Unfortunately not, as the delivery drivers will not be insured to strip down the pallet and take the goods into your home, as they would be responsible for any damage to the products or your home in the event of an accident. Strictly speaking, delivery is kerbside only, with the customer expected to take the goods responsibility of the goods, once they have signed for the pallet.

We have put together a hints and tips guide which can be accessed by clicking here > Brick Slip Fitting Guide. If you require further help or advice please feel free to contact us

We recommend using flexible tile adhesive and you should allow a period of 24-36 hours before applying the mortar. If you plan to fit near a fire or log burner, use heat resistant flexible adhesive

As the majority of our brick slips are handmade, they can vary in size and are therefore not always suitable with tracking systems. Cement backer boards can be used to offer guidance on course lines if required.

We recommend starting with the external corners, if you require them, if not, then start at the bottom- in the centre. Use an adhesive trowel to spread a cm on the wall, and apply it to each tile before pressing firmly on the wall with slight movement to make it stick nicely, and insert the required amount of spacers in between

Brick slips are less expensive to transport, and simpler and faster to install compared to their traditional counterparts. Additionally, brick slips are long lasting and can withstand extreme temperatures, making them a great choice for both internal and external applications.

You can cut brick slips using a standard electric tile cutter or mitre saw. Kuci Brick slips are approximately 15-16mm thick and as a result most tile saws will be able to cut them, as long as the right blade and cutting depth are selected.

Yes brick slips are simple and easy to install. The main principles of installation are the same as standard tiles. A rapid setting adhesive is used to glue the brick slips to a suitably chosen substrate, with a 10 mm joint recommended

Adhesive coverage will vary depending on brand. If you order our Larsen adhesive you should be able to fit 4.5m2 (depending on usage thickness and wastage)

10mm is the usual size of the mortar joint on brickwork in the UK, as this is the optimal point of strength, however, with brick tiles, you don't have to keep to this. Most people tend to keep to 10mm to replicate the look of a brick wall, but if you prefer larger joints and more mortar that's fine too Additionally we may want to have a bigger joint if you are using brick slips in a small area and by extending the joint slightly, it means eradicating the need for small cuts etc

The hard way would be to mix a semi dry sand and cement mortar and to apply this with a trowel. Whilst this method can cost less in materials, it is much more labour intensive and requires significant patience. The easy way to point a brick slip wall is to use our bagged lime based mortar, which can be applied with a pointing gun or pointing bag

Whilst not mandatory, seal the brick slips will offer a level of protection and make them easier to clean. If you plan to seal them, doing this before the pointing will also help protect the brick slips from being stained with pointing mortar residue. It's important that you obtain a matt sealant (unless you want a gloss finish of course) and always test the sealant on an offcut or unused piece and leave for 24 hours, before applying to the wall, so you can confirm the finish is as desired

Yes you can. Brick Slips are easy to install and are perfect for DIY enthusiasts. As our brick slips have a rustic appearance any slight mistakes are usually not noticeable. Brick Slips are one of the best way to add character to your home by creating a stunning feature wall

Using bricks slips requires the individual units to be joined together. Traditional mortar Is workable and dense, so it creates a solid and stable joint. This can be applied with a pointing gun or point bag We would not recommend using grout instead of mortar for brick slips

While sand-cement mixes are robust and can be used on brick slips, they are rigid and have the potential for moisture issues make. Therefore we recommend using a lime mortar for pointing brick slips.

Yes, a tiler can fit brick slips. Brick slips are essentially a thin cut of brick that can be applied to a wall like a tile. However check with the tiler (or tradesman) that he comfortable pointing the brick slips. Many tilers are, but some have not used mortar before and may be reluctant to point!

Its recommended to use PVA primer to seal the substrate before fitting brick slips. Using a wire brush it is advised that all loose debris and dust is removed from the substrate. Once clean and dry use a PVA primer by mixing 1 part PVA with 4 parts water.

Yes! You can apply brick slips on to plaster board using a rapid setting adhesive, as long as the Plasterboard is stable Most adhesive manufacturers recommend applying brick slips directly on to dry board.

If you choose to seal your brick slips in order to protect from absorbing water, simply paint the sealant onto your slips and mortar once completely dry from installation (this could be up to 2 week). The sealant will soak into the brick slips, and dry out in a couple of days to end up with a complete barrier against water. Its important to always test your sealant against an unused slip or offcut and leave for 24 hours before applying to wall to ensure you have purchased the correct sealant

Using a rapid setting brick slip adhesive, you can adhere them to most surfaces. The most common are plasterboard, cement board and masonry. However we don't recommend tiling onto Plywood, OSB or MDF as they are substrates that could weaken over time

Using a rapid setting brick slip adhesive, you can adhere them to most surfaces. The most common are plasterboard, cement board and masonry. However we don't recommend tiling onto Plywood, OSB or MDF as they are substrates that could weaken over time

Brick slips can be used on all manner of structures and systems, including steel, wood, plaster, etc.

