Eco-Glazed Brick Slip Brochure

Glazed brick slips are a superb choice for creating distinctive feature walls and are regularly used for both internal and external applications. They can be used as a hard wearing and attractive alternative to the frequently used salt glazed bricks which can still be seen on many period properties.

While not everyone may have heard of ‘brick slips’, chances are they have seen them hundreds of times in homes, shops and restaurants without even realising what they were looking at! In order to create striking interior or exterior architectural finishes, very thin facings of brick or glazed tile are frequently used.

These brick slip tiles are applied to a wall in order to produce a high quality brick or tiled wall finish.  As these thin surface facings are lighter and cheaper to produce than using solid blocks, they have become an extremely popular building and design resource for architects and specifiers alike.

Eco-Glazed Brick Slips are particularly useful, and are very useful from a design perspective. Reasons for this include both the wide colour range available and smooth, lustrous surface finish, suitable for interior or exterior use. H&E Smith have worked with a number of architects and designers to create striking and evocative architectural features for a number of prestigious clients.

Below are featured some of the projects we have worked on that showcase these versatile products:

Project: Gourmet Burger Kitchen

A tiling project undertaken for the Gourmet Burger Kitchen by H & E Smith. Green glazed tiles were applied to the walls next to individual tables to create discrete seating areas. Used in conduction with period brass light fittings a design that effectively fused modern practicality with traditional design notes was created.See further images from this project.

Project: Manchester University Student Union

These tiles are suitable for exterior use, due to their resistance to heat and cold and tough glazed surface. Manchester University Student Union used signal yellow eco-glazed brick slip tiles to create a striking and inviting entrance area.See further images from this project.

Project: Joule’s Brewery, Market Drayton

A tiling project undertaken for the Joule’s Brewery. As a maker of traditional ales, Joule’s brand values focus on Old English style pubs. They state that “pubs which have served communities for centuries, which connect us to our fellow countrymen, and also to our past, a reminder of simpler times and the bonds we share.”

Heritage and traditional values are an essential element of their brand and they chose to use our eco glazed brick slip tiles in conjunction with bare brick to convey that mood within their interior design.See further images from this project.
