Boxes

Our boxes are sold with enough brick slips to cover half a square meter or 0.5m2 when used with 10mm spacers. To work out the amount you need simply calculate your area.

For example a wall measuring 2 meters x 2 meters is 4 square meters. Our boxes cover 0.5 square meters so you would need 8 boxes of brick tiles.

Corners

Corner brick slips are sold individually and you would need 14 corners to cover 1 meter in height. For example, if you have a chimney breast that measures 2 meters high on both corners you would need 4 meters of corners. 4 x 14 = 56 corners in total.

We do advise ordering an extra 10% in both boxes and corners to allow for cuts and wastage.

The dimensions given for our brick slips have a tolerance of 3mm more or less then the below as these are hand-crafted brick slips made by humans here in the UK.

What You need

Materials For Installing Brick Slips

The materials you need can vary but in general, the below are advised. If you have any questions about the advised materials for your brick slips, do let us know.

1. Brick Slips
2. Adhesive
3. Primer
4. Mortar
5. Sealer (optional)

You want to use a 6mm notched tile trowel and a mixing trowel. For your first row you want to start from the centre of the wall.

You can go either left or right of this. Fit your first brick slip by spreading the adhesive to the back of the brick slip and the wall and pressing it against the wall. The continue to install the next brick slip placing a 10mm spacer in between them until, your row is almost complete.

Now that you have installed brick slips along the bottom row you will probably have a gap that is smaller then a whole brick slip. This is where cutting comes in to play. Measure the remaining space e.g 40mm, you will then deduct 10mm (to allow for the spacer) and mark your brick slip at 30mm. Using a wet tile saw or angle grinder, cut this peice from the brick slip. Once cut you will then spread adhesive on the rear and place this in the final gap with the cut end of the piece facing the edge of the wall.

Now that you have your first row complete, the next row, you will start offset from the first row to create a brick pattern.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION:

The Benefits of Brick-Slips UK?

• Unlike others we do not use 20mm cut brick slips. Our brick slips are hand made here in the UK. This ensures your blend is consistent, with no variation from your samples. We create our Brick Slips using a mix of cement and pumice to give a pre-casted finish. Our Brick Slips are up to 30% lighter and 25% slimmer then Clay Brick Slips.

• Another benefit of brick slips is that they are super easy to install! All brick slips are installed just as you would with tiles. Using adhesive to fix them to the wall and then instead of grouting you just use sand and cement pointing mix to give it that real brick finish. 

• Because our Brick Slips are pre-casted using cement and pumice they are Fire Rated A so can be used anywhere in or outside the home as they are non-combustible. A further benefit that no other brick slip can offer, is that our Brick Slips are sealed before we deliver them to you!

• Brick Slips are also known by other names such as Brick Tiles, Brick Cladding, Brick Panels and Brick Effect tiles. No matter what you call them, our brick slips will look amazing in your home!