If they are not fitted properly, they could start to crumble, fall off or crack. Which is why we recommend using our Rapid Setting Adhesive which has been specifically designed for Brick Slips.

Internal Application For the interior of homes or buildings, the installation of brick slips usually doesn’t require planning permission. It’s typically seen as cosmetic – similar to changing wallpapers or painting. However, always ensure that any interior changes still meet local building regulations, especially concerning safety or your landlord. External Application If you’re considering brick slips for the external façade of your home or building, the scenario might call for more scrutiny. Changing the external appearance of a building can sometimes require planning permission, especially if: 1. Your building is listed or in a conservation area. 2. The change is deemed a drastic deviation from the existing appearance. 3. Local regulations have specific guidelines about façade changes. It’s always prudent to consult with your local council or planning authority before making significant external changes, including installing brick slips.

This can be a great way to add a unique and rustic touch to your home. However we do not recommend installing our brick slips as an alternaitve flooring as they have not been 'stress tested' for walking etc

Because the surface of the slips are made to look and feel like a real brick (textured and porous), they can get collect dust and dirt over time. We have created the following cleaning guide to help with maintenance and you could also seal them with a matt sealant post fitting if you prefer https://www.kucidesign.co.uk/single-post/how-do-i-clean-brick-slips

Brick Slips and Brick Tiles are usually the same product, however due to their rising popularity they have developed the two names. Brick Slips or Slip Bricks are the more traditional name given to the product * However sometimes a brick looking porcelain tile may use the Brick Tiles name

Yes, brick slips can be used in the bathroom, however if they are likely to get we (i.e behind a shower) we would recommend sealing both the brick slips individually before fitting and the brick slips and mortar post fitting to offer more protection

The brick slips are fitted to the wall using a rapid setting tile adhesive

Brick slips are specially manufactured tiles which when installed have the appearance, colour and texture of a real brick wall. ​ Brick slips can also be called a wide variety of names, including slip bricks, brick cladding, brick slips cladding, brick tiles, thin bricks and brick veneers. ​ If you're looking for a quick and cost efficient way to create a rustic interior feature wall or to clad the exterior of your home in brick, then brick slips are just what you're looking for ​ Brick Slips are used to look like full bricks, but without the need of actually using full size bricks, hence saving both space and money

There are a different ways to manufacturer brick slips ​ Reclaimed Brick Slips ​ These are made from cutting the front of reclaimed bricks. However as some older brick styles have become harder to obtain, due to the labour intensive nature of producing the slips and as the bricks are often very old and break whilst cutting, the cost of Reclaimed brick slips has made them less and less cost effective Clay Brick Slips Traditionally bricks are made using clay and this is a popular method of making moulded brick slips too. Clay Slip Bricks tend to be better priced than reclaimed brick slips, but can be limited in colour range and style ​ Cast Brick Slips Cast brick slips are made from concrete, which enables a large range of colours and blends to be offered and because they're made using concrete, they're durable, can be used both indoors and outdoors and are also heat resistant Once fitted on the wall and pointed up, the brick slips look like real brick and are usually slightly cheaper than Clay Brick slips. ​ Kuci Design offer a mixture of both Clay and Concrete brick slips, so if you have a preference please feel free to contact us to discuss further. However the vast majority of our customers choose based on the finished look rather than the material they are made from.

The majority of people do not use a sealant as the rustic and textured style is why they chose brick slips in the first place and they are highly durable, so sealing them is not a must. However, if they are to be used in a environment where frequent cleaning will be required (behind a hob etc), or if you just have a clean freak in your house, it might be best to apply an appropriate sealant to protect the brick slip surface and to make them easier to clean. Likewise an untreated slip brick can absorb liquid fairly easily due to their porous nature. so if you are planning to use them externally or behind a sink for example, it's also best to seal the brick slips. However whatever sealant you buy, make sure to test it on an unused slip or offcut and leave for 24 hours prior to applying to the wall, to make sure you have purchased the correct sealant that gives you the desire finished

At a very high level, the individual slips are fitted to the wall using tile adhesive, allowing for 10mm spaces between them. A piping gun or piping bag is then used to mortar the gaps between the slips (this is called pointing), before using a jointing tool to compress the mortar and remove any voids/air pockets. Then as the mortar has dried apply a wire brush to remove any excess. ​ We offer a more detailed Brick slip fitting guide via this link and youtube offers a wide range of fitting videos. ​ The key to fitting brick slips (like most DIY jobs) is the preparation. Laying out the slips prior to fitting is recommended, especially for multi coloured blends and it's vital to ensure you have the right tools and materials ready and available before you start.
