Transforming a blank surface into a Brick Clad Heaven!<\/h4>\n

Brick Veneer, external cladding brick slips offer great flexibility when combined with new home building techniques.<\/p>\n

Some call it Brick Veneer, some call it external brick slip cladding. In every sense they are the same thing.<\/p>\n

Whilst browsing online you will probably see new build houses that appear to be made from solid-brick.<\/p>\n

Masonry and brick work is traditional for UK house building. Its appearance is required on over 90% of UK planning applications.<\/p>\n

This finish adds value to a home because of its solid, durable reputation.<\/p>\n

However you may be surprised to know that many homes built especially within the last few years are not actually constructed of brick.<\/p>\n

How is this possible?<\/h3>\n

Although a solid brick built home is a strong structure.<\/p>\n

It can also be a very expensive method of house building.<\/p>\n

Especially in an age when technology enables new homes to be prefabricated.<\/p>\n

Prefabrication of homes is not a new thing but is now gaining huge momentum within the industry.<\/p>\n

Built in aircraft hanger sized factories, on production lines that half costs and decrease build times.<\/p>\n

This is the future of self builds as well as large scale housing.<\/p>\n

Timber structures with insulation panels and electrics built in require finishing only on site.<\/p>\n

To gain a finished appearance on site, a brick veneer of brick slips is applied by a team of tillers in a fraction of the time it would take to build the wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How does Brick Veneer differ from real brick?<\/h3>\n

The most important factor to take into account is that brick veneering and brick slips is not a structural part of the build.<\/p>\n

It is real masonry and is made from real clay so will give all the same aesthetics as a standard brick.<\/p>\n

The main difference is that a full brick will form part of the structure and will be load bearing and of structural importance.<\/p>\n

Can you tell the difference?<\/h3>\n

When installed and used correctly, using our real clay brick slips<\/a> you will never be able to distinguish the surface from that of a real solid brick.<\/p>\n

Our emphasis on using real clay cannot be more strong at this point.<\/p>\n

Concrete and resin brick veneer will leave the finished result looking faux.<\/p>\n

Faux brick walls are generally easy to spot as the colourings and repetitive nature of the pattern are easily identifiable.<\/p>\n

Real clay brick slips like the ones that we offer, really are the only way to guarantee that your external project will pass the \u201c are they real\u201d test.<\/p>\n

Real clay brick slips retain aesthetic benefits of full solid brickwork.<\/p>\n

Like any clay product, the surface will be durable and can be treated as any other brick surface<\/p>\n

Brick slips are a great way of providing a natural insulate barrier against the cold and heat.<\/p>\n
