Faux brick panels

Planning to finishing my shop shop interior with faux brick panels like this (4' x 8' embossed hardboard). Was at BW3's in Hammond, IN and the interior was finished with a very good lucking faux brick panel that was probably 5-6' x 2-3' with the bricks running across the the 5-6' length. I've searched for those panels with no luck so I'm tapping the all knowing Beeb. Anybody know where to find those panels?

 

Maybe Lowes?

 

I'm guessing that all BW3s have a single supplier that they use to keep the interior finishes looking consistent across the network. A search found the plans for a store being remodeled and there is a reference to Vintage Brick Alexandria Buff in the Interior Finish Schedule. A search for Vintage Brick Alexandria Buff led me here. May want to contact them to find out where to buy it.

 

What's the Psi of those boards? Don't want to overload your truck.

As for where to get them, hell if I know. Did you call TJ at Rider's Discount? He's got the hook up on all the cool shit.

 

If he's smart and a good planner, the PSI of the boards won't matter. Prior to picking them up, he'll HOPEFULLY remove all 67,737 lbs of air and leave it in his driveway to make room for the panels.

 

The Lowe's panels will have a tough to hide joint every 48". The ones I linked will be better at hiding joints, but they are more expensive and harder to work...well crap...I didn't get the link posted. https://fauxdirect.com/product-category/bricks/

 

What is BW3?

 

Pit Beef is better than Beef on Weck.

 

And another thread turns to the food side.

 

Never heard of it referred to with the weck.

 

They dropped the weck from the name about 20 years ago. BW3 was a college staple in Morgantown, WV. The business is quite a success story. From Ohio State college hangout to international franchise.

 

But can you cook pizzas with those bricks more than once?

 

uhmm....No. And I would probably pass on the first batch, unless you like petrochemical infused pepperoni.

 

Is there any other kind?

 

If you want the brick look this is the way to go.

If you want it to look just like real brick, and last forever, look at these...http://www.boralamerica.com/stone/cultured-stone/handmade-brick/cs-hb-moroccan-sand

More labor but the end product won't look cheesy like the faux panels.
