FAQ

What makes glazed brick slips different from standard brick slips?

Glazed brick slips share the same slim profile as standard slips but are finished with a coloured glaze that is fired onto the surface. This glaze gives them a distinctive appearance, with finishes available from high gloss through to soft sheen or metallic effects. The glazing enhances the visual appeal and makes glazed brick slips especially suited for projects where a strong design impact is required.

Are glazed brick slips resistant to staining?

Yes, one of the key advantages of glazed brick slips is their resistance to staining. The smooth glazed surface repels dirt, making them easy to maintain in outdoor settings. Many glazed brick slips are also acid-resistant, which means they withstand well in polluted urban environments or areas where regular cleaning may be required. This durability, combined with the broad range of colours available, makes them an excellent choice for facades, feature walls, and high-traffic external areas.

Where are glazed brick slips often used?

Glazed brick slips are frequently chosen for projects that require a bold or colourful finish. Architects often specify them for feature walls and entrance facades to deliver a strong visual impact. They are also well suited for high-use environments such as train stations or lower-level walls where durability is key and the ability to reflect light adds to the visual effect. Their combination of style and practicality makes them suitable for many different building types.

Can I get glazed brick slips in bespoke colours?

Yes, glazed brick slips can be produced in a wide range of colours, including bespoke shades matched to your colour references. If you come to us with a colour requirement, we will work with you to match it as closely as possible. This flexibility allows architects and designers to achieve precise visual effects, from subtle tonal variations to bold colour statements. Bespoke options make glazed slips a popular choice for statement architecture.

How durable are glazed brick slips for external use?

Glazed brick slips are extremely durable and built to last in exposed outdoor conditions. The glazing process fuses a protective layer to the clay, creating a hard surface that resists moisture, frost, and everyday weathering. The colour is fired into the glaze, meaning it will not fade or peel over time. They are also tough enough to withstand graffiti removal and regular cleaning, keeping facades vibrant and intact in high-footfall areas.
