Brick slips can be installed quickly and easily. The basic principles of installation are identical to standard tiles. The brick slips are glued to the substrate using a rapid setting adhesive. Tile spacers are used to space the brick slips. After the adhesive has fully set, the brick slips can be pointed. Pointing can be done using a gun injected pointing mortar. Traditional sand or cement mortar can be used if you prefer a more traditional look.
