Want to get crazy with your interior design? Want to really make a statement?
If you're tired of hardwood floors or cheesy shag carpet and want to make a big splash- a thin, brick veneer can be installed in nearly any room.
With a 3/8" or 3/4" brick, you won't have to worry about any additional weight being added to your sub floors. And it will have the same look and feel of a full brick paved floor. Also, because it's a thin veneer, you won't be limiting the height of the room with the installation.
Looking to Install Brick Indoors?
You can go with a brick installation on the floor that will have the same irregularities, color variations, and durability that you'd find in a brick wall! If you feel that might be a bit too rough to be underfoot in your home, you can have a sealer put on that will either coat the surface or penetrate the material. The surface coating sealer might be the best option to keep the surface level and smooth. The sealing also ensures that cleaning will be fairly easy.
It could be a great option in your home and it will provide a very unique, beautiful, and extremely durable floor that could make it the talk of the neighborhood.

Masonry Home Exteriors & Brick Siding Options
12 September 2008
Remember the story of the Three Little Pigs?There's a reason many build their homes with a brick masonry exterior - brick can withstand all the huffing and puffing that the weather can throw at your house.
If you live in an area that has even minor changes in the weather, as well as the possibility for thunderstorms (and even hurricanes), it might be a good idea to consider either siding your new home with brick or residing your current home using these masonry wonders.
Heavy wind, rain, hail, and water can wear down vinyl and many other types of siding. It's why so many homes have brick exteriors. Brick fell out of favor after so many homes had brick siding from the 50's through the 70's. Everyone switched to vinyl, wood, or stucco siding for their homes. Now, a lot of homeowners now need to replace their siding and are considering brick masonry.
While rain can and does seep into brick siding and thin brick veneer exteriors, modern technology has made it easier to protect homes from damage with special flashing that can re-direct the water away from the house and foundation.
Advantages of Brick Siding:
- Very durable
- Fireproof
- Storm/Weather protection
- Very solid
- Great insulator
- Doesn't fade, rot, or require painting or sealing
- Can be expensive to install
- Requires professional installation

What Is Brick Veneer?
A brick veneer is a great choice to accent a room and do something unique that will be the center of conversation at your next party. The thin bricks are applied the same way a traditional brick wall is built. A masonry contractor an create the look and feel of a full clay brick wall with mortar but without the extra weight, extra cost, and extra cleanup costs.
You'll have the same choices of brick colors to choose from that you'd have with regular clay bricks. You can pick the perfect brick shape, style, and color that's right for your house and make a complete wall or even a chair railing for the wall.
The thin brick veneer wall will have the same sound dampening effects that a full wall would have. It will be just as durable, as well. You'll even have the benefits of extra fire protection in the areas of the brick installation.
It's a great addition to any home interior and could even improve the value of the home.Need to find a brick installer? We can help. Submit your request to ConstructionDeal.com - it's a fast and easy process to find local brick contractors.
