A brick or other structural member is provided for use in building a wall or other similar structure which is to be provided with a cementitious surface coat application to one, typically exposed, face. The brick includes a relief pattern or profile on at least one face. This allows the installer to adequately affix an external cementitious surface coat to the outer surface of, a brick wall, while also providing a “depth gauge”, which can identify proper coating thickness during installation, which not only ensures proper application thickness but can preclude waste due to overapplication. The added brick texture (a.k.a. profile) increases the surface area of the brick to improve the bonding of the brick surface coating and to provide mechanical underpinning for the surface coating.

A brick structure, comprising:
A brick having a profile on one side, said profile comprised with a recognizable recessed pattern which functions as “depth gauge”, in that it assists an applicator in identifying proper coating thickness during installation, thus not only ensuring proper application thickness but reducing waste due to overapplication.
