Abstract: A fiber enforced sheet for use as a wall or floor covering which comprises of adhered thin bricks bonded to a fiber-reinforced, backing layer. Thin brick is adhered to the fiber enforced sheet. The fiber enforced backing increases strength and rigidity to the thin brick during handling, and installation permits the thin bricks to be adhered to proper specification and spacing to be cut using ordinary tile or thin brick tools.

Abstract: A fire resistant construction block that comprises a core comprising a polygonal shape including a front face, a rear face, a right face, a left face, a bottom face, and a top face. The fire resistant construction block further comprises a fire resistant coating surrounding at least a portion of the core and an optional intermediate layer disposed between the core and the fire resistant coating. The fire resistant construction block can comprise a plurality of channels, and the top face of the fire resistant construction block comprises a sloped surface. The fire resistant construction block can be configured to be disposed above a window of a building and the placement of the fire resistant construction block can enable an exterior wall of a building to comply with a National Fire Protection Agency Code 285 standard fire test method and/or other fire test standards.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing thin brick sheets are disclosed. The thin brick sheets can be used as a wall or floor covering. The methods can include adhering a plurality of thin bricks to a backing layer with an adhesive. The backing layer defines a grid that includes a plurality of holes, is non-stretchable, and can provide strength and rigidity to the thin brick sheets.

Abstract: Panels for coupling stone or brick units to a wall structure are disclosed herein. The panels can include an expanded polystyrene foam having a plurality of laterally extending channels formed on one or more of a first and second side of the panel. The channels can aid in adhering a plurality of stone or brick units to the panel. The width of the channels can be less than the width of the stone or brick units such that the stone or brick units are disposed outside the channels when coupled to the panel.

Abstract: A thin brick system and method for forming a thin brick wall includes a matrix in which channels are formed for receiving a plurality of thin brick units. The thin brick units are bonded to the matrix using mortar and the same mortar can be used to fill spaces between adjacent bricks. The matrix may be attached to a substrate using fasteners. The channels can be formed in the matrix on-site.

Abstract: A thin brick panel system and method of forming a thin brick wall includes an expanded polystyrene foam panel having a plurality of laterally extending channels formed therein for receiving a plurality of thin brick units. The thin brick units are bonded to the channels in the foam panel and the seams between adjacent bricks are filled with a mortar that bonds to the foam panel. The foam panel may be attached to a substrate with an adhesive as well as fasteners. Strips of a mesh fabric may span several panels to bind the panels together to form a structurally sound thin brick wall.
