Usefull Tips
- The horizontal joints and the vertical joints
must be 3/8" wide.
- Smaller joints will need more bricks per
foot.
- Always start on the top-side of the wall.
- Be sure that the rows are levelled.
- Always take the Flexi-Brick at random from
different cartons to get a uniform finished appearance of the
colors.
- Embed the Flexi-Brick firmly into the
adhesive.
- Ensure that they are offset and no moisture
can get behind the already applied bricks.
- Small differences in color and structure are
to be expected by later buys, because of the use of natural material
(special sands).
- Exterior Application - After application the
surface has to be protected against rain for 5-7 days minimum.
- Never apply Flexi-Brick at temperatures below
40°F.

More Pictures
Use Flexi-Brick™ indoors or
out, where ever you have a solid surface.
See the chart below for a detailed description of where Flexi-Brick™ can be used
* Before applying
Flexi-Brick™ we strongly recommended you pre-treat the base surface, using a
primer. Use any standard water-based acrylic primer. We also recommend using
mesh on joint seams to prevent cracks.
**Chip board, particle boards of any type, luan, OSB, and
tounge and groove planking are unsuitable substrates to directly install
Flexi-Brick™ over. These materials tend to swell, warp and delaminate when
exposed to moisture. For these applications we recommend covering the wood with
exterior sheet material.
Flexi-Brick™ is not suitable for traffic areas
