As demand grows for stylish, space-efficient fireplace designs, many installers and retailers are turning to brick slips as a practical and versatile finish. Eurobrick Systems, the UK’s leading brick slip and stone slip cladding specialist, has seen increasing interest from people looking to upgrade their fireplace designs using their wide range of brick slips to create the perfect finish for fireplace surrounds, chimney breasts, inglenooks and feature walls.
A real brick finish with benefits
Brick slips provide the authentic appearance of traditional brickwork but with significant advantages for interior applications. Lightweight and easy to handle, they take up much less space than full bricks, making them ideal for smaller spaces and compact living areas where every millimetre counts. Because they can be tiled directly onto suitable substrates, they are also well suited to both renovation work and new installations.
A wide choice of finishes
Eurobrick’s wide selection of brick slips includes colours, textures and finishes to complement both contemporary and classic fireplace designs. For retailers, this variety helps customers visualise how a surround might look in their own homes, while for installers, it supports efficient project planning and material specification.
Accessories for installation
To complete the installation, Eurobrick also supplies all the necessary materials and accessories, including cement adhesives, eight colours of pointing mortar and brick spacers. These products are designed to work together to help achieve consistent, high-quality results without requiring specialist bricklaying skills. Fast turnaround of orders and reliable nationwide delivery ensures that materials arrive when needed, supporting busy project schedules.
Technical support
Eurobrick also provide technical guidance through installation instructions for the proprietary cladding systems (if required) along with video resources, practical recommendations on substrates, installation methods and finishing techniques. Eurobrick’s cladding systems can be useful for larger interior projects such as feature walls where additional support or insulation may be helpful and their technical team are available to advise installers and retailers on the most suitable approach for specific projects.
Customer guidance
To help customers with their choice of final aesthetic, Eurobrick’s website also includes useful design articles on topics such as how the choice of mortar colour can affect the overall look, different types of mortar finish and also different patterns that can be achieved with brick slips to create a distinctive finish. This guidance can be a valuable tool in helping homeowners make design decisions.
