Faro Granit Smooth Facade Brick Slip - 240mm x 14mm x 71mm

240mm x 14mm x 71mm Faro Granit Natural Gery Brick Slips are designed to replicate the look of masonry that can be glued directly to substrate or fitted to a backing board. They They are lightweight compared to bricks and have an unusual light and darker shades of grey colour smooth face and are highly resistant to external factors, including water, frost, wind and fire. These clinker bricks are denser, heavier than standard bricks and gives out a metallic sound they make when struck together. They are suitable for both contemporary and traditional projects. Installing brick slips is cheaper and is a great way to upgrade existing walls without adding too much thickness. Fired at temperatures exceeding 1,000 °C, these brick slips are crafted entirely from genuine, pure clay. This renders them exceptionally resistant to frost and heat, as well as heavy rain and hail. They maintain these qualities over time! This means no maintenance, no renovation, and no additional costs. Strip tiles truly offer excellent value for money. Once pointed, the bonded façade becomes indistinguishable from a traditional brick wall.
