Brick Slips & Brick Tiles

Brick slips are one of the most practical ways to create an exposed brick finish without building a full structural brick wall. They are sometimes called brick tiles, brick slip tiles, brick veneers or brick cladding, but the purpose is the same: a slim brick face that gives the look, shade variation and texture of real brickwork while being easier to fit across homes and commercial spaces. For customers who want the character of reclaimed brick, rustic red brickwork, painted-style brick tiles or weathered feature walls, this collection is designed to make choosing and ordering simple.

The main advantage of brick tiles is flexibility. They can be used on chimney breasts, fireplace surrounds, media walls, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, shop interiors, restaurants, garden rooms and exterior walls. Because brick slips are fitted like tiles, they are ideal for renovation projects where full bricks would be too deep, heavy or disruptive. A brick slip wall can add warmth to a modern room, create an industrial feature wall, bring a traditional cottage feel to a fireplace or give an outside wall the appearance of proper brick cladding.

If you are looking for fireplace brick slips, start by choosing a finish that suits the stove, hearth and surrounding room. Rustic red brick slips are a popular choice around log burners because they create a traditional fireplace look. Weathered and darker blends can make a chimney breast feel older and more characterful, while lighter brick tiles can soften a room where the décor is already dark. For fireplace projects, corner brick slips are especially useful on returns and visible edges because they create the look of full bricks wrapping around the corner rather than a cut tile edge.

Colour choice matters. Red brick slips are often chosen for classic feature walls, fireplaces and exterior brick cladding. Grey brick slips can suit modern kitchens, media walls and industrial interiors. White and cream brick tiles are useful where customers want texture without making the room feel smaller or darker. Yellow and buff brick slips can work well in period properties or rooms where a warmer London brick style is needed. Ordering samples is the best way to compare these colours properly because brick slips can look different depending on natural light, artificial light, mortar colour, paint colours and nearby flooring.

Measuring your wall correctly helps prevent delays and unnecessary waste. Multiply the height by the width of each wall to get the square metre area. Add around 10% extra for cuts and wastage, especially where the wall has sockets, returns, alcoves or awkward cuts. Our brick slip calculator on this page uses a simple 0.5m² box guide to help estimate boxes quickly. If your project has visible outside corners, chimney breast edges or returns, measure the total vertical metres separately so you can order the correct number of corner brick slips as well as flat slips.

Installation accessories are an important part of the finish. The right adhesive, spacers and pointing mortar help the brick slips stay secure and give the finished wall the appearance of genuine brickwork. Customers planning a DIY project should read the brick slips installation guide before starting, then choose suitable products from our brick slip accessories range. Proper preparation, level setting-out lines and consistent spacing are what make the finished wall look professional.

External brick slips are also useful for outdoor projects, garden walls, porches and extension details where a brick effect finish is required. When used externally, it is important to prepare the surface correctly and use suitable materials. Brick slips can help new blockwork, rendered sections or tired walls look more traditional without rebuilding the full structure. They are also a strong option for customers who want a brick cladding look but need a slimmer profile than full-size brickwork.
