking really hard at thin brick and wanted to see others application and end result. It looks really great. Would you recomment it as a kitchen backsplash though?
Thanks for the sub! It's really simple I was a little intimated at first but it's not any harder than wall tile - maybe easier. It will working in the kitchen I put it in my wine bar which is similar to a kitchen. I have a video tour on the bar and it shows the thin brick there. Good luck!
@@HomeProHero Thanks! I'll check out your bar video. 😃
Excellent video. I believe you mentioned it, but I would like to confirm. Can we place it directly on the drywall?
Thx 4 watching! Yes you sure can apply it to drywall and you can downgrade to just regular heavy duty liquid nails. I have applied it but concrete and drywall no issues :)
Excellent video! Can’t wait to tackle it myself. What did you do once you got to the ceiling? Mortar between ceiling and the top brick? I’m considering doing nickel gap ceilings. Would you recommend doing the ceiling first then the wall?
Thx for watching! I just used masking tape on the ceiling and used the same mortar between the ceiling and the last row of brick - clean look. Yep you want to do that ceiling first and that's what I did in the home office I have videos of. By putting the ceiling in first the brick will keep the ceiling from being unsupported, maybe sagging, on the edge where it meets the brick. The transition will be cleaner between the two if the ceiling is installed first. Take care!
@@HomeProHero great, thanks man!
Fantastic video. Assume I can use a sand/cement mix to point them up rather than the premixed that you used?
Yea it's pretty much the same ingredients but honest the pre-mixed mortar was the cheap part. The thin bricks 🧱 are salty! Thx for watching
Great video! Just about to tackle a similar project putting thin brick on a cinder block wall. The only difference is my thin brick has ridges on the back and not flat so need to make sure the adhesive covers both areas of the brick. Will the adhesive still stick even though the cinder wall is painted? I presume it’s so strong it’ll stick to anything! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I'm pretty sure it will stick but what i would do is what it did in the video. Stick one on the cider block wall, let it dry for a day or two, than try to break or pry it off. If its tough to get off its a go! Its a great product! Good luck!
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!
Hi, great how-to vid.
I never thought to use loctite because I figured it would be too expensive. About how many bricks can you do with one tube?
Thanks for watching. I did 10 boxes with 2 large tubes of Liquid Nails and I likely used more than needed. Its the cheapest part of the project, less messy than mortar, and is simply easier and quicker. Take care
What kind of strips? Love your video.
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!
It looks really great! I could not see if you used baseboards. Is it even possible to use baseboards?
Yes, absolutely! I used baseboards in my bathroom and it's even easier as long as the baseboard is level. Just stack them on top. Thx for watching!
Hi, great video. Can you apply the liquid nail adhesive to brick directly on primed drywall? Any other prep work that helps adhere to drywall? I really do not want to use lath with scratch coat.
Thx for watching! Yes I did many walls that were just drywall. I used regular liquid nails ( blue labeled bottle) with no problem at all. Works great no lath required it's really not need there's not much weight to thin bricks.
If i may adds a couple of ideas for the rookies out there: i used a scale and stayed around 2-3lbs for weight due to MY age and was around 1-1.5 cups for water.
Too solid is better than too runny.
Cutting the bag at an angle and proper size is important.
I used a tomato cage in a bucket with alligator clips for the mortor bag. Used a couple clothespin at the cone to keep it closed.
Thx again and good luck everyone
Thanks for the tips and watching!
@@HomeProHero wez not all badazzes like you😉
I might suggest that thinset adhesive mortar of your choice of colors and applied with a 3/8 notched trowel will go a lot faster provided you can mix it to a uniform and plastic consistency. When the thinset gets dry enough, you can thumb it or brush it, and there won't be a need for grout. Just don't smear up the face of your brick with the mortar.
