ClassicBrick FAQs

ClassicBrick Faux Brick panels measure 23 13/16” tall x 44 13/16” wide. Slight variations due to texture are natural.

Yes. The ClassicBrick Faux Brick panels come in two different thicknesses: a ½” thick panel & a 1” thick panel. The thinner, ½” panel offers a less expensive panel option and a softer brick texture since the grout lines are not as deep as the 1” panel. The ½” panels install by butting together & a seamless look is achieved by running caulking along all horizontal & vertical seams. The thicker, 1” panels have overlapping bricks on the edges so less caulking is required, making them the easiest install option. ClassicBrick caulking is used to hide seams & screw heads in all installs.

ClassicBrick Faux Brick panels are made from high density polyurethane.

Yes, since the panels are polyurethane, they naturally will vary slightly in thickness, typically about 1/8” but sometimes more. This is due to the silicone molding process which is necessary with poly production, most often causing variation from the panel edges and the middle. ClassicBrick Faux Brick panels will typically have these variations in thickness and also in panel detail and corner formation (such as slightly rounded corners in some panels). These variations are typically not an issue as they mimic the same variations and inconsistencies found in real brick. But, if you have some joints where the thickness is causing too much of a difference between two adjacent panels, they can be buttered or furred out slightly with any backer.

This depends on the surface that the ClassicBrick is being mounted to. Finishing nails are the most recommended, as they leave small entrance holes, and are very fast. Wood screws and drywall screws are also common. Screws must penetrate at least 1” to properly secure the product. If using screws, the screwheads get covered with ClassicBrick caulking.

Not for most typical installations. It is best to reference the ClassicBrick Install Sheet.

ClassicBrick panels and can be used around some electric & gas fireplaces. The panels have a Class A fire rating. Always check with local building codes and the fireplace manual to ensure proper materials & clearances. In most situations the panels are not suitable for use around wood burning fireplaces.

They could be used as a backsplash, however, even though they aren’t porous, grease and oils could definitely sit on top of the panels and therefore the panels could potentially be stained by cooking grease/animal fats/and or other food products. The other thing to consider is the type of stove in the kitchen. If the stove has a flame, the panels are combustible. Likely, going with a ceramic/porcelain tile for a kitchen backsplash would be best.
