Portland PEXLDF Anthracite Smooth Facade Brick Slip - 365mm x 14mm x 52mm

365mm x 14mm x 52mm Portland PEXLDF Natural Anthracite Brick Slips are designed to replicate the look of masonry that can be glued directly to substrate or fitted to a backing board. They are lightweight compared to bricks and have an unusual Anthracite colour of muted black, a smooth face and are highly resistant to external factors, including water, frost, wind and fire. These clinker bricks are denser, heavier than standard bricks and gives out a metallic sound they make when struck together. They are suitable for both contemporary and traditional projects. Installing brick slips is cheaper and is a great way to upgrade existing walls without adding too much thickness.
