Do-It-Yourselfer Motarless Brick

Do-It-Yourselfer Motarless Brick FARM HOME Houses 21-5-35 You can give your house the beauty and durability of brick at about half the cost of the real thing with this new do-it-yourself brick-style siding. "Novabrik" is made of molded concrete. Each block is 8 in. long and 3 in. high. The interlocking bricks fit snugly to each other like landscaping blocks and are anchored to the wall with special screws inserted in key blocks. Cost is about $4 per sq. ft. installed your-self. That's comparable to the cost of vinyl or steel siding but about half the cost of brick, the manufacturer notes. Cab be used inside, too, on accent walls or fireplaces.
