Hit the Brix: Tru-Brix is a thin-brick cladding system that is ideal for new construction or existing houses. Designed to replace vinyl, wood, or aluminum, the thin bricks are produced in the same manner as traditional products but attach to mounted steel rails. Mortar is applied to the joints and hand-tooled like traditional brickwork. It comes in over 50 colors. Redland Siding Systems. 301-223-7700. www.tru-brix.com.
