There’s no denying, bare exposed brick walls add warmth and character to a space. An ever growing interior trend that’s as strong as ever.
With the UK being a brick building country, a lot of people are lucky enough to find good internal brick walls in their home. When you have this luxury then processing, cleaning and leaving them exposed is a simple task.
Sadly this is not the case for many homeowners!
What do you do if beneath the plaster your brickwork is less than perfect, or non existent?
In the past the only real option was to source reclaimed bricks from a reclamation yard or try to re-use bricks from walls taken down elsewhere within your property.
This method of creating an internal brick feature wall is always trying and rarely yields great results due to the quality of the bricks and cutting.
Real clay brick slips are the answer!
If you’re exposed brick project requires a reclaimed look then brick slips are the new modern way of creating your perfect feature wall.
Using handmade and reclaimed bricks we make sure that only the best bricks are cut into brick slips.
Products like our Olde Victorian Red blend brick and London reclaimed stock come with an age and patina that only history itself can supply.
Exposed brick with timber and concrete
Teaming exposed brick slip walls with other raw materials such as timber flooring or concrete yields great results.
The colours and texture of timber and gritty gorgeous concrete help brick out an earthy or industrial edge to a design.
Colour is key!
Where colour is concerned, neutrals and monochrome work well with brick – and leafy green is always a natural partner.
If you like monochrome as a look then why not create a monochrome brick wall. Products like our Silver grey, Monsoon and Atom Grey look flawless within a monochrome styled modern room.
At the opposite end of the monochromatic scale, a whitewashed looking Manhattan brick slip wall brings rustic texture together with modern colour creating a highly contemporary look.
