Retrofit and new build · Traditional look, modern build-up

Brick slip systems

The look of traditional brickwork without the weight, on EWI or rainscreen carriers. Award-recognised work for one of the North West’s largest housing providers.

Brick slip systemsBrick slip systems

Overview

Brick slips let a building keep a familiar, traditional appearance while gaining a modern, insulated wall. They’re ideal where planners want brick, or where a retrofit needs to blend into its street.

On the Rochdale bungalow estate we stripped the old cladding, added stud and mineral wool insulation, carrier boards and a render basecoat, then finished with brick slips. The project earned an industry accreditation award.

    FAQs

    Common questions.

    Are brick slips non-combustible?
    Clay brick slips are A1. The overall system class depends on the adhesive, carrier and insulation, so we specify the full build-up to suit the building.
    Can you match existing brickwork?
    Yes. We source slips and mortar to match, and produce sample panels for sign-off before work starts.
    Do they work with external wall insulation?
    Yes. Brick slips on a mineral wool EWI system is one of the most common retrofit build-ups we install.
