Hello dear forum,
For aesthetic reasons, we are considering cladding the ground floor of our urban villa with brick slips. Should these be directly glued onto the masonry? The better option to me seems to be creating a ventilated facade. That means: aerated concrete, battens, and calcium silicate brick slips in NF format. Or does this not work?

Bauherr&-frau18 Feb 2019 20:25We will only do the street-facing side. I read something about "Hamburg tradition," where they make a "decorative side." I liked the idea because of the boundary development. Basically, I only want the bricks on that side. You are right that a 15 cm (6 inches) overhang (about 11 cm (4.3 inches) bricks, 4 cm (1.6 inches) air gap) might look odd. Are the glued brick slips just as "solid"?

Are the glued facing bricks just as "solid"? Solid, yes. It’s just a "slice" of brick. Just google facing bricks.
