Description

Caramel 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.

Key points worth noting include

• Mineral brick slip finish: A solid and authentic masonry effect achieved through a quality mixture developed for strength and consistency.
• Lightweight build: Lower weight and slim thickness compared with traditional brick slips, making it easier to install on a range of surface types.
• Versatile use: Suitable for façades, internal feature walls, non insulated systems and areas where a brick finished building style is required.
• Compatible with systems: Works in conjunction with external wall insulation, eps insulation and other façade systems that support thermal efficiency.

This finish supports a traditional look while offering a modern option for property upgrades that focus on performance, style and durability.

Uses And Design Applications

Caramel mineral brick slip can support many design goals, from attractive brick effect walls to feature areas across residential and commercial spaces. It is well suited for renovation projects where clients want a traditional look with a lighter build.

You can use it to

• Create brick effect finishes across internal and external façades while keeping weight low and installation simple.
• Complement sandstone paving, colour render or garden features where a warm brown tone is needed for a consistent finish.
• Replicate traditional brick slips in areas where full masonry cannot be laid due to size limits or surface conditions.
• Support insulated or non insulated systems where a façade needs both style and long-term durability.

This versatile slip works well in modern schemes that aim to reduce carbon footprint, and its ability to pair with other building materials gives designers more control over final appearance.

Buying Guidance For Caramel Mineral Brick Slip

Many clients compare caramel mineral brick slip with other mineral and acrylic options when planning a façade upgrade. The lightweight acrylic versions in the market offer variety, yet the mineral brick range provides a solid feel and a finish that stays consistent over time. Buyers often look at weight, thickness and style, and this slip gives a balance of authentic detailing and simple installation.

It is also common for clients to consider cost points linked to energy bills when working with systems that include external wall insulation. While the slip itself forms the finish, it can sit in conjunction with insulated build-ups that support better thermal efficiency. This helps property owners plan a design that improves both appearance and long-term performance.

When buying, most installers check cartons and pallets to ensure size, flats and colours match before they install the slips. Mixing packages helps maintain a consistent finish across the façade.

Clients also compare other cement based options like sample EnviroBrick or high polymer modified colour dashing receiver products, yet caramel mineral brick slip remains popular due to its authentic masonry effect, reliable durability and clean style.
