Installation Guide

Install cement board as per manufacturer’s instructions. If using Fast Adhesive Method, Thin brick may also
be applied directly over water-resistant drywall (“green board” or “blue board”). Applying thin brick directly
over standard untreated drywall may negatively affect joint quality and overall durability.
Step 2: Install Thin Brick
Clean unit backs of any dust, laitance, loose material and any excess film that could impede bond. Start with
the corner pieces, working either from the top-down, or bottom-up. Using a non-sagging adhesive, apply a
generous bead to the back of each brick and firmly press into place on the wall. After the corner pieces are
installed, apply flat pieces starting at an outside corner and working your way in. Let the adhesive dry
overnight. Grout the joints using pointing mortar (or mix shown on Page 4) using a grout bag. Tool joints
when thumbprint hard using a metal jointing tool.
