Brick face tiles, also known as brick slips or brick veneer, are thin slices of brick often used to create authentic brick walls without building a full structural brick wall. For Irish developers, architects, contractors and trade buyers, sourcing brick slips from Poland can be worth comparing when project volume, sample approval, specification and logistics are planned correctly.
