How do I fit Brick Slips?

At a very high level, the individual slips are fitted to the wall using adhesive, allowing for 10mm spaces between them. A piping gun or piping bag is then used to mortar the gaps between the slips (this is called pointing), before using a jointing tool is used to compress the mortar and remove any voids/air pockets. Then as the mortar has dried apply a wire brush to remove any excess.

The key to fitting brick slips (like most DIY jobs) is preparation. Laying out the slips prior to fitting is recommended, especially for multi-coloured blends and it's vital to ensure you have the right tools and materials ready and available before you start.
