Brick tiles?

Wickes do them; they also do corner bricks.

I would like to source some tiles that have the appearence of brick. I need about 4.5 sq m. An indication of price would also be helpful, searched the web but without luck. Thanks in advance

IIRC, 60 minute makeover on ITV's website had a pointer to this site recently:

I bought some of those a long while ago for a fireplace project which never happened (at least not using them).

The problem was that when set out as they would appear, the size and texture was wrong - too small, too smooth and looking too much the same.

I slung them out in the end a few months ago.

One idea I might have tried, if I wanted to have something that looks like real bricks on the face but without the depth, would be to cut some real bricks on a diamond tile saw. It could be worth a try, but could be long winded.

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl

When my company used to supply Tyrone Bricks from Northern Ireland, they were able to supply brick slips, which were the same dimensions as a normal brick, but only about 15mm thick. They were always special order (about 6 -

8 weeks delivery) and cost about £1.00 each (that was about 10 years ago).

Any clay brick manufacturer should be able to produce specials for you.

many thanks for all the help. Popped ito Wicks in Lancaster and they have just what we need.

why are they always so expensive?
