How a thin brick is measured: a flat by length, height and thickness; a corner adds a leg length; an edge cap adds a leg over the top edge
How PCI RP 152-25 says to order a thin brick: height by length by thickness for a flat, and every face and leg for a corner or an edge cap.

The matrix is the mortar joint.

In a precast panel there is no mortar. The concrete cast against the back of the brick fills the joint the liner leaves, so the color and finish of that concrete, the matrix, reads as the mortar line on the building. A light matrix lifts a dark brick. A dark matrix pulls the same brick darker. The joint width and the joint profile the liner forms change it again, and so do the sandblast, the acid etch and the wash the plant gives the panel.

That is why PCI wants final color approval on a cast sample, not a brick board. The sample shows the joint the concrete makes, the profile the liner makes and what the finishing does to both.

Common questions.

What thin brick sizes are available?
Advanced distributes thin brick from five makers in nine face sizes: Roman, modular, Norman, Meridian, King, Expanded Modular, closure, utility and triple. Which maker carries which size is listed on this page.
How thick is thin brick?
Between 1/2 in. and 1 in. under the PCI specification for embedded clay thin brick. Thickness is held to plus zero, minus 1/16 in., because the liner has to seat the brick at a consistent depth for the joint to read evenly.
Do you have corner pieces?
Yes. Corner units are L-shaped so an outside corner reads as full brick with no panel edge showing. Many colors in the catalog come with matching corners, and your rep confirms which before you order.
Can I get a size that matches an existing building?
Often, yes. Some lines are made to a stated dimension for match work, and a custom formliner can be tooled to the coursing and joint of the existing wall. Send a photograph or a measured course height and your rep will tell you what is achievable.
