Thin brick
We make the liners. We distribute the brick.
Advanced Formliners started in thin brick, and it is still core to what we do. We are a thin brick distributor as well as a formliner maker, so you can get the brick and the liner matched from one source. We also hold the exclusive rights to all King Klinker thin brick sales in the United States.
Why brick and liner from one source helps
Embedded brick only looks right when the liner seals to the brick. Buy them from two places and you are hoping two suppliers agree on size and tolerance. Get them together from Advanced and the liner is chosen for the brick you are actually casting, so the seal comes out clean and the mortar lines read like real masonry.
Flex2Fit goes further and seals around brick that is not uniform, with no ledge, so normal variation from one brick run to the next does not cost you a clean joint.
The short version
- Advanced distributes thin brick from the makers below.
- Exclusive US rights to King Klinker clinker thin brick.
- Solocast and Flex2Fit cast that brick into precast and tilt-up panels.
- One source means the brick and the liner are matched, not guessed.
