Faux brick walls

[intrepid27]

My wife and I are remodeling a large 3 season room and want to put a faux brick on one wall (9 ft X 28 FT).
We are looking for something nicer than what you typically get with indoor paneling at Menards, Lowes or Home Depot. Open to exterior designed products and would like something that reasonable to install from a handyman standpoint.

The front-runner so far is this: https://www.menards.com/main/buildi...-brick-wall-panel-9-sq-ft/p-1444449347860.htm

Ideally would like something thinner so it will be easier to go around doors and install outlets, cable boxes etc.

Any ideas????

Just follow Baylor's model.

It depends on what easy means and what your budget is. Personally, we did this in our entryway and did a rustic thin brick (regular brick w/ the faces sawn off). Wellshire from here: https://www.summitbrick.com/thinbrick.html Installed on concrete board with thinset, then tucked with mortar (didn't clean down to keep it rustic). Looks great.

I'm really curious to know what the panels look like in person.

These are very cool, and while not cheap, are not as expensive as they look. Send me a PM if interested in a quote.

Forget brick. You must do ship-lap. Ship-lap everything.

The panel in my link looks pretty good on the display at Menards. To answer your questions I'm fairly handy and could probably put them up like tile if I had to. It looks like I'm going to spend somewhere in the $5-$9 per square foot to get something that looks good.

I'd really recommend against brick "paneling." Because it'll end up looking like paneling.

Anything you grout in will look far more realistic. Those thin bricks are intriguing to me.

I think my cost (contractor, before shipping) at the time was <$7/sqft for the thin brick flats (boxes of 50). I'd give United Brick & Tile a call or stop by: http://www.united-brick.com/contact-us/united-brick

I'm with him. I'm generally not a fan of exterior looking finishes on interior walls but some of that stuff Pride? linked to could be cool.
