What is brick slip cladding?
Brick slips are used for wall cladding. They replicate the look of traditional bricks but are a cost-effective and safe method of achieving a brick finish to a building without using real brick. They come in a range of systems for attaching them to an external wall and are available in a range of designs and colours.
What are brick slips?
Let’s start from the beginning and learn more about what is brick slip cladding. Well, natural brick slips are nothing else but parts of traditional clay bricks, which have been formed in much slimmer slices. They have the appearance of conventional bricks, but they are much thinner, which makes it easier to install on the wall. Their thickness can vary, and on the market, you will find variants between 15mm and 50mm. In our offer you can find 5 different kinds of them – handmade brick slips, reclaimed, budget, long and modern brick slips.
Benefits of brick slip cladding
The use of brick slip cladding is getting more popular and for a good reason! This product has many advantages to offer, and one of the biggest ones is the great range of available versions. Manufacturers present variants that differ in colours, textures, finishes, designs and even in sizes. Brick slip cladding can be formed from reclaimed, handmade or modern bricks, and it provides a broad selection for clients around the world. It’s also worth remembering that slips are essentially just thinner bricks and they have some key features of this material. They are known for their longevity, durability and low maintenance, which makes them a perfect choice for cladding.
Where can you use brick slip cladding?
This type of product works well both internally and externally. It is especially helpful inside buildings as it offers a traditional brick look but takes up much less space. Many homeowners also choose to use brick slip cladding as a finish for exterior wall insulation.
