What are ‘Brick Slips’?
Brick slips, sometimes known as ‘brick veneer’, ‘thin bricks’ or ‘brick cladding’, are thin tiles used to create the appearance of brickwork. They can be made from a variety of materials including clay, concrete and plastic/resin with each having their own properties.
Brick slips have been sold commercially for about fifty years (the first US patents appear in 1937) but have started to become a well known construction product due to the drive towards more sustainable and lightweight construction.
