Split Bricks
Split Bricks thinner versions of the standard size brick. Split bricks are designed for paving patios or walkways. High strength split brick are used for paving areas that see high car traffic or load such as driveways or parking areas.

Thin Bricks are most commonly known as “Veneer Bricks” which are even thinner than the split brick units. Thin Brick is specifically designed for interior and exterior applications.
