Since opening in 1920, Cincinnati’s Western Hills Builders Supply has sold a wide range of masonry, brick, block, roofing supplies, gravel, sand and anything else that you’d need for your home or commercial construction or landscaping job. This family-run company has forged an impressive rapport with all of its customers—homeowners, landscape designers and builders. Of late, one material that has the staff at Western Hills particularly excited is thin brick.

What is thin brick? Basically, it’s the use of thinner wedges of brick set into a base material like concrete, metal or wood, giving the appearance of a brick wall. The primary advantage of this approach is that it’s much easier and much quicker to install. The latest versions of thin brick are just as durable, if not more so, than other options, and it’s thinner design allows for it to be used for a variety of interior and exterior projects. Furthermore, it comes in about as many colors and varieties as regular bricks, so it can surely be a practical, aesthetically matching solution. It’s no wonder that, within the construction industry, it’s a material that is known to dramatically reduce both time and costs.

Whether you’re looking to renovate or upgrade a swimming pool, to install an attractive new wall in a business or are at last turning your kitchen into the stylish but cozy place you’ve always imagined, thin brick could be the break-through material you’ve been looking for.
