We are currently installing brick slips on one of our projects. These are effectively real bricks that are 15mm thick.

There advantages are: -

Cost-effectiveness:

Brick slips can be more cost-effective than standard bricks.

Design and aesthetic flexibility:

Brick slip cladding systems offer design and aesthetic flexibility.

Thermal efficiency:

Using brick slips for external insulation increases thermal efficiency and protects your wall.

Space-saving:

Brick slips are thin and ideal for giving an existing façade a fresh new look.

When compared with full facing bricks, you can quickly reduce the wall thickness by 8 cm with brick slips.

This gives you more room for insulation.

These brick slips are sourced from Fernhill Stone who are based in Monaghan

We have commenced enabling works in a new project in Lurgan, County Armagh.

The Client had asked that the existing kitchen and dining room areas be opened up to make this into a larger single space.

This necessitated appointing a Structural Engineer to calculate the loading and design a beam to carry this.

The Client wanted a flush ceiling so the works required the prestressed concrete units to be supported within the web of the beam.

The beam is now fire painted and ready to be closed in again.
