FAQs

What is a New York reclaimed thin brick?

New York reclaimed thin bricks are authentic historic bricks salvaged from NYC buildings and cut into thin sections for use as wall veneer or brick floor tile. They retain the original face and character of full bricks while reducing weight and thickness.

Can reclaimed thin brick be used on both floors and walls?

Yes. Reclaimed thin brick is commonly used for interior walls, feature facades, fireplaces, and interior brick flooring. When properly installed, thin brick floor tiles provide the look of traditional brick floors while working within modern height and weight constraints.

Is New York reclaimed thin brick suitable for exterior use?

Reclaimed thin brick is primarily recommended for interior applications. Exterior use may be possible in non-freeze-thaw or protected conditions, but installation methods and local climate should always be considered. Thin brick is not structural and functions strictly as a veneer.

How does thin brick compare to full reclaimed bricks?

Thin brick offers the same historic surface and color variation as full reclaimed bricks but in a lighter, thinner format. This makes thin brick ideal for renovations, retrofits, and flooring over existing substrates, while full bricks are typically used for traditional masonry applications.

Do reclaimed thin bricks meet ASTM structural standards?

No. Reclaimed thin bricks do not meet ASTM standards for structural masonry. They are intended for non-structural wall veneer and flooring applications, where historic appearance and material reuse are the primary benefits.
