At Brickhunter, we help you source the perfect brick slips for any project - whether you're transforming an interior space, enhancing your home's exterior, or adding texture to a commercial development.
What are brick slips?
Brick slips are thin slices of brick, typically around 20mm in thickness, designed to replicate the appearance of a full brick wall. They are either cut directly from full-sized bricks or manufactured as purpose-made slips, retaining all the character, texture, and colour of traditional brickwork.
Once installed, brick slips are virtually indistinguishable from conventional brick walls. They can be used both internally and externally, offering flexibility and creativity for architects, designers, builders, and homeowners.
Why choose brick slips?
There are many benefits to choosing brick slips for your next project:
1 Lightweight and space saving
Unlike full bricks, brick slips are lightweight and require far less depth for installation. This makes them ideal for projects where space is limited, such as internal feature walls, kitchen splashbacks, or loft conversions.
2 Authentic brick aesthetic
Brick slips provide the genuine look of brickwork, enhancing any space with texture, warmth, and character. Whether you’re going for a rustic, reclaimed look or a sleek, modern finish, there's a brick slip to match your style.
3 Easy to install
Brick slips are easier and quicker to install than full bricks. They can be fixed directly to existing walls using adhesive and grouted to mimic real brick joints. This makes them a popular choice for both DIY projects and professional installations.
4 Versatile applications
Brick slips can be used in a wide range of settings, including:
⦿ Interior feature walls
⦿ Kitchen and bathroom splashbacks
⦿ Fireplace surrounds
⦿ Exterior cladding
⦿ Garden walls and landscaping
⦿ Retail, hospitality, and office spaces
5 Cost effective solution
Because brick slips require less material and labour than traditional brickwork, they are often a more cost-effective option - without compromising on appearance or durability.
Where can you use brick slips?
Brick slips are an excellent choice for a range of residential and commercial applications. Here are some popular uses:
⦿ Interior walls Create an industrial loft vibe in your living room or a cosy, rustic feel in the bedroom. Brick slips add texture and personality to any interior space.
⦿ Kitchens and bathrooms Thanks to their slim profile and ease of cleaning, brick slips are a perfect alternative to tiles in kitchens and bathrooms. Choose sealed or glazed options for moisture-prone areas.
⦿ Fireplaces and chimney breasts Enhance the focal point of your room by cladding your fireplace in brick slips. They can withstand high temperatures and create a homely, timeless finish.
⦿ Exterior cladding Transform the exterior of your property with brick slip cladding. They’re ideal for extensions, garden walls, or refreshing tired facades.
⦿ Commercial spaces From restaurants and cafes to shops and office buildings, brick slips are widely used in commercial design to create inviting, brand-aligned environments.
