2005 Non Residential Cladding Market Market- In MSF -
Engineered Thin Brick Panel Systems
Allied Organization of The American Institute of Architects
The nonresidential thin brick market is expected to grow
Overall thin brick market is 25 – 50 million square feet (2005)
•Non residential market is 60% of current use
•Anticipate doubling of the market in the next 5 years
Non-residential thin brick market requires technical products
•Largest commercial thin brick product segment is tilt-up/precast panels
•Manufacturing and installing panels puts high tolerance requirements on brick
Thin brick is produced by a fragmented supplier base
•No clear market leader dictates terms or conditions
•Non residential thin brick is driven by demand pull through

Thin brick growth is driven by installation time and cost savings. Potential growth limitations can be attributed to lack of education in the market.
Thin Brick Growth Factors
Thin Brick Growth Drivers Thin Brick Growth Limits
Speed of installationReduced overall project cost
Panelized seismic applications
Overall growth of panel and concrete cladding
Reduced installation labor cost
Installation by non-skilled available labor pool
Lack of product education among architects
Improper installations perpetuating poor product reputation
Competing materials such as simulated concrete thin brick

Thin Brick
Real Brick without the weight, bulk or hassles of full brick.
Meets ASTM C1088-03
It’s use eliminates heavy, costly foundations, lintels or structural supports
Thinner walls mean more gross leasable area
Installs quickly in almost any weather

Thin Brick
Wide selection of colors and manufacturers
Installs quickly and easily with regular construction crews
Multiple mortar joints give the look of brick veneer
90 degree corners assure window and corner details
Other special shapes and sizes available

Design Flexibility
Thin Brick systems from Ambrico are a designer’s dream! From something as simple as a flat wall to elaborate archways, flowing and bending radius walls and quoin details.

Structural Flexibility
Ambrico Thin Brick systems light weight eliminates the use of footings, lintels, and wall ties. Now architects can design with light weight wall assemblies instead of structural steel, cutting construction costs while maintaining structural integrity and building aesthetics.
Engineered Thin Brick Panel Systems
Allied Organization of The American Institute of Architects
Positive Mechanical AttachmentAll Ambrico systems offer the advantage of positive mechanical attachments to the structure. A matrix exists between the brick, the clips, and Ambrico grout, independent of the adhesive bond. This ensures years of trouble free performance under even the most severe conditions.
Engineered Thin Brick Panel Systems
Allied Organization of The American Institute of Architects
Compatibility
Thin Brick can easily be combined with other products such as EIFS or traditional brick, for maximum design flexibility. An excellent example is the University of Michigan, Dearborn Campus, where thin brick was installed in conjunction with traditional brick. Only an expert can discern the difference.
Engineered Thin Brick Panel Systems
Allied Organization of The American Institute of Architects
Speed
Ambrico systems are easier and faster to install than traditional masonry, and that difference can mean tens of thousands of dollars in reduced construction costs. A delay of a few weeks to a couple of months in completing a job can result in lost sales to the building owner or tenant. When time is of the essence, count on Ambrico Thin Brick systems to speed the completion with top-notch results.
Engineered Thin Brick Panel Systems
Allied Organization of The American Institute of Architects
Year Round Installation
Cold weather months, which can stop traditional masonry in it’s tracks, is not a deterrent to thin brick installation. In situations where time to market is an issue, thin brick cuts weeks, even months off construction schedules. Ambrico Thin Brick systems allow work crews to be productive year round.

Durability
With proper building maintenance, Ambrico Thin Brick systems will last for the life of the building. All Ambrico Thin Brick systems come with a 20 year material warranty.

• Our Thin Brick systems average 7 lbs per square foot installed weight
•Manufactured Stone averages 12 lbs per square foot installed weight.
•Can be directly applied over existing substrates or use of light weight framing to achieve added architectural detail.
•Provides the owner ability to update the look of an existing property instead of relocation or rebuilding and, in most cases, the business can remain open.
