Brick Tiles. Brick Facings. Brick Slips

Brick slips, also known as brick tiles, are thin slices of brick typically cut to about 20mm in thickness. These lightweight slices are utilised as tiles to create light weight brick facades.

The most common question we get is are they real brick?

The answer is yes, our brick tiles are REAL BRICK made from fired clay. We make our brick tiles by cutting them from our full sized bricks.

Brick tiles or slips are incredibly versatile and commonly employed in various construction and renovation jobs, including feature walls, fireplaces and exterior facades.

The advantages of brick tiles are many and include:

- Authentic brick material!
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Weather-resistant.
- Lightweight, weighing approximately 35kg per square meter.
- Installed just like regular tiles; for installation instructions, click here.

The only thing different between laying brick tiles and normal porcelain tiles is how you finish the joints. Below is a series of videos which show you how to finish the joints of brick tiles.

F.A.Q.

Are they real brick?

Yes, our brick tiles are cut from the full sized brick so we get 2 bricks tiles per brick. Due to this they are identical to the full sized brick in every way except for thickness as we have cut them into a tile format.

How many brick facings do I need?

Estimating how many brick facings you need is really quite easy. Multiply the height (m) and width (m) of the wall or the width (m) and breadth (m) of the floor area you need covered, this will allow you to calculate the square meters required. If you want to covert this to individual facings, multiply the square meterage by 60 (for our 215mm x 65mm brick tiles) or 66 (for our 240mm x 50mm brick tiles) (this assumes a 10mm mortar gap), for on mesh systems, divide this number by the sq. m of each sheet (0.18m sq. m. for brick thins and 0.24 sq. m for cobbles). For brick facing corners, measure the linear metres of external corners that need cladding (in mm) and divide this number by 75mm, this will calculate the number of individual brick facing corners you will need. We advise that you order 10% more than required to allow for wastage during installation.

How are they installed?
