Plastering Before Installing Brick Slips

Are you tired of unsightly walls in your home due to age-related cracks and general wear and tear? You might think the only solution is to call in a plasterer, but that's not always the case. Enter brick slips!

Thanks to tile adhesive, brick slips can be applied directly to almost any surface, including brick finishes, plastered, plasterboard, or painted surfaces. Say goodbye to extra expenses and layers on your walls. There is no need to get plasterboard plastered or any surface if you are installing brick slips. The only exception is a poor surface that's very bumpy, out of shape, has loose debris, or is not sound. It's important to note that brick slips will follow the natural contour of your walls, so if your wall is bowed, your brick slip wall will follow suit.

Brick slips have a lot of benefits, making them a great choice to cover the ugliest of walls. We offer a range of brick slips to suit any home or style. Once installed, you won't have to worry about unsightly cracks catching your eye because they'll be well and truly hidden.

The best part about using brick slips is how easy they are to install. Unlike plastering, brick slips require minimal work, don't leave behind any unpleasant smells or mess, and can be done in a matter of hours. No need to clear the room to make space or spend days dealing with mess and waiting for plaster to dry. Once installed, you won't have to worry about painting or wallpapering either!

However, it's important to make a few considerations before installing brick slips. Make sure none of the existing plaster is blown or coming away from the wall, as this could cause the brick slips to fall off along with the plaster underneath.

In short, you can always turn to brick slips to transform your walls and leave them looking beautiful in no time!
