Flexibility and durability
The conversion of facing clinker bricks into the format of brick slips not only opens up new design possibilities, but also ensures easy processing and installation. Ideal for renovations or new builds, our clinker brick slips offer a durable and low-maintenance solution that fulfils the aesthetic and functional requirements of modern architecture.
A Guide to Selection
At Wittmunder Klinker, we offer a variety of brick slips, each with specific characteristics and applications. Below is an explanation of the different types and their recommended uses to help you choose the best brick slips for your construction project.
- Läuferriemchen
Stretcher brick slips are flat, rectangular slips primarily used for large surface applications on façades or walls to create the appearance of a full clinker brick façade. They are the standard type and provide a uniform and aesthetic coverage. Stretcher slips are especially suitable for large façade areas where a consistent and harmonious look is desired.
- Winkelriemchen
Corner brick slips are specially shaped clinker slips designed to cover corners and edges. They allow for a seamless transition that is both visually appealing and functional. Corner slips are ideal for building corners, window, and door openings, as they prevent moisture ingress at these critical points.
- Kopfriemchen
Header brick slips are shorter than stretcher slips and are often used to highlight specific architectural details or create particular bonding patterns in the façade. Additionally, they are excellent for decorative purposes or to add visual accents, especially in areas requiring smaller brick slips.
- Läufervollsteinwinkelriemchen
Stretcher full-brick corner slips combine the features of stretcher and corner slips. Designed for corners and edges, they provide full coverage and increased stability. These slips are ideal for building corners or edges.
- Scheibenriemchen
Thin brick slips are especially thin and flat slips used for special applications where a very slim and lightweight cladding is required. They are perfect for renovation projects that need to minimize the weight and thickness of the cladding without sacrificing the aesthetic benefits of clinker. Preferably, lintels, balconies, or roof overhangs are clad underneath with these slips.
- Kopfvollsteinwinkelriemchen
Header full-brick corner slips are similar to header slips but designed for use on corners and edges. These slips offer a sturdier solution for corners by combining the decorative function of header slips with the structural integrity of corner slips.
Aesthetic clinker façades with brick slips
Our brick slips are the ideal solution to enhance façades both visually and structurally. Wittmunder Klinker offers a wide selection of brick slips distinguished by excellent craftsmanship and appealing design. Available in a variety of colors, textures, and formats, our brick slips provide the perfect option for every construction project.
The surface texture and color palette of our brick slips open up an abundance of design possibilities. Whether smooth for a modern look or rustic for a traditional style – our brick slips give every façade a unique character. With shades ranging from classic red to elegant violet-blue hues, you’ll find exactly what perfectly suits the architectural style of your building.
The perfect alternative to full clinker bricks for every building type
Brick slips offer numerous advantages and are an excellent alternative to traditional clinker bricks. Whether for single-family homes, multi-family residences, commercial buildings, or architectural masterpieces, our brick slips are the ideal solution for any construction project.
- Lighter and easier to install
Brick slips are lighter than traditional facing bricks, making handling and installation easier. They can be applied to a variety of substrates, increasing flexibility in their use.
- Space-saving solution
Thanks to their slim profile, brick slips are a space-saving alternative to classic bricks. They are especially suitable for projects requiring a slim build or where space is limited. Despite their thin structure, they provide the same aesthetic appeal and durability as conventional clinker bricks.
- Versatility in design and application
Our brick slips come in a wide range of colors, textures, and formats, allowing seamless integration into any architectural concept. Whether for modern office buildings, luxury villas, traditional country houses, or innovative design projects—brick slips offer endless design possibilities and give every building a unique character.
- Cost-efficiency and sustainability
Brick slips are not only a more cost-effective option in terms of materials and transportation but also a sustainable alternative to traditional double-shell masonry. The reduced material use and lighter weight minimize resource consumption. Additionally, brick slips are durable and low-maintenance, leading to further long-term cost savings.
- Easy renovation and retrofitting
For renovation projects and upgrades, brick slips are the perfect choice. They can be applied directly over existing façades without the need for extensive demolition work. This saves time and money and allows for a quick and effective improvement of a building’s appearance.
An environmentally friendly choice with an excellent carbon footprint
Brick slips are among the more eco-friendly building materials. Compared to a traditional clinker brick façade, their production consumes fewer resources and releases approximately half the CO₂.
They are made from naturally sourced East Frisian meadow clay, which is abundant in the region. The production process is designed to minimize resource consumption and respect the natural cycle.
Like clinker bricks, brick slips are exceptionally durable. They are resistant to weather conditions – especially frost – which significantly extends their lifespan. This durability reduces the need for frequent repairs or maintenance, such as with rendered façades, thereby improving the environmental and carbon footprint of brick slips.
Compared to conventional facing bricks, brick slips require less material to cover the same surface area. Their thinner profile and lighter weight result in lower raw material consumption, reducing the environmental impact of production. Additionally, the reduced material volume makes transportation more efficient, further lowering CO₂ emissions.
Perfect synergies for modern construction methods
Brick slips are the ideal complement for modern modular systems such as timber frame construction and other prefabricated building methods. Their flexibility, ease of handling, and aesthetic advantages offer a wide range of possibilities to create visually appealing and functional modular structures.
Clinker brick slips can be seamlessly integrated into various modular systems, such as timber frame construction or other prefabricated methods. They can be applied directly onto the modular elements, resulting in a uniform and high-quality appearance. Thanks to their slim profile and lightweight nature, they place minimal load on the supporting structures, making them an excellent choice for use in modular construction.
Clinker brick slips give modular buildings a premium and durable façade. They provide the same aesthetic appeal as traditional facing bricks but are easier to work with due to their slender form. The wide variety of colors and textures allows for any desired look—from classic to modern. Additionally, clinker brick slips offer a robust and weather-resistant exterior that protects the building from environmental influences.
Their use in modular systems contributes to the building’s energy efficiency, leading to lower heating and cooling costs and supporting sustainable construction practices.
Wittmunder Klinker offers the perfect synergies with modern modular systems.
