A: Precast concrete panels are a highly versatile building material produced in a controlled factory environment using advanced manufacturing techniques from precast concrete to create a vast range of precast panels in various different sizes, shapes and finishes. InBrick from PGH Bricks & Pavers combines the natural beauty of real brick with precast concrete panels by embedding our high-quality, genuine clay brick tiles into the precast panels. The versatility of InBrick precast concrete panels means they can be used in a variety of applications in both construction and landscaping to achieve a durable, natural brick aesthetic, faster construction, lower costs, and limitless possibilities.

A: InBrick precast concrete panels are typically 175mm thick. For more detailed information and illustrated guides on InBrick precast panel specifications, please see our brochure on the downloads tab.

A: InBrick precast concrete panels are designed to be quick and easy to install. InBrick’s patented single-use liner - VersaLiner - enables contractors to create the closest look to masonry available on a concrete panel. Its unique, seamless joint design provides a realistic coved joint and fully embeds the brick tile for superior bonding and weatherproofing. Installation of InBrick precast concrete panels and VersaLiner typically involves: preparing real clay bricks for embedding, including blending and cutting the brick and applying a protective coating; trimming the liners to size; preparing the construction surface; applying the VersaLiner liner and installing the brick tiles; and placing concrete and cleaning concrete residue from unwanted surfaces.
