Good evening,
we are planning a facade for our single-family house with plaster and highlighted areas in brick (look). Normally, with a brick facade, this is built as a second shell in front of the "normal" masonry. We are wondering how this should work with such a mixed facade. The bricks would then protrude far from the plaster. Is this solved with such brick slips? I somehow can't imagine that...
How it works with facing bricks has already been explained to you.
Brick slips are a thing of their own – if done well, a layperson cannot see the difference. The problem in the past with slips was their adhesion to the substrate; quite a few have fallen off and therefore these "replacement bricks" were only reluctantly used by contractors.
Nowadays it is said to be better; however, we still refuse these slips. At least when they are to be used over large areas.
Best regards from the Rhineland
