Is Brick Cladding Installed By A Tiler?

Who Installs Brick Cladding? Should I Use A Tiler?

Yes, we recommend installers on our website for our brick cladding, alternatively if looking to find your own installer we highly recommend using a tiler due to the similarity of our product to traditional tiles. Brick Cladding is essentially a thin cut of brick that can be applied to a wall like a normal tile. They are manufactured either by cutting the face off a brick or simply creating a mould tile from scratch. Tilers are skilled in laying or fitting tiles, and the process of laying our Brick Cladding is similar to laying tiles.

Tilers  use adhesive to fix Brick Cladding onto the wall and then use pointing mortar to fill the gaps between the brick cladding and the wall. Tilers should be able to install brick cladding into your home and give it a professional-looking finish.

Depending on personal preference, most of our customers opt to install our brick cladding themselves. With our helpful installation guide and online shop full of all the tools and materials need to install brick slips it could not be easier!

Having said that, should you opt to get a tiler to install your brick cladding we have a page dedicated to reputable installers that have to pass our quality test before we list them. Furthermore you can seek your own tiler to install brick cladding.

Installing brick cladding is a relatively easy task. As well as buying your brick cladding, you will also need brick slip adhesive, mortar, spacers, primer and sealer to complete your project. Should you instruct a tiler to install your brick cladding we advise purchasing these accessories directly from us as these are the only materials that have been tried and tested with our brick tiles allowing us to offer our customers a 25 Year Warranty on all of our Brick Cladding.

When looking for a tiler for your brick cladding project below are a list of some of the things we advise checking out before giving the go-ahead.

• Previous experience fitting brick cladding – Although not always necessary ask your tiler if they have fitted brick slips before. The more experience the better however, just because they haven’t had the opportunity to install them before doesn’t mean you should write them off as brick cladding is incredibly similar to standard tiles
• Workmanship Warranty – Reputable tilers should be able to give you a guarantee with their workmanship. Check that this is something they offer.
• Insurance – This is very important, and all tilers should hold at least public liability insurance. this will protect your home and you whilst they are working in it incase any issues arise.
• Reviews – Like us we work hard for our reviews and our 4/5 star reviews come from incredible customer service and high quality products. This should be the same from your tiler so check them out first.
