Description

Sand Acrylic Brick Slip

Licata Acrylic Brick slips have been used to finish interior and exterior walls. Many millions of square meters of façade have been finished using brick slips. Brick slips are ideal for façade cladding, in both technical and aesthetic sense. When brick slips are used in new builds or renovation projects, they are given a masonry look that cannot be distinguished from traditional brickwork. This means that the authentic value of buildings and neighborhoods is retained.

Installation

Please check the brick slips before installing (Correct color? Correct article? Color and size of corners and flats matching together?). The substrate should be clean, dust free, workable, solid and even. Any wallpaper or other residues should be removed before installing the brick slips. We recommend priming the substrate. Spread a suitable flexible adhesive with a toothed spreader by “buttering” both on the back of the slip and on the wall (“buttering-floating”). A string line will be helpful.

Press the brick slips into the adhesive bed with slightly sliding sideways movements, so that they are surrounded by the adhesive completely. Always mix the slips from several packages and several pallets.

If desired, grout traditionally with jointing iron and tiling grout after 24 hours. Always process horizontal and vertical joints together promptly.

Benefits of Sand Acrylic Brick Slips

• Cost-Effective Installation – Sand acrylic brick slips offer exceptional value at the best price point in the market. The lightweight nature reduces structural load requirements, eliminating the need for additional foundations whilst maintaining the traditional look of real brick or clay brick.
• Superior Durability – Developed with advanced acrylic technology, these external brick slips provide excellent durability against weathering, moisture, and UV exposure. The flexible acrylic composition prevents cracking and maintains surface integrity across varying temperatures, ensuring your project stands the test of time.
• Easy Application – Install brick slips quickly using standard adhesive and tools, significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional brick work. The consistent thickness and dust-free handling create a more efficient workflow, whilst vertical joints remain perfectly aligned throughout the installation process.
• Versatile Design Options – Available in an extensive range of colours and natural textures, our sand acrylic brick collection allows you to create authentic masonry aesthetics for any architectural style. From contemporary builds to heritage restoration, these slips deliver the character of clay brick slips without the weight or expense.
