Modern brick slips are becoming more and more prominent within the brick cladding industry, and for good reason.
Its fair to say that across both traditional schemes and contemporary schemes, brick as a design feature is back. The resurgence has meant that it is being used in more and more interesting ways.
Brick is no longer boring, brick slips are quickly catching up with both timber and render as external cladding options. It is not just external projects that have seen benefits of real brick slip cladding.
Designers, home owners and shop fitters have also jumped on to the popularity of these wonderfully versatile products.
More and more internal spaces are featuring classic brick slip feature walls Traditional brick slip walls help to evoke warmth and comfort. Modern brick slip walls help to define space and create unity and promote artistic expression.
Our Modern Vision
As market leaders and manufacturers of brick slips, our influence within the industry is embrionic, we are constantly helping to shape the future.
We have identified that within many modern design projects the more plain the brick the more striking the overall effect can be.
Unlike the continent, in the UK most designs still preference the use of a traditional brick slip but in a contemporary context.
Our Modern brick slips help to challenge that thought process and offer a great lightweight alternative modern aesthetic.
The Elite Collection
As mentioned above, the volume, weight and thickness of brick slips can be an important factor when looking at brick slip cladding.
Aesthetically, modern brick slips do not have the natural individuality that a traditional or reclaimed brick slip has, instead they have engineered consistency and uniformity. Attributes that are highly sought after within modern designs.
Most standard brick slips are cut to a standard thickness of 20mm, this is due to the creases and surface undulations of the brick. It is often difficult to cut traditional and reclaimed brick any thinner due to high breakage rate.
Our Elite Collection are a range of modern brick slips that are manufactured, and specially engineered to a consistent thickness of 14mm.
As our manufacturing technology has improved eliminating unnecessary waste is a high priority.
Our quality products are designed and manufactured to use less clay. They are extruded in the exact same manner as full standard bricks.
Great for Specification
Environmental awareness has forced the design and construction profession to re-evaluate how we use our material resources. It has redefined the industry’s performance expectations. When a project demands a brick appearance but to a lighter specification, Elite brick slips bridge that gap between performance, environmental credentials, and the project budgets.
Manufactured to the same strict guidelines as the rest of our products. These product lines clearly offer different features and additional benefits to designers and installers.
