Abstract: A simulated stone structure comprises a simulated stone body, and at least one attachment structure embedded within and protruding from the simulated stone body. In addition, an insulative assembly comprises an insulative structure, an adhesive material overlying the insulative structure, and at least one simulated stone structure partially overlying the adhesive material and comprising a simulated stone body and at least one attachment structure embedded within the simulated stone body and extending from the simulated stone body, through the adhesive material, and into the insulative structure. A method of forming an insulative assembly is also described.

Abstract: A thin brick and method of forming a thin brick having a generally rectangular base portion with a plurality of laterally extending tabs extending therefrom is provided. An outer perimeter edge of each tab and a respective opposite side of the base portion has a precise dimension. A decorative upper portion is integrally formed with the base portion and has a generally rectangular shape, sized and shaped to substantially match the size and shape of the base portion. The upper portion extending from the base portion has a thickness that is at least equal to a thickness of the base portion.
