Oslo Pearl White Smooth Facade Brick Slip - 240mm x 14mm x 71mm

240mm x 14mm x 71mm Oslo Pearl White Smooth Facade Brick Slips are designed to replicate the look of masonry that can be glued directly to substrate or fitted to a backing board. They are made of clay rich in Kaolinite originating from the Westerwald region, which gives its pearl white colour, a 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.
