Re: Thin Brick Floors


Nothing special about it. Use a good quality thinset. I did one in a basket weave pattern...used grey, sanded grout and it looks great. as pourous as it is, I would suggest you apply a penetrating sealer (I used a sealer/enhancer) before and after you grout. Snap some lines to give you a basic grid to work from as the individual pieces will vary quite a bit. Expect wide variations in grout lines.
