Faux Brick Wall Panels

Key Features of Panespol® Brick Wall Panels:

Panespol is a type of artificial brick wall panel made with a patented fire-resistant, polyurethane back-panel and a surface polymer that contains real mineral.  The panels create an authentic look and feel that is almost indistinguishable from real brick.

• The light weight of the panels avoids the need for reinforcing walls that real brick may require
• The panels can be cut using only standard wood-working tools, avoiding the need for wet-cutting tools that can create significant mess
• Panespol® brick cladding panels are made from non-toxic materials
• Fast to install without needing specialist tradespeople such as bricklayers
• Around 20% recycled material is used in the manufacturing process to improve sustainability

Why Is Panespol Different From Other Fake Brick Wall Panels?

A number of key features set Panespol apart:

• Panespol panels are resistant to impact and firm to touch (see the end of our Panespol video to see our panel strength).  Other foam fake brick wall panels are softer and can be damaged and leave visible marks if pressed or bumped.
• Panespol has Australian fire certification that has been tested here in Australia.  Other imitation brick cladding often has USA or overseas fire certificates that are not recognised in Australia.
• The panels have a 3D profile complete with ‘imperfections’ and variance that enhances the authenticity of the brick profile.
• Our faux brick cladding range is pre-painted with high-quality oxide-based paints and requires only touch-up painting.  Other artificial brick requires multiple undercoats and top coats which adds significant costs and time to installation.

How To Achieve An Authentic Finish When Installing Fake Brick Cladding Panels

Read below or watch videos of our simple and easy installation process to ensure you achieve the result you want in a matter of hours.

• Measure the wall you are installing and calculate the number of brick panels needed to cover the full length.
• Plan the cut for the first panel remembering that the off-cut from the first wall panel you trim can be used to finish other ends of the wall.  In some cases it can be better to cut slightly more off the first panel to create a more useable section.
• Using a circular saw or jigsaw cut the end of the panel to begin cladding the wall from one end.  TIP: Cut the panel face down for the best finish.
• Apply adhesive to the back of the wall panel as a bead or blobs in a grid pattern.  If you are using the brick panels externally ensure you use an appropriate adhesive for exterior applications.  Ensure the interlocking fingers on each panel are glued to the wall.
• Place the panel on the wall for fixing.  Place a screw with a washer through the panel to secure the brick panel against the wall while the adhesive cures.  TIP: Position screws in the ‘mortar-joint’ area of the brick panels for easier touch up when finishing.
• Place the next artificial brick wall panel against the previous panel making sure the edge interlock fully seats.
• When all panels are installed, and the adhesive has dried, fill the interlocking joints with filler. Also fill any screw holes where the panel was fixed.
• Spread filler with an artist brush to make the joint take correct visual texture and shape.  Let the filler dry and touch up joints and holes with correct colour paint using a small artist’s brush.
