This is the core item and is the main tile which can be used to create many bond patterns.<\/p>\n Headers –<\/strong> These are the short face of a brick, Although headers can be used as “half bricks” they are mostly used to create specific brick bond patterns within the wall.<\/p>\n Corners –<\/strong> Corners are one of the most important types of brick effect tiles. Corners when used in 90 degree wall joints and door\/window reveals give that unbeatable illusion of actual brickwork.\u00a0 Our advice with corners is use them, you can cut corners by butt jointing standard slips but this spoils the whole illusion of what you want to create.<\/p>\n Stretcher Reveals –<\/strong> Used for the underside of windows and doors.
