24. Technology Leadership Ambrico offers three application methods for thin brick, depending on the requirements of the job. No other company offers so many ways to meet your customers’ specific needs. Ambrico systems can be mixed and matched together, or with traditional brick, EIFS, and other technologies to create an almost limitless number of design opportunities.

36. Design Flexibility Thin Brick systems from Ambrico are a designer’s dream! From something as simple as a flat wall to elaborate archways, flowing and bending radius walls and quoin details. Greektown Casino U of M Dearborn Campus

37. Structural Flexibility Ambrico Thin Brick systems light weight eliminates the use of footings, lintels, and wall ties. Now architects can design with light weight wall assemblies instead of structural steel, cutting construction costs while maintaining structural integrity and building aesthetics.

38. Positive Mechanical Attachment All Ambrico systems offer the advantage of positive mechanical attachments to the structure. A matrix exists between the brick, the clips, and Ambrico grout, independent of the adhesive bond. This ensures years of trouble free performance under even the most severe conditions.

39. Compatibility Thin Brick can easily be combined with other products such as EIFS or traditional brick, for maximum design flexibility. An excellent example is the University of Michigan, Dearborn Campus, where thin brick was installed in conjunction with traditional brick. Only an expert can discern the difference.

40. Speed Ambrico systems are easier and faster to install than traditional masonry, and that difference can mean tens of thousands of dollars in reduced construction costs. A delay of a few weeks to a couple of months in completing a job can result in lost sales to the building owner or tenant. When time is of the essence, count on Ambrico Thin Brick systems to speed the completion with top-notch results.

41. Year Round Installation Cold weather months, which can stop traditional masonry in it’s tracks, is not a deterrent to thin brick installation. In situations where time to market is an issue, thin brick cuts weeks, even months off construction schedules. Ambrico Thin Brick systems allow work crews to be productive year round.

42. Durability With proper building maintenance, Ambrico Thin Brick systems will last for the life of the building. All Ambrico Thin Brick systems come with a 20 year material warranty.
