Thanks for your input

Yes, check out Dunkley Brick Slips

Once completely dry, you can use our brick sealant. However with our products there isn't a lot of dust/mortar to fall off- generally after a couple of days once dry it's settled.

Ideally you spread adhesive on both, but many installers only do the slips for efficiency, as long as the quantity is there it doesn't make too much difference.

Assuming you mean PVA bond, yes it is!

There are a few things- in ensures any loose plaster is removed, gives access to the plasterboard for grip, and across the whole wall it increases the m² that you're adhering to.

Yes, in an ideal world you would- many installers though just add the adhesive to the back of the slip and place it with a slight twist as it's quicker and more efficient, but you're right the perfect way is to get adhesive on both.

You just need a tile cutter, angle grinder or multi-tool to cut them!

We sell a primer to use after scoring the wall- th-cam.com/video/zNY_sT-vAr8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RTpT9nFZmCkLAgcR

This is our blend 6

Thanks for your feedback on our product. It's real brick, with the texture and impact, that comes with that. Rather than a 2D image, they're different things!

Thanks for your input - we cleaned up afterwards!

@@thebricktileco 😂😂 least your honest

Just about to text the same

Hi there, you need to use a masonry drill bit, drill through the slips and into the substrate, so use a 40mm screw and raw plug to ensure the weight is distributed throughout, not just on the slips, hope this helps!

It’s the premixed mortar that we sell, in grey, cream or white

Hi Clint, Our slips are all 22mm thick, it depends on the quality of the bricks you have as to how well they cut though.

Yes some mortars won't combine to be smooth enough, our mortars are formulated to go nicely through the guns or a bag once mixed.

@@thebricktileco can you recommend any other readily available mortar for it? Can't wait for delivery

@@otherstarboard I would look for something that contains a plasticiser - or failing that, if you can source a plasticiser it could mean your mix would become smooth enough to work - the other alternative is the old fashioned hawk and trowel method like in this video th-cam.com/video/mOEjO3qJCBE/w-d-xo.html

Hi Christopher, thanks for the feedback- essentially the method is the same, you'd want to put less mortar in, and you'd use an 8mm tool to really rake them out.

That’s cream mortar on the thumbnail image. If you head over to our channel we’ve got quite a few installation videos too 😊

@@thebricktileco thanks so much

Beautiful!! Can you recommend a good sealant? Thanks

Any PVA based primer is fine. Don’t plaster your walls if you haven’t already as it’s better to apply straight to plasterboard (hence the scoring)

I’m afraid it’s removing the artex first, it won’t be able to hold tiles unfortunately. Once removed you can get started as with the rest of our videos

If you're doing anything with the artex, get it tested for asbestos first!

If you are based in the UK we are always welcoming of installers that we can recommend

Thanks for getting involved- are you a professional brick slip installer? We have a list of recommended installers if you'd like to be on there? Let us know what you'd do differently if so.

Hi how long did that take ?

@@gersonpinto8905 It took 2 days, but we were filming and getting some photos along the way, with 2 people this could be done within a day.

@@thebricktileco please reccomend an installer stoke on trent st5

@@nojabs999 Hi, just so we don't post the details in a public area- can you email us support@thebricktilecompany.com and we'll send them straight back over to you

Yes- th-cam.com/video/9icApJNffWk/w-d-xo.html about 1 minute in

Here you go th-cam.com/video/jp2fw3_6KsY/w-d-xo.html 😊

@@thebricktileco thank you for your prompt response

But then I am a bricklayer . 👍👍👍👍👍

I think we disagree on both of those points 😊

@@thebricktileco Fair enough . But I know I will lay 1000 bricks much faster than you laying 1000 bricks . About 18 sq mts ?

@@johnbowkett80 I take it you’re a professional bricklayer? I’m not sure a DIYer would be able to lay bricks well, but they can install our slips. There’s also other considerations, internal floors aren’t built to take the weight of a full brick wall (and I wouldn’t be confident in it’s stability with no foundation?) you’ll lose more space in the room, then there’s the consideration of sockets etc. this is all considering a flat feature wall, never mind a kitchen or bathroom.

@@thebricktileco I have laid a few slips getting over concrete beams on large projects . I know they do work . I was just saying that laying bricks is quicker for any bricklayer . I've been laying for over 45 years and will still lay 1000 on a decent run in day . All the best . 👍👍👍👍👍

It’s our pre-mixed grey mortar, formulated for gun injection

These are genuine clay bricks, cut as tiles from bricks

We'd never want to tell someone with as much experience as you what the best way to do it is. It is a subjective issue and there's no one way to do it, however using a mortar gun is much easier for a DIYer, we do agree though that the frustration point is refilling it.

Good question, so there's 2 considerations- one is being on a ceiling, so you'll need to make sure the adhesive is suitable for it, highest strength that bonds to brick (and also a suitable solid substrate). The other thing is then the curvature, so depending on your laying pattern, you'll want to minimise the brick length on that curve- i.e have the shortest end on the bigger curve) hope that makes sense!

Yes, absolutely, it'll just need cleaning up and assuming it's masonry of some sort it'll need primer first before adhesive.

Indeed it can, this installation was onto plasterboard.

@@thebricktileco great job fellas 👏, I have a wall just like that, and we are looking to add brick slips....was the wall skimmed and painted and you just scored the wall 3 to 4mm deep all over and then pva? Before applying the slips...

@@andrewkitchen2723 Hi Andrew, that’s it- if the wall isn’t already skimmed though, that’s even better! Don’t spend money on skimming as you don’t need to! Have a look at the blends on our website to see what you like best!

You can add or subtract 1mm or even 2mm from the mortar spaces without it being noticeable so if you keep measuring up you can make it work nicely!

We are based in the UK so we don't really have that issue, you can use a brick sealant to make sure any moisture doesn't get into the brickwork though, the only issue there is that it will seal any moisture in, so it has to be bone dry when applying it.