I like using the adhesive seems to be quicker than mixing up mortar and cleaning up the mortar afterwards. Less waste too and its the same thickness every time! With that said either way works fine! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I'm doing this for a fireplace surround, but since it has corners would you start on the corners first or would you start from the center point and work your way out to the corners and cut them as needed?
Thats a good question! Thanks for watching. I'm guessing you are using the corner bricks provided by the manuafacture. If it was me I would start in the middle and work my way out to the corner pieces. Then cut the bricks between the corner and the last full brick in each row. I think the center of the fireplace is the most visual area for most people and you can hide those cuts at the corners better. Hope this helps and thin brink is a great application for your fireplace! HPH
@@HomeProHero yea this is kind of what I was thinking as well. I know you spaced eat brick out using 3/5 inch spacer but what was the width of the long piece of wood you used horizontally roughly? Looks great man and thanks for responding!
As soon as I heard you were a veteran, I hit the sub button. Thank you for your service, from a Marine wife!
This is a great video. It's going to help me immensely! Your finished project is stunning!
Thank you and thank you to you and ur hubs for your service! Thin brick is a great look you will love it!
Great video, thank you. Can we use thin bricks on a dry wall project?
Thanks for watching! Yes, absolutely you can install on drywall and I have! I have a TH-cam 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
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I will start my dry wall project asap.
There you go! You can do it!
I’m putting this on a finished plasterboard wall in my kitchen, should I still use the landscape loctite adhesive rather than the extreme liquid nails one I got?
Regular liquid nails or extreme will work well! Good luck with your product!
Great video. Did you use only one mix for the grout to do the whole wall or did you run out and have to mix more?
Thx for watching! I did one mix for sure. Now on other areas of my house I used multiple and I could tell no difference from the other coats after it all dried. Thx
@@HomeProHero Nice. You really did a great tutorial here. Got me started on my wall.
Thx again. Good luck!
I love brick walls but all I see is the faux brick which doesn't look good to me. This looks fantastic! I'll do my wall this way. very cool.
Totally agree! I have another thin brick video coming out soon. This time I install it on drywall. Thx for watching
@@HomeProHero Do you know if I can add this thin brick to a wood wall or would it get too heavy for the wall?
Boy without see idk. With that said I can't see why not. I do it on drywall which is not as firm as wood. I think u can!
Hello, very good job, I have a question, this work can be do on the outside walls, in a temperature of 80 degrees, can you give me a recommendation, thank you
Yea it can be used outside but I would check out the manufacturers guideline on their website. I think I saw a video on TH-cam of someone using installing it on the exterior of a home. Thx for watching.
@@HomeProHero thanks i apréciate
Will this method work for exterior walls on a stucco house?
I would say yes as long as you use the same liquid nails I used in this video because its mason to mason and rated for exterior use. I would test one thin brick, stick it on a hidden area, and try to pry it off in a few days. If it’s tough to get off I would do it. The only concern should be the glue because the brick and mortar are the real deal that you see outside everywhere. Hope this helps!
Does this make the room/home quieter? I'm looking for sound reducing solutions! ❤
To be honest I couldn't tell you. I would guess it would because it's more dense than drywall but on my application in this video I installed it on concrete on an exterior wall. Thx for watching
what kind of wood did you use for your long spacers? plywood cut in 1' strips?
I think I ripped down some pine 2x4. Whatever you have laying around will work you just need a ton of them so the cheaper the better. Thx 4 watching
Did you seal it ? And does it matter what PL product you use if it’s going on drywall in a kitchen ?
I never sealed it and because it's inside I don't see a reason. I don't even think they seal outside brick around here. The video coming out today I paint think brick - pretty cool! Any construction adhesive will work I just always use LN. thx for watching!
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?
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!
Will that adhesive stick the brick to textured and painted drywall?
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!
Yep,,best video. Help. I have to fix two mistakes.
A. I had two runny bags and made the brics cloudy in the floor??? How do i sand off the cloudy white and get back to red ??
