Thin brick application question?

Question

i'm applying thin brick on the front of my house, three sides. there are two outside corners. doing one corner first on an existing structure, i have no control on where the brick ends up when i get to the other corner. how is this usually handeled?

Answer 1

Ahh, there's part of the problem.  Thin brick is a material that I will NOT use!  Either use real brick, as it was intended, or how about wood siding?

Now, aesthetically, think about how REAL brick walls are built.  Try to create the look of real brick by calculating full brick courses and making it come out even, turning the corner authentically.  

If that just will not work turning the corner straight, can you make one wall protrude past the other, so that it makes a bit of a "fin" that has thickness (like the length of a brick, perhaps 8" or whatever the length of one of your thin bricks) and therefore "receives" the other wall?

Nasty material!

Answer 2

if you want to maintain the factory edge when you get to the second corner you can cut the last sheet about 18" from the corner then cut a piece with the factory edge towards the corner to fill it in.

Answer 3

With real brick, the courses are started from both ends at the same time.when they get close, they trim down 1 or more brick in the course at different places so it doesn't show.

   Look at any brick wall, you will see the short one someplace in every course.7/29
