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.
Advantages of Licata Brick Slip Cladding
Brick slip cladding is low maintenance
Genuine brick exterior walls require a surprising amount of maintenance to ensure their continued integrity. Not so with Licata brick slips. Whether mineral or clay, our brick slip cladding requires little more than an occasional wash to keep it looking sharp. If you are not a fan of expensive and time-consuming home maintenance, consider adding brick slip cladding to your home or business.
Brick slip cladding systems strengthen exterior walls
A brick slip is simple to install and bolsters the strength and integrity of exterior walls in numerous ways. For one thing, they help the wall resist humidity. This is important when it comes to the long term viability of the wall. Attaching a brick slip system to an exterior wall can also extend its life while providing a boost in your home’s value. Concrete outer walls are prone to cracking. A brick slip system can help prevent this from happening. And finally, an acrylic brick slip system will resist mould and fungi
Brick slips are aesthetically pleasing
Brick slip cladding from Licata provides the aesthetic value of real brick without the expense and headaches that come with installing and maintaining traditional masonry. Installing our mineral or clay brick slip system will immediately elevate the kerb appeal of your home or business, giving it a classic look that will stand the test of time. Brick slip cladding is one of the simplest ways to transform a drab exterior into one of substance and style.
Brick slip cladding improves your home insulation profile
Most homes from the 20th century and earlier were constructed with precious little insulation in their exterior walls. If there is any now, it is usually because the homeowner added some after the fact. Brick slip cladding is a great way to add even more insulation to your older home, increasing its energy efficiency and saving you money both today and in the years to come.
Brick slip wall cladding provides benefits of real brick
Whether residential or commercial brick structures exude a sense of timelessness and permanence. Brick slip cladding can exude those same characteristics, which enhances the way your home or business is perceived. Traditional brick also has outstanding thermal mass properties. This means it is able to store heat and release it in a controlled way. During the summer this helps keep your home cool, and during the winter it helps it stay warm. Clay brick slip wall cladding also exhibits good thermal mass properties.
Brick slip cladding is extremely versatile
Whether you are looking for the perfect material to frame the fireplace in your family room, want to bolster the insulation capability of your home or business, or are providing an older structure with a modern – or postmodern – exterior, brick slip cladding from Licata is the perfect choice. Your home, office, hotel or outdoor kitchen will take on a timeless look, and you will benefit from enhanced value, lower energy bills and the envy of your contemporaries.
Brick slip cladding will not attract or host algae, fungi or other microbes
Malicious microbes are a silent threat to your health, the health of your loved ones and the health of your guests. In fact, researchers have concluded that most allergies as well as numerous respiratory conditions such as asthma and bronchitis originate in the home or are exacerbated by mould, fungi and other uninvited organisms that cling to various building materials. Brick slip cladding from Licata is the notable exception to that rule and will help ensure your home or office is a healthy place to live or work.
Brick slip cladding is a long-term solution
Some people harbour the misconception that brick slip cladding is a temporary fix that is installed until the property owner can decide on something permanent. Nonsense. Brick slip cladding is a viable long term solution that, with minimal maintenance, will last decades and retain its beauty, integrity and insulation capabilities.
Brick slip cladding is cost-effective
Compared to installing complete brick walls brick slip cladding is much less expensive and yet provides many of the exact same benefits. While there may be purists out there for whom nothing less than “real” brick will do, for value-orientated home and business owners, brick slips are the cost-effective alternative that will produce all the benefits of brick at fraction of the price.
Licata Have a Brick Slip Cladding for You
Licata brick slips will enhance the appearance of your home, office, hotel or other structure while increasing its value and reducing its carbon footprint. When you need a cladding that will look great, install quickly, and provide a handsome ROI, consider brick slips by Licata.
