NewBrick is a lightweight insulated brick product that is coated with a
specially formulated finish. It retains clay brick’s classic size and appearance,
but vastly improves on clay brick’s many performance shortcomings.

Compared to traditional clay brick, NewBrick is:

EXCEPTIONALLY LIGHT QUALITY ASSURANCE
– at 2.45 lbs./sqft, NewBrick is 12 times lighter – can be installed by one contractor
than 4 in. face brick, which is approximately – 10-year warranty when installed over an
29 lbs./sqft Outsulation system
– less expensive freight to the job and easy to – engineered drainage plane removes incidental
stage on the job moisture
– easier and safer to work with, especially on – meets NFPA 285 multi-story fire test
multi-story construction – Patent-pending alignment guide insures
straighter lines with increased speed of
FAR MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT installation
– peak energy efficiency attained when applied
over an Outsulation system KINDER TO THE ENVIRONMENT
– when used with an Outsulation system, meets – much less energy to manufacture
IECC and Title 24 for the use of continuous – less energy to transport
insulation (CI) – NewBrick has a much higher R-value than face
– the Oak Ridge National Laboratory says Dryvit’s or thin brick
Outsulation system is 84% more energy – can contribute to LEED credits
efficient than the next best tested cladding – much less dust and occupational injury
– substantially less embodied energy than
kiln fired brick

LESS COSTLY
– installation over an Outsulation system is
more affordable than traditional clay brick with
equivalent and air/water-resistive barrier
– requires less structural support than clay brick
with CI, which reduces the amount of steel,
concrete and engineering for the project
– less costly to transport
– installs faster than clay face brick or thin brick
– easier to repair than clay brick
