Brick slips and brick tiles

Brick slips (also known as brick tiles, or brick effect tiles) are a cost-effective way to achieve the appearance of traditional brickwork without the weight or depth of full bricks. These specially manufactured tiles are widely used across the UK for both interiors and external applications, offering a practical solution for feature walls and facades. Whether you’re fitting a brick slip fireplace in a period home or using them on a modern build, they provide a durable, low-maintenance finish. Many builders also use brick tiles in commercial spaces or for residential projects, where a brick effect is needed but full brickwork isn’t practical.

Brick effect tiles are also a popular choice for refurbishments, especially where weight restrictions apply, or a quicker installation is required. A brick slip wall can add character to a space, while external brick slip cladding is ideal for improving insulation and weather resistance. With different colours, textures, and finishes available, brick slip tiles offer flexibility without compromising durability.
