Thank you for your interest in the BrickBratz!
This user friendly faux brick, tile and stone system will save you lots of time and money.
Many patterns can be achieved quickly with this system.
For the Running brick pattern, all you need is one full level line to follow,
starting at the top, and a small mark for your center to start the vertical
scribes.
Using a laser or if taping, use 1/4" tape, because the
"BrickBratz" scribe 1/4" grout lines.
I have done whole walls by simply scribing my first line from the baseboard or ceiling.
Apply texture medium of choice to the entire area that you have time to work.
Very large areas can be done very quick.
* If you find that you don't have time to finish an area, scrape the remaining
off and return to it later
For Running brick, scribe all of the horizontal lines first.
As you are scribing one line, the "BrickBratz" is scribing the next.
Move up or down to that next row and scribe again and again until all of your rows
are complete.
There is an arrow in the center of each BrickBrat so that you can center
your bricks as well.
Starting at your center mark, line up your arrow and pull down to create your first vertical grout
lines.
Scribe all of the top row vertical lines first and then center your tool again
with any grout line to start the next row.
After all of your grout lines are complete, smooth edges and texture while
wet with a sponge or your tool of choice. Grout lines can be smoothed
with a small paint brush.
For Flander’s Weave, you will the 12” BrickBrat.
Starting out you will need one full vertical and one full horizontal line
to follow.
Scribe the 12” squares first.
Then using the 4” BrickBrat, scribe the outside edge of those 12”
lines.
The 8” can be used as a guide or you can scribe with both to make the
4x8” bricks that will fit perfectly inside.
The Herringbone pattern needs one full span zigzag line to follow.
Use the 4” and the 8” BrickBratz for scribing.
Thank You! Stay Safe and Have Fun!
