Ketley extruded red blue brick slips eliminate the need and cost to cut down bricks for use with pre-fabricated panels and other cladding solutions.  The warm clay colours of Staffordshire red blue brick slips makes them a good choice for residential projects, either for overcladding an existing building to create an authentic brick facade or with panels for  oakframe buildings and other building systems

Extruded pistol bricks for corners and returns are also manufactured to complement the range of brick slips, and they are fired alongside the slips to ensure consistancy of colour.

 The colours are achieved naturally through the careful control of the kiln atmosphere without the use of surface pigments or artificial stains.  This generates a warmth and authenticity to the brick colours.

Application Guide

Ketley Brick slips can be mounted in various ways and are suitable for use in external or internal applications.  Slips can be incorporated into backing panels either with or without insulation. They can also be used for pre-fabricated arches, bay windows and chimneys.

Fixing using adhesiveribbed small

Advice should be sought on the adhesive to be used for fixing brick slips from adhesive and backing panel manufacturers.  Sand and cement mortars are not recommended.  Please refer to adhesive manufacturer technical services to determine the correct adhesive for the application.  Support will be required for the brick slips until the adhesive has set.

The thickness of the adhesive will depend on the application and backing substrate, generally the thickness of the adhesive will need to be between 6-12mm.  Some systems will require the adhesive to be buttered on the back of the slips, other systems work with the adhesive applied with a gun.  Specific advice must be sought from the backing panel manufacturer.

Pointing should take place once the adhesive has set.  It is also important that both vertical and horizontal movement joints are considered and compressive joints incorporated into the design.

Pre-cast Concrete Panelsdove tail small

For pre-cast concrete panels Ketley brick slips are available with a 4.5mm deep dovetail key in the back to provide additional security to the adhesion of the slip to the concrete panel.  The dovetail key will allow the concrete to set within the body of the brick slip providing an additional lock that will bind the slip to the panel.  Contact us for further details.
