This information does not contain all of the factors that come into play when comparing the complete full and thin brick wall systems. Instead, this is designed as a visual representation to show some inherent advantages in using thin brick.

  1. My husband and I have been wondering if we should go with thin brick panels for the exterior of our new house or full stones. So thanks for pointing out that with the former option, we are able to have more insulation and save on energy costs. We will definitely have to go with thin brick panels since I want to save on energy as much as possible.
