Crystal Clear Glazed Brick Slips
Crystal clear glazed brick slips use a translucent coating to give the building’s façade a natural look inspired by the world around us.
These brick slips are twice-fired for toughness. This process helps combine the finely crushed glass to the brick slip exterior so it becomes hard and impervious. This enables the clay to vitrify and the glazing to fix to the brick. These brick slips are available in 36 different shades to suit modern architects requiring a range of transparent colours.
Key Features

Product Description
Creative Brick Solutions offers a revolutionary product in the form of crystal clear glazed brick slips. This contemporary design element will give any building’s façade a natural look that exudes a sense of nature within the urban environment. By introducing these bricks to your project’s façade, you’ll bring an optical sensation that you can be proud of.
The brick slips undergo a twice-fired process in which they are returned to the kiln for a high-temperature second firing. The purpose of this is twofold. Firstly, it helps combine the finely crushed glass to the brick slip exterior so it becomes hard and impervious. Secondly, once vitrified, the glazing fixes itself to the brick creating a strong bond that gives your building an unmatched beauty.
With Creative Brick Solutions, you have 36 different shades at your disposal – versatile options for modern architects looking for transparent colours for their next project. These brick slips not only offer aesthetic appeal but also contribute to ensuring that your projects meet safety standards with their sturdy construction and innovative design features.
Let Creative Brick Solutions help you give new life to your renovation or enhance new build projects with unparalleled style and flair.
