For thin brick field installation, the recommended installation methods in the TNCA (Tile Council of North America's) "Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation" and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards should be followed.

Note: Differences in color shades of thin brick products are a natural occurrence as a result of the manufacturing process. To achieve the natural blended appearance, remember to mix thin bricks from different cartons and pallets.
