    Material selection guide

    Start with the material and the project

    Compare brick, thin brick, and manufactured stone, then narrow your selection with the team.

    Name the application first

    An exterior wall, an interior feature, and an addition can raise different questions. Bring the intended location and your builder’s or installer’s requirements into the conversation before choosing a product.

    Explore the formats

    Browse brick for its color, texture, and listed sizes. Thin brick offers a different format to discuss where full-size brick may not be suitable; Statesville lists thin brick and corner options for interior and exterior applications. Manufactured stone offers profiles such as ledges and cut-stone looks. Compare the specific product details rather than assuming products are interchangeable.

    Make a useful shortlist

    Save the exact product option in My Project and add a note about where you plan to use it. Ask Krebs and your installer to confirm suitability, accessories, and the applicable manufacturer guidance.

    • Where will the material be used?
    • What look, color, and texture do you want?
    • What requirements has your builder or installer identified?

    Selection guidance helps you prepare a conversation. Confirm technical requirements and installation details with your builder or installer and the applicable manufacturer documents.
