Question 2: Do brick slips have the same quality as full bricks?

Covering a facade with cut brick slips is a sustainable and ecological alternative to using traditional bricks. You can finish the same surface area with the same number of bricks, but leave yourself more space for insulation. You can go the even more environmentally-friendly route by opting for ECO brick slips.

ECO brick slips are not cut from full bricks, but moulded and fired as slips. This helps to reduce material loss and consumption of raw materials and energy.
