Brick slips are an extremely durable product and are an obvious choice in high traffic areas which subject to wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p>The size and method of installation make brick slips great at hiding imperfections in a wall especially when you\u2019re working with an uneven surface.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, brick slips are commonly selected because they look great. Brick slips offer a rich, rustic look that only cannot be provided by any other material.<br \/>\nBrick seal your brick slip wall<\/p>\n<p>Although brick slips can be left in their natural state a key to keeping the surface protected is to seal it once installation is complete.<\/p>\n<p>Left unsealed, as robust and hard wearing as brick is the surface is porous and can attract dirt and dust which if left to accumulate can be difficult to clean.<\/p>\n<p>Liquids are easily absorbed into untreated brick slips which if coloured can cause stains.<\/p>\n<p>Personal choice and preference always plays a part in the decision to seal or not to seal. Common sense and practicality play a part in making the decision for you.<\/p>\n<p>Brick is naturally hardwearing and will last much longer than most wall coverings. To conclude, our advice would be that if the surface is going to be subjected to splashed, increased levels of dirt and dust then sealing using a brick sealer is most certainly the way forward.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Why not Ask Andy!<\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re in doubt then give Andy a shout in the comments box below!<\/p>\n<p>Also, be sure to check back in here for future additions to our popular \u201cAsk Andy\u201d column.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Welcome to Ask Andy, the go to place for those questions that you might need the answers too.
