  • Veneer tends to be wood. Do you mean brick slips - ie thin cuts of brick similar to tiles?

    Down here we call them "Mathmatical tiling" ,here quite a few timber framed buildings dating from the 17th Century which were originally wattle and daub panels were later changed due to fashion to look like brickwork.The idea is you nail them onto timber battens like tiles and the next "Brick " up covers the nails and you pug the joint...Very clever really....

    You can tell theyre not real bricks when you tap them with your knuckles.Just a bit of useless info.......

    Why brick slips???? If you have a big area (external or internal) Decopierre UK have either lime based or polymer based system that offers any colour shape or style for brick effect.
