Why Choose Our 25mm Brick Slips?

Why Choose Our 25mm Brick Slips?

When it comes to selecting the ideal wall finish or cladding solution, aesthetics are only part of the equation.

Architects, builders, and homeowners are now prioritising sustainability, performance, and safety – and that’s exactly where our 25mm Brick Slips for the Future stand out.

Below, we outline five compelling reasons why our brick slips (also known as brick facings) are fast becoming the top choice for forward-thinking construction projects across Australia.

1. Australia’s Only Carbon Neutral Certified Brick Slips

Our brick slips are proudly Carbon Neutral Certified, making them a game-changer in the construction materials space. Unlike traditional saw-cut clay options, which generate high emissions and excess waste, our product range is independently verified under the CarbonRATE™ certification scheme and audited by Global GreenTag.

This means when you choose our brick slips, you’re not just improving the look of your project – you’re actively reducing its carbon footprint.

2. Made From Recycled Materials for a Greener Future

Every one of our 25mm brick slips is manufactured using high-quality engineered sand combined with processed recycled glass aggregates. The result is a sustainable, low-emission material that delivers a premium product; without the environmental cost.

By repurposing waste glass, we minimise landfill contributions while creating a durable product that doesn’t compromise on quality or appearance.

3. No Unnecessary Creation of Silica Dust

Unlike many clay brick slip systems that require saw-cutting during production or installation, our slips are manufactured to size. This not only eliminates silica dust exposure risks, but also speeds up installation and ensures zero material waste.

It’s a cleaner, safer, and more efficient solution for both builders and occupants.

4. Superior Water Resistance with Minimal Maintenance

Moisture management is critical for long-term wall performance, especially in external applications. Our brick slips boast a Cold Water Absorption (CWA) rate of less than 3% – significantly outperforming most clay options which typically absorb between 7–15%.

This low absorption rate drastically reduces the risk of staining, water ingress, and ongoing maintenance, making them ideal for harsh Australian climates.

5. High Performance with Design Versatility

Function meets form with our brick slips. They’re available in three architectural finishes: Smooth, Exposed, and Refined along with matching corner slips to ensure seamless detailing on every surface.

Additional benefits include:

  • P5 slip rating for use as flooring

  • Non-combustible, with BAL-40 compliance

  • Outstanding dimensional accuracy, perfect for crisp modern designs

Whether you’re working on a feature wall, commercial façade, or internal fireplace, these slips provide the flexibility and confidence to design boldly.

If you’re searching for a durable, sustainable, and architecturally refined alternative to traditional clay brick slips, our Brick Slips range are the ideal solution. With industry-leading certifications, eco-friendly credentials, and a clean modern look, they offer a smarter way to build in today’s climate-conscious world.
