Also known as brick tiles, brick slips offer the appeal of real brick without the weight of a full brick. They are cut from existing full-size bricks or manufactured separately. Slips cut from real bricks retain their natural colour, with their various shades, textures, and subtle variations.
They are significantly lighter than real bricks, and this makes installation easier. At Brick Wholesale, we provide original bricks for slip cuts that are safe for indoor installation and for use on suitable exterior surfaces when installed with appropriate adhesive and substrate.
We offer a wide range of bricks available in the following brick slip cuts:
