Selecting the Right Blend

Reclaimed Style Brick Slips - Rustic and Timeless

Textured and worn, to create truly uniquely blended brickwork with the most organic finish. Our reclaimed style brick slips are cut from new bricks for current quality standards but have a rustic finish from tumbling.
Red Multi Traditional Brick Slips

Traditional Brick Slips - Classic Brickwork

Classic brickwork, the beauty of natural variation from fired clay in various colours and textures. The traditional collection can have a slight bow due to manufacturing processes but are more consistent in shape than the reclaimed style.

Mortar Choice

In specifying brick slips for an interior design project, you will need to consider the mortar colour, and profile.

These two aspects pull the whole look together, making it lighter or darker, more or less colourful, and give a different kind of look.

Mortar Colour

It makes a big difference.

Specifying as Flooring

Brick slips are cut from bricks meant for walls, however there is no reason not to use them on the floor.
They all have excellent slip testing results (you can request these where required), and conduct heat at a perfect rate for underfloor heating.

The only downside is the texture, which is a big part of what makes it beautiful, can also cause rocking of chair legs, and places for dust to gather, regular cleaning and padded legs will solve these.

Brick Sealant being applied to a wall

Brick Slip Sealant

Our brick slips in most instances don't require a sealant to protect them or anything around them.

We do recommend using our brick slip sealant when installing them in a shower unit. We recommend also sealing other bathroom applications, kitchen splashbacks and flooring use, to make cleaning easier.

Make sure they are bone dry from installation before applying.

Authenticity

The main consideration in the design is where your brickwork ends. To ensure it's as authentic as possible, always end at an internal corner, where the slips will butt up against another surface. If you leave the end tiles exposed then people will be able to see it as simply tiles, which detracts slightly from the overall effect.

Substrates

Most often internally you'll be installing onto plasterboard, or cement board. We do not recommend installing onto OSB or MDF. If the plasterboard is being put in as new, you don't need to skim plaster on top, you'll only need to score through this anyway so there's no point in adding the extra cost to the project.

We can also provide brick slip backer boards if you prefer.
