What are brick slips and how are they used?

What are brick slips? You’ve probably heard of brick slips and brick tiles, but what are they? Brick slips, or brick tiles, are thin slices of brick that are cut to a thickness of around 20mm. These thin, lightweight slices of brick are used as tiles to replicate the look of genuine, exposed brickwork. The terms ‘brick slips’ and ‘brick tiles’ are often used interchangeably, and it is usually at the discretion of the supplier which one they use. As a supplier, we provide them cut from a full-sized brick and prefer to use the term ‘brick slips.’ Slips are very versatile and are often used in a variety of construction and renovation projects, such as feature walls, fireplaces, and even exterior facades.
