What are brick slips?Brick character, a lighter build-up.
A brick slip façade gives your home a clean, modern look while keeping the authentic charm of traditional masonry.
The thin slips are ideal for new and older homes, combine effortlessly with insulation and need little maintenance. Thanks to their slim build-up they save space and improve thermal performance.

Brick slips · Systems
Systems, colours, suppliersChoose the build-up, then the brick.
Brick slips give the look of masonry but allow a slim façade build-up.
Three substrates. One well-thought-out façade detail.
Brick slips can be installed on insulation, on fibre cement boards with a ventilated cavity or on a suitable masonry substrate. The load-bearing substrate, adhesive and build-up are always assessed in advance.
ETICS
Insulation, reinforcement, adhesive mortar and brick slip
Fibre cement
With ventilated air cavity
Masonry
Brick, concrete or existing wall
Check
Flatness, load-bearing capacity and details
Preferably choose a complete system from one manufacturer, with technical certification and the right fixings.
From plinth to full volume.
Brick slips are light, flexible and usable for façade surfaces, ceilings, overhangs and carefully integrated details around windows. They go well with render, wood and aluminium.

Colour is a material choice.
The Terca range offers a wide selection of brick slips, from light to red, brown and dark shades, in a slip thickness of 22 to 25 mm; a sample on site remains the right basis for the final choice.

Bonding of the insulation board to the substrate
03Insulation
EPS or XPS board, with guide grooves in some systems
04Reinforcement
Reinforcing mesh in a mortar layer
05Brick slip and joint
Slip of 22–25 mm, joint colour matched to the façade
Preparation and detailsA brick slip façade starts with the substrate.
What we check and carry out before the slips go on the façade:
✓
Assessing the load-bearing substrate, adhesive and build-up in advance.
✓
Preferably a complete system from one manufacturer, with technical certification.
✓
Corners, reveals and plinth with corner slips and the right fixings.
✓
Choosing the joint colour next to the brick — it determines the look of the whole façade.
Choosing colour
A sample on your façade says more than a photo.
Light, joint colour and surroundings change how brick is perceived. We bring physical samples to the site visit and choose together with you, next to your existing façade.
ProjectsFaçades with brick slips.
From 540 m² of brick slips and white render in Hasselt to a 2350 m² apartment building in Tielt-Winge.
Combining brick slipsBrick next to render, wood and aluminium.
In Hasselt we combined 540 m² of brick slips with white render on 12 cm of insulation; in Neerpelt brick slips at the base and around the entrance with render and wood.
Since 2026, wall insulation in Flanders only qualifies for Mijn VerbouwPremie in income categories 3 and 4. We check your situation, help with the application and, if you wish, arrange a renovation loan through KBC.
