Welcome to Ask Andy, the go to place for those questions that you might need the answers too.
Lets take a look at answering some of your recent questions!
Can you have a feature wall in kitchen?
Yes you can have a feature wall in kitchen.
The kitchen is one of the most popular locations for using brick slips.
A brick slip feature wall in a kitchen can help to break up the various structures and appliances that make up the room.
Brick slips are hard wearing and robust making them a perfect choice for a kitchen feature wall.
Ideas and Inspiration
Industrial, contemporary and Shaker are the most preferred styles of kitchen in the UK. Including a brick slip feature wall can allow a design to go beyond these remits.
With the addition of exposed brick work these kitchens can be given a more Farmhouse, Mediterranean, Victorian and even Coastal feel.
With the kitchen being the heart and soul of the family home, making that extra special effort with wall coverings can go a long way.
Can brick slips be used externally?
Yes! One of the biggest uses for brick slips is for external cladding.
Brick slips are used alongside and as part of a variety of new building systems.
External brick slip cladding has the benefit of being light and quick to install.
Buildings can be completed to look like traditional builds while utilising modern quick construction methods.
Various systems
Brick slips can be used to clad most external cladding systems including , EWI, SIPS, Durisol Block and standard timber frame. All systems have their own method of installation and benefits.
The biggest benefit of using brick slips is that a traditional look can be kept.
Made from real clay bricks
Our products are manufactured using real clay bricks. When installed externally all brick slips weather in exactly the same way as their parent counterparts. The same frost rating which applies to the brick then applies to the brick slip.
