Tru-Brix works on virtually any existing structure, regardless of shape, size, or architectural details. This system can be installed on both residential and commercial buildings, on the outside and inside walls.
It takes approximately 1 man hour to complete 4 to 6 square feet of Tru-Brix on any project, but installation time will vary according to the square footage of the structure. Also, jobs requiring scaffolding and those with a lot of detail work, short runs, and many windows or corners will require more time.

The majority of the water that hits the masonry wall will run down the face of the brick. When the wall is saturated with wind-driven rain, water may be pushed into the system, where it typically collects in the rail. The water will then drain to the corners of the rail and flow down to grade.
No. A properly installed job will drain down to grade because the Tru-Brix system is designed to use the Tru-Brix building wrap to allow the collected water in the rail to travel to grade behind the steel rail and not penetrate the building. You can view the ASTM testing results for more information.
You should allow for 2-3% waste on the tiles, and 3-5% on all other materials.
