Clay mosaics from MSI
MSI's clay brick comes as 2.25x7.5 brick faces on a mesh back, 1/2 inch thick, in three colors. Doverton Gray is described by MSI as a reclaimed clay brick in gray and white hues, Alpine White as a classic white, and Noble Red as a rustic red with a tumbled finish, which MSI describes as set in a herringbone pattern. Each color has matching corner pieces in 2.25x10.75 for outside corners. Doverton Gray and Alpine White have a natural finish.
What is thin brick tile?
Thin brick is a slim brick-shaped tile, here in glazed and fluted versions from Stone Tile Depot. Pure White is a glazed thin brick in 2 1/8x7 1/2, and Atlantic is a glossy blue thin brick accent tile in 2 1/4x7 7/8. The fluted pieces in 2 1/4x7 9/16 have a ribbed face: Topaz in glossy yellow, Rose in leather pink and Ocean in leather blue. More slim brick-shaped tile is in thin brick.
Pattern mosaics in marble, glass and porcelain
Brick pattern mosaics set small pieces in a brick bond on a sheet. Arctic Storm is a honed gray marble in 0.625x2 pieces, Retro Brick Bianco a matte white porcelain, Colosseo Azul a blue glass mosaic in 1x4, and Blanco Marjinal a polished marble look porcelain in 3x6 staggered on 12x12 sheets. These give a brick rhythm in stone, glass or porcelain in place of clay.
