Can we install the faux bricks, Koni bricks, or Litestone on a fireplace or a backsplash?
Yes, our faux bricks, Koni bricks, and Litestone can be installed on a fireplace or backsplash.
For a fireplace, be advised that because each fireplace unit has it’s own BTU emanation, we recommend using a polymer-modified mortar and to use Manubric’s installation product (grout and adhesive). We also recommend verifying with the fireplace supplier which polymer-modified mortar corresponds best with the BTU emanation of your fireplace if you want to use other installation products.
For a backsplash, we recommend using a sealer to protect the brick. If the chosen faux brick, Koni brick, or Litestone is white, we also recommend testing the sealer on one brick, because it can cause the brick’s color to appear yellow. The sealer available on our website has been tested to assure best results. However, if the chosen faux brick, Koni brick, or Litestone is white, we recommend testing the sealer on one brick, because it can cause the brick’s color to appear yellow
