Whether for new construction or energy-efficient renovation of existing buildings – whenever an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is used, brick slips on ETICS are the architecturally and technically sound solution. They combine the expressiveness of a classic brick facade with the requirements of modern facade insulation with brick – durable, aesthetically pleasing, and resilient.
Why use brick slips on ETICS?
Brick slips are thin brick discs that give the impression of solid masonry. Unlike industrially pressed versions, Hagemeister brick slips are made from full-format bricks, which are pre-fired using a stack-firing process. This method ensures an authentic feel, three-dimensional depth, and natural color variations. In combination with an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), they enable efficient thermal insulation without sacrificing the classic brick look. This is particularly advantageous for the renovation of older buildings or in regions with traditional brickwork.
Brick slips for ETICS in various formats and thicknesses
Brick slips on ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) are more than just a functional covering. They preserve the design language of classic brick construction – in a slimmer version, but with the same properties as a solid brick. Hagemeister offers them in all standard formats – NF, DF, 2DF – as well as in custom long and modular formats.
Sustainable brick slips for facade insulation with clinker bricks
Made from all-natural clay, fired at around 1,200°C, these brick slips are characterized by their durability and expressiveness. The interplay of colors arises not from dyes, but from fire, atmosphere, and hand-selected clay mixtures. A clinker-style thermal insulation that doesn't age, but gains depth over time.
Brick slips on ETICS: Resource-saving production
Our brick slips are cut from a single block of stone – for consistently natural surfaces and the unmistakable look of genuine clinker brick. The resulting sawdust and offcuts are recycled: circular, high-quality, zero waste. This creates a thermal insulation system with clinker brick slips that also sets standards in manufacturing.
Design flexibility with brick slips on thermal insulation systems
Brick slips on external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) open up new possibilities in facade design. Since they have no load-bearing function, they offer creative freedom: ornamentation, articulation, textures – the interplay of light and depth becomes the architect's signature. A cladding with character. Expressive, unique, durable. Each brick is one of a kind – like the building itself.
ETICS cladding with brick slips – robust and maintenance-free
Where monolithic masonry is not feasible, brick slips on ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) offer a durable and maintenance-free alternative. The surface remains stable, colorfast, and resistant for decades – without painting or maintenance. Thus, brick slip facade insulation becomes both a lasting protective and design element.
Installation instructions for brick slips on ETICS according to standard
The key difference with brick slips is their slim format and significantly lighter weight. This makes them easier to handle and reduces physical strain for installers – especially on hard-to-reach facades or when working at heights. They are applied to a level surface using the buttering-floating method. For exterior applications, a joint width of 4–6 mm according to DIN 18515-1 must be maintained to ensure a secure and durable installation of any thermal insulation using brick slips.
Brick slips for interiors and EIFS – versatile applications
Not only on the exterior, but also indoors, brick slips on ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) create striking accents. They are ideal for high-traffic hallways, as robust wall finishes, or for targeted room division. For interior applications, DIN 18352 recommends a joint width of 1–3 mm. Technically clearly regulated, yet offering design flexibility.
Low-maintenance ETICS cladding with brick slips
What remains is substance. Brick slips on EIFS require no maintenance – they age gracefully, without showing visible signs of wear. No painting, no replastering – just permanently beautiful surfaces, resistant to weather and time. An investment in peace of mind.
Clinker brick thermal insulation as a durable and value-enhancing solution
High-fired, dense, and durable: The brick slip cladding protects the building from driving rain, frost, heat, and hail. A brick slip thermal insulation system that creates and maintains value. The investment in installation pays off – aesthetically, technically, and economically.
This applies to both recycling and resale. Brick slip thermal insulation not only offers lasting protection but also increases the long-term value of your property. If you're looking for a solution that convincingly combines functionality and design, Hagemeister is the right partner for you.