B. I over looked three lil 3inch sections i was supposed to press down on with the lil anvil 3/8 thingy. How do i get rid of those three humps???
Man cloudy bricks might be hard. If it's still wet water and sponge. If dry you might have to get something at Lowe's to clean brick. If that doesn't work you might have to paint or something. The second issue you have I don't quite understand. You can always pry off the bricks and mortar again. Suck you are having issues. Hope this helps
@@HomeProHero b. Was three three inch patches that i forgot to scrape. Can i use grinder??? Thx . You made it look easy. Btw. I weighed 3pounds to about 1.25 cups to get good grout thickness
@@HomeProHero cloudy bricks = lemon juice. Thx again. Wez all aint badazzes like you😉
Is there a calculator to determine how much mortar I will need for the joint grouting step? My wall is 17'x8'
Not that I'm aware but i would budget no more than 2 of that big bag of S Type I used in the video. Goes a long ways! Thanks for watching!
Is it ok just to glue it to standard drywall? No cement board needed?
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
Hey how would you handle a corner just put a grout line in between two bricks at 90 degrees?
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 the lock tight work in a bathroom and hold with moisture?
Yeah for sure. Once you apply the mortar there is no way that moisture can get behind the brick. Similar to people installing tile in a bath. Thx 4 watching!
Can you tell me how to finish an open edge? One that doesn’t butt up to another wall? Thank you!
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!
Very helpful. Thank you!
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.
A handheld grinder with a mason disc cuts perfect everytime! Little dusty but its perfect! I use one in this video: th-cam.com/video/0qbbr2Fi7CQ/w-d-xo.html
Can this go over the bricks of an existing fireplace?
I don't see why not. I would make sure to get the exact liquid nails I got so it adheres to mason! Thx for watching
I meant to also ask, could I use LIQUID NAILS HEAVY DUTY to stick these bricks to drywall?
For sure! It's what I used on drywall!
@@HomeProHero ok thanks again!
Can you install over existing brick
I'm sure you can. Could always glue one up and give it a few days to dry than try and take it off. If it's hard to pry off it's a go!
Can it be used out doors on wood
I want to say yes but I don't know for sure. If I was considering doing that I would stick one brick and wait a few days. Try to pry it off and if it's hard to do you are good. I know the brick and mortar will be fine just the adhesive part would be my only concern. Thx for watching
What were the size of your horizontal spacers???? Does anyone know??? Maybe i missed it..... I heard 3/8 for your vertical spacers.
All spacing is 3/8 inch. Vertical and horizontal which is the exact same size as the tool. Thx for watching!
@@HomeProHerothx guy. Subscribed. Do i need to score or sand the drywall.
@@HomeProHero well,,,what i hate about your biz. My 3/8 anvil is a dash over a half inch...smh.
@@kevreilly7 Maybe the physical width of the tool is wider, but the contour should fit a 3/8" mortar joint....
@@ruffxm thx.
Those long strips you’re using? What are they? And how big are they?
The sticks I just used whatever wood I had laying in the garage. I believe I ripped them down to 3/8 of an inch with a table saw. The 3/8 is the spacing between the bricks. I think they where 3/4 wide so I could grip them to pull them out when the bricks were dry. Thx for watching
@@HomeProHero thank you so much for your super fast reply-I was actually in Lowe’s and your reply was so fast I got the right stuff! So-I can just use 3/8 spacers since I don’t have much strips as such
Np good luck with your project! I love the thin brick. Getting ready to do more in my master bedroom and painting it black after install! Video soon
@@HomeProHero looking forward to it! I can’t stop gushing about your videos! Descriptive, straight to the point and so helpful-someone like me was able to do it and save 4200! Thanks so much!
Where do you buy this??
I bought it at Lowe's. They have 2 colors carbon and Stillwater. The brick in the video is Stillwater. Thx for watching!
@@HomeProHero gonna do this
Super easy!
