The EZ Wall ™ Engineered Thin Brick System’s light weight minimizes the use of footings, and eliminates the need for lintels and wall ties. Now architects can design with light weight wall assemblies instead of structural steel, cutting construction costs while maintaining structural integrity and building aesthetics.
Structural Flexibility
![Page 9: Ambrico Architect Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081403/554e38a8b4c905f4478b4b20/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Positive Mechanical Attachments
The EZ Wall ™ System offers the advantage of positive mechanical attachments to the structure. A matrix is created between the brick, the brick ledge, and the AMBRICO Mortar, independent of the adhesive bond. This ensures trouble free performance under even the most severe conditions.
![Page 10: Ambrico Architect Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081403/554e38a8b4c905f4478b4b20/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Thin Brick can easily be combined with other products such as EIFS or traditional face brick, for maximum design flexibility. An excellent example is the University of Michigan, Dearborn Campus, where thin brick was installed in conjunction with traditional brick. Only an expert can discern the difference.
Compatibility

Speed
The EZ Wall™ System is easier and faster to install than traditional masonry, and that difference can mean thousands of dollars in reduced construction costs. A delay of a few weeks or months in completing a job can result in lost sales to the building owner or tenant. When time is of the essence, count on the EZ Wall™ Engineered Thin Brick System to speed the completion with top-notch results.

Year Round Installation
Cold weather months, which can stop traditional masonry in it’s tracks, is not a deterrent to thin brick installation. In situations where time to market is an issue, thin brick can cut weeks or even months off construction schedules. The EZ Wall™ Engineered Thin Brick System allows work crews to be productive year round.
