More Information On Brick Slips

What Are Brick Slips? Brick Slips, otherwise know as brick tiles, brick veneers or slip bricks can either be casted specifically for a brick slip or in some case a thin section of a facing bricks. Brick slip cladding is used to give the appearance of either a modern or traditional exposed brick wall finish both internally and externally.

Traditionally used by architects to give new buildings a brick finish without the weight, labour and expense of using traditional bricks.Fast forward a decade and brick slips are being used by home owners to create their own traditional brick slip wall.Ourselves we focus on purpose made brick slips rather then brick slip facings, we do this because with facings there is a lack of consistency from one month to the next the hues, shadings etc will change.With a pre-casted brick slip this finish is replicated time and time again. Brick Slips vs Facing Brick SlipsCut brick and Brick slips might look similar in the essence they are both a thin slice of what appears to be brick but ttheir make up is vastly different.

Cut brick is traditionally a full brick that has had the facing slices of to give a small thin brick veneer, Typically these are around 15mm in thickness and measure 200mm x 58mm. Like our brick slips they are singular and installed one by one

With our Brick Slips, these are pre-casted using materials including pigment, cement and pumice. This allows us to cast a thinner brick slip (just 15mm thick) and lighter brick slips (up to 30% lighter then brick facings) in addition to these savings, there is also a cost saving element and a quality element. The quality of a pre-casted brick slip outweighs that of a Facing brick.

An example of this is brick slips that are heavily textured as they will add a rustic feel that is aged, giving a more relaxed and cosy vibe. If you opt for a brick slip that is smoother and sharper with less texture, then that will create a more energetic feel.

Of course, you have the colour to explore too. This can include red, yellow, white, grey and black as well as the mortar that is used between each brick slip.Every choice you make has an impact on the way in which your feature wall blends in or stands out. What’s more, many people choose to match their brick slips in with the exterior brick work, so that is something you might want to consider.

Therefore, this ensures that you can keep the look relatively uniform while giving your entire property plenty of character. Despite this, you shouldn’t feel held back by this because many people also choose to use different colour bricks.

Calculating Brick Slips

Boxes Of Brick Slips

Step 1: Measure the Wall Area

The first step in calculating how many boxes of brick slips you need is measuring the wall you plan to cover. Use a tape measure to find the width and height of the wall in meters.

For example:

  • Wall width: 4 meters
  • Wall height: 2.5 meters

To calculate the total wall area, multiply the width by the height:

4 × 2.5 = 10 square meters

This means your wall has a total surface area of 10 square meters.

Step 2: Subtract Doors, Windows, or Gaps

If your wall includes doors, windows, fireplaces, or other areas that will not be covered with brick slips, subtract those areas from the total.

For instance:

  • Window size: 1.2 m × 1.0 m = 1.2 square meters

Subtract this from the total wall area:

10 − 1.2 = 8.8 square meters

This adjusted figure is the actual area that needs to be covered with brick slips.

Step 3: Understand Box Coverage

You are working on the basis that one box of brick slips covers 0.5 square meters. This is the key figure used for all calculations.

To find the number of boxes required, divide your total wall area by the coverage per box:

8.8 ÷ 0.5 = 17.6 boxes

Since you can’t buy a fraction of a box, you must round up, not down.

So in this case, you would need 18 boxes of brick slips.

Step 4: Allow for Wastage

It is always recommended to order extra brick slips to account for wastage. Cuts around edges, corners, sockets, or pattern matching can lead to offcuts that cannot be reused. Most professionals suggest adding 10% extra, though for complex layouts or herringbone patterns, 15% may be safer.

Continuing the example:

  • Required boxes: 18
  • 10% of 18 = 1.8

Rounded up, you should add 2 extra boxes, bringing the total to:

20 boxes of brick slips

This buffer helps ensure you don’t run short midway through installation.

Step 5: Consider Pattern and Layout

The way you plan to install your brick slips can influence how many boxes you need. A traditional horizontal layout usually results in less waste, while more decorative patterns such as staggered, vertical, or mixed-colour designs may require additional cuts.

If your design includes:

  • External or internal corners
  • Feature borders
  • Mixed brick tones from multiple boxes

It’s especially important to order extra to maintain consistency in colour and texture.

Step 6: Why Ordering Enough Matters

Brick slips are often manufactured in batches, and slight colour variations can occur between production runs. Ordering enough boxes at the start ensures all your brick slips come from the same batch, giving your wall a more uniform and professional finish.

Running out and reordering later can lead to visible differences in shade, which can be difficult to fix once installed, plus increased delivery costs.

Quick Formula Summary

To calculate how many boxes of brick slips you need:

  1. Measure wall width × height = total area
  2. Subtract doors and windows
  3. Divide remaining area by 0.5
  4. Round up to the nearest whole number
  5. Add 10–15% for wastage
Final Thoughts

Calculating how many boxes of brick slips you need doesn’t have to be complicated. By carefully measuring your wall, understanding that each box covers 0.5 square meters, and allowing for wastage, you can order with confidence and avoid unnecessary delays. A little planning at the start goes a long way toward achieving a clean, professional-looking brick slip wall that enhances your space and lasts for years.

Corner Brick Slips

Step 1: Measure the Total Linear Metres of Corners

Unlike standard brick slips, which are calculated in square metres, corner brick slips are measured in linear metres. Start by identifying every external corner that will be finished with corner pieces.

Measure the vertical height of each corner in metres. If you have multiple corners, add their heights together to get a total linear measurement.

For example:

  • Corner 1: 2.4 metres
  • Corner 2: 2.4 metres
  • Corner 3: 1.2 metres

Total linear metres = 6.0 metres

Step 2: Apply the Coverage Rate

You are working on the basis that 14 corner brick slips cover 1 linear metre. To calculate the number of corner pieces required, multiply the total linear metres by 14.

Using the example above:

  • 6.0 linear metres × 14 = 84 corner brick slips

This gives you the base number required to cover all corners.

Step 3: Round Up Where Necessary

If your total linear measurement results in a decimal (for example, 3.6 metres), always round up to the nearest full number of corner brick slips. Rounding down risks leaving gaps at the top or bottom of a corner, which can compromise the finish.

Step 4: Allow for Wastage

As with standard brick slips, it’s important to allow extra corner brick slips for wastage. Cuts, alignment adjustments, and minor breakages can occur during installation. A sensible allowance is 10% extra, especially if you are working with uneven walls or multiple corners.

For example:

  • 84 corner brick slips + 10% (8.4)
  • Rounded up = 93 corner brick slips
