Brick slips are thin, elongated panels that are only 0.5 to 2.5 cm thick and are not bricked up, but instead glued to the load-bearing structure, a substructure or an ETICS system.
As an alternative to conventional facing bricks, the so-called brick slips or clinker brick slips are also used for single-shell exterior walls. Brick slips are usually made of frost-resistant brick or clinker material. Most manufacturers simply cut brick slips out of the facing bricks so that they can be made from products that have already been produced.
When installing clinker slips on thermal insulation systems, specially shaped grid insulation boards are used. These insulating boards with prefabricated brick slips simplify the installation of the clinker slips and achieve a high level of dimensional accuracy. This aid is called a joint guidance system.
In the case of thermal insulation systems with a joint guidance system, the insulation boards are produced at the factory with a grid to the layer height of the different brick slips (e.g. NF, RF, WDF, DF, WF). As a result, the bearing joint is specified and the slips can be laid quickly and easily. The brick slips are bonded directly to the EPS insulation board on this special insulation board without any reinforcement layer.

In conventional thermal insulation systems, the brick slips are also applied to insulation boards, but must be equipped with a reinforcement fabric. Only then are the brick slips glued and inserted. A taut cord helps to align the clinker slips horizontally.

is important that the gluing is carried out on a load-bearing and level surface. Depending on the surface condition of the substrate, it may therefore be necessary to coat it with a levelling plaster.
