Why use brick slips?
Brick slipsOur brick slips are approx. 20mm thick but with the same high-quality properties as brick, being dimensionally stable, robust, low maintenance, non-flammable, and with excellent resistance to frost. Our range of brick slips offers the same choice of face sizes and colours as our range of bricks.
- They are space-saving. If a brick appearance is required but there isn’t sufficient space on plan for whole bricks.
- They are lighter weight than whole bricks. If a brick appearance is required but traditional brick construction is too heavy.
- They are ideal used in combination with insulation: brick slips can be bonded straight on to insulation panels, refer to Vandersanden’s E-Board® external wall insulated brick slip system for further information.
