    Elevation Thin Brick Raising the bar for interior finishes, Elevation takes your designs to the next level. Introducing a new thin brick that surpasses faux finishes in looks and durability. At 2-1/4" high, Elevation is an elegant, linear thin brick with a stylish weathered finish. Like all Arriscraft calcium silicate products, Elevation features a natural, fine grain texture and boasts the durability of quarried stone - adding both an authentic masonry feel and lifetime performance. Now that's a step up! Elevation comes in random lengths up to 23-5/8" and two thicknesses: 3/4" and 1-3/8". These thicknesses can be installed independently or mixed to create depth variation and shadows. Corner units allow designers to create a full-bed look as well. Available in nine designer colours: Basalt, Cedar Woods, Limestone, Magnolia, Montecito, Mountain Ridge, Oak Ridge, Redrock, and Sunset. For more information and to see what Elevation has to offer, check out our website. https://lnkd.in/gBuHHAs6 #Arriscraft #arriscraftstone #masonry #architecture #interiordesign #exteriordesign #modern #modernbrick #modernstone #facade #facadedesign #modernfacade #ElevationThinBrick #Elevation #ThinBrick #LinearThinBrick
