These faux brick panels are really great! They actually look very believable when they are applied. We chose the variable colored brick pattern that had a sort of an old brick patina to them. The best aspects about their quality are: 1). the size and look of the brick looks authentic; 2). The adhesive is very, very strong and applies securely; 3). Each panel section aligns perfectly with the next paired section, so that a “half brick” pairs up with the other half of the brick in the next panel. (I discovered also that if you don’t want there to be a crease in the middle of the half brick, you can cut around the foam edge of the panel so that the foam of a 1/2 brick will line up perfectly with foam of the other without the dividing line if you cut it out.) And 4). The texture, thickness and the pattern of the 5 or six different colored bricks each panel do look very much like old vintage mortared bricks. Our project was that we are staging an old 1850 Sea Captain’s home for sale that had a vintage mantle in the living room, and we wanted to have the effect of a “bricked up and unused fireplace,” but we didn’t want the expense or the labor of actual masonry, so we looked for a quality alternative that would look believable for prospective buyers when touring the house. We are very, very pleased with the results. See the attached photos.?We like the look and quality of these so much that we are going to use the rest of the faux brick panels in our kitchen on a side counter wall of our 1870 farmhouse!
