Brick Slips

Can Licata Brick Slips be Used Inside a House?

They can indeed. Our Brick Slips can be installed in virtually any room in the house. The only exception is the shower, where it might still be possible, but not without extensive preparation.

Also, should you wish to use our Brick Slips to create something like a kitchen backsplash we highly recommend that you apply a sealant to the Brick Slips after installation. This will make it much easier to clean and maintain them, and contribute to their longevity.

Can I Install Brick Slip Systems Around a Fireplace?

The short answer is an emphatic “yes”. In fact, most people who install Brick Slips inside their home do so around their fireplace. Brick Slips provide a timeless air of warmth and character to a fireplace. But their aesthetic impact goes well beyond the confines of the fireplace and extends to the entire room which takes on a much more upscale and inviting air.

But those are not the only benefits of installing Brick Slips around a fireplace. They will also retain heat from the fireplace. Being able to retain heat means that even after the fire is dying out the stored heat radiating from the Brick Slips will keep the area around the fireplace warm and cosy for an extended period of time. Something a painted wall cannot do.

When compared to creating a fireplace using traditional bricks, Brick Slips will greatly speed up the process while costing significantly less at the same time. And finally, Brick Slips can be installed by any reasonably skilled DIYer, which will reduce the installation costs even more when compared to hiring a bricklayer to install a traditional brick wall.

Will Licata Brick Slips Adhere to Any Surface?

Our Brick Slip systems will adhere to virtually any surface that is flat and which is capable of receiving adhesive. If the surface you envision attaching the brick slips to is uneven for whatever reason, you will need to level it out before attempting to attach the Brick Slips. If the unevenness is not extreme you may be able to level the surface out using only adhesive.
