I want to apply thin brick to the concrete block foundation of my new house. What method can I use to apply it? I was wondering about one of the construction adhesives in the quart tubes. Any and all advice would be appreciated. The manufacturer is U S Brick.

Thanks,

Thin brick or not a better means of attachment and support than construction adhesive is necessary. In the past I have seen, but never used, a metal grid system for thin brick. Off hand I don't have a source. (I'll keep it in mind, and if I run across one I'll post it). Otherwise the process will be similar to standard brick: angle iron support, metal ties attached to the block, mortared in place.
