A thin brick panel assembly for forming a brick facing on a building includes a backing member formed from of a single sheet of material which is adapted to properly retain individual thin brick tiles, and support clips utilized in supporting the completed brick facing. The backing member has a uniform cross-section throughout its entire length, and provides channels which allow the thin brick tiles to lay uniformly across each row. Support clips secure the completed brick facing to an underlying support structure of the building.

Method of producing a thin brick panel assembly

A thin brick panel assembly for forming a brick facing on a building structure. The brick panel assembly includes a backing member formed from a single sheet of material, which is adapted to properly retain individual thin brick tiles. The backing member has a generally uniform cross-section throughout its entire length, providing channels which allow the thin brick tiles to lay uniformly across each row. The channels are defined by retaining bars which hold the thin brick tiles in place. The retaining bars include mortar lock notches, which are adapted to provide a dovetail connection between the mortar and the backing board, as well as a path for moisture and water to escape from the brick panel assembly.
