How to Install Imperial Size Thin Brick Using the Bond Line™ by King Klinker
Imperial size thin brick shines when its natural variation is paired with a thoughtful layout. Bond Line™ by King Klinker provides a clear, repeatable four-row sequence that transforms “wild bonding” into intentional design. By combining half-, quarter-, and realigned offsets, the method creates balanced movement, eliminates unwanted repetition, and reveals a refined, architectural rhythm across the entire façade.

King Size vs. Modular Size Thin Brick: What’s the Difference?
King Size and Modular thin bricks both deliver the timeless look of masonry, but their dimensions impact efficiency. Modular size (7 5/8" x 2 1/4") is the U.S. standard, versatile and traditional. King Size (9 1/2" x 2 3/4") covers 25% more area per pallet, with fewer bricks and joints, making installation faster and more cost-effective. Both options bring beauty and durability — the choice depends on your project needs.
