Hello everyone,
can someone roughly tell me how much a clinker brick slip facade might cost? Or if it is much more expensive than a paint finish?
In our region, you hardly ever find facades like this.

Well, there are plenty of examples of new buildings with brick slips. There must be a (financial) reason for that,Yes, brick slips are glued on, while full bricks are laid in mortar. For full bricks, it’s advisable to hire masons (at least experienced journeymen), whereas brick slips can be installed more “safely” by semi-skilled workers. That is indeed a “financial reason,” mostly related to labor costs; the lower material price is more of a bonus.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

We are building using a traditional double-wall construction, and another reason for using brick slips is that the walls won’t be excessively thick. Our exterior walls are a total of, if I recall correctly, 47 cm (18.5 inches) thick! With brick slips, the walls can be made significantly thinner.

We are building with a traditional double-layer wall system, and another reason for using facing bricks is that the walls don’t become excessively thick. Our exterior walls are, if I recall correctly, 47 cm (18.5 inches) thick in total! Using facing bricks allows for significantly thinner walls.So why are you building double-layer walls then? How much more expensive is your façade compared to other options?

With traditional double-layer construction, facing bricks are not an option because they cannot be laid but only glued. The difference lies in the material behind the brick layer: if it is a solid brick, a formwork brick, or foam insulation, facing bricks can be glued onto it. In that case, facing bricks are possible, and solid bricks are not necessary. However, if the insulation is made of fibrous material, it is not suitable for bonding, so facing bricks are ruled out because the brick layer must be built as a separate shell. This requires using bricks at full thickness (i.e., a brick’s width).

There is a house two streets away here with the following layers: sand-lime brick, insulation, air gap, sand-lime brick. On top, whatever finish you prefer—in this case, render with facing bricks as an accent.

Why are you building a cavity wall then? How much more expensive is your facade compared to others? I can’t say how much the facade costs compared to others. In this area, it’s common construction practice for even plastered houses to be built with a cavity wall. I just accepted that; it wasn’t a main factor when choosing the supplier.
