Thin brick veneer vs. traditional full/face brick: What’s the difference?

There’s a reason builders and homeowners alike have come back to brick time after time for centuries. It’s a classic, timeless and durable home exterior. Full brick and thin brick veneer both provide those three elements that your customers seek. Thin brick veneer is more lightweight, cost-effective, and easier and faster to install and offers a wide range of style options.
