Choosing the right Brick Slips and Brick Tile

If you are looking for revamping your home with a brand-new makeover,  then brick slips are perfect for you. There is a reason why brick slips have become so popular, as they allow you to create a fabulous exposed brick feature wall, whilst adding value to your home, but without the a large amount of effort or cost

With so many different textures and colours to choose from, you can create almost any look in your home and have a cost-effective, durable, eye catching wall in any room throughout your home. 

Brick effect tiles have become increasingly popular in the last few years, as they provide a brick-like look both inside and outside your home, whilst saving both money and space than using real bricks. 

Brick slips can be used both internally and externally, making them very versatile. They can be used in full rooms, smaller feature walls, fireplaces, kitchens, or complete building exteriors. They are perfect for new builds, extensions, or just simply renovating your current walls if they are starting to look tired and old. As the exposed brick look has become more and more popular, the demand for brick slips is growing and as such, a wide variety of materials, designs and colours are now available.

What Are Brick Slips?

Brick slips are either purpose made brick tiles or thin cuts of brick, that you can used both internally and externally. They are commonly used to replicate the appearance of a real brick wall.

Our brick slips come in different sizes, styles, and finishes, but popular options often include a weathered appearance, as this gives a rustic looks similar to the external brick walls and with the right accessories you can create a beautiful, durable and long-lasting stunning feature wall

They are a very popular with demand increasing over the last few years and we have a wide variety of options available to cater for preference. Brick slips are also breathable, durable,  non-combustible and tested against both heat and cold. They are made from recyclable materials, making them energy efficient and whilst providing a stunning look you will be proud of.  

Brick slips are primarily used for their aesthetic appeal, as they offer a quick and practical alternative to conventional bricks. 

Cut bricks v Purpose made slips

Cut bricks was the traditional way of obtaining bricks slips at the turn of the century, but due to the cost of the buying bricks, the labour cost, and limitations in colour and style purpose made brick slips have become more and more popular

The purpose made bricks slips offer a much cleaner and easier to maintain finish, then cut bricks, which is obviously much more suitable for internal use.

Purpose made brick slips are made from clay or recycled materials and are purposely designed to offer a look that is not always possible from cut bricks. They are made with the surface of real bricks, to replicate the appearance of a real brick wall, but can be altered to offer an older, rustic/distressed look that is hard to obtain from cutting newer bricks

If you want to make a style statement in your home or business without wanting to pay over the odds, then purchasing brick slips for your walls is the perfect idea 

Both of these make for excellent interior wall covering and it’s a great way to add style to older homes, without losing its original feel.
