Thin Brick Panels
A genuine brick rain screen makes for a maintenance-free and long lasting façade. This thin brick cladding combines a real fired brick surface with the LevelTek modern mounting system. The end result is a lightweight and durable outer shell structure that is separated from the exterior wall with a built-in rain screen air gap, and additional room for exterior insulation, making a high-performance brick building.
The brick panels arrive onsite grouted and ready to install. Once installed, either a special grout or expansion joint sealant material is placed in the joints between the brick panels and are then hand tooled and treated with the same micro-stone as in the factory to guarantee a perfect match. Using traditional grout in the factory then attempting to match the color in field would be nearly impossible due to variances in temperature, humidity, etc. Our proven process results in a uniform, real brick exterior cladding.
Knight's brick panels are available in 2'x4' panels and accommodate the use of special corner brick for a “laid-in-place” appearance. Several brick and color options are available, please contact us for samples.

- Faster overall construction schedule with no wait on glazing installation equating to earlier phasing of interior work
- Minimal staging area required with no messy grout to clean up
- Faster installation versus laid-in-place brick
- No chance of efflorescence
- Pre-engineered and thoroughly tested
- 20 year guarantee
