The brick surface looks to much like an engineering one, much prefer the old stock type..

they are only 4mm thick on backerboard Neal only for show bored mate lol

[blocko]

How thin are they? I would have thought they would be quite weak. Obviously not. Would suit alot of modern loft style apartments. Not my cup of tea though

[blocko]

Just posted....then saw you had answered my question in that time. 4mm is real thin

Is that a gutter across the top of the pic for 'rustic-ness'

I think they would be ok in the right environment.

No just cut them that thin for the backerbord would be about 10-12mm thick or if on the floor 18mm

Missed some of the other posts that they were being cut into thin slices....

feature wall in a loft conversion etc may look good apart not sure apart from that

Quite like them myself.

what you using to cut them? (machine/blade)

[kendo1]

There seem to be loads of them already available. Here's the first link from Goo,
prices are about £25 per 1/2 sqm:

yes but they are £72 plus del a mtr and they are between 20mm-45mm thick in the same box the corner are badly cut to i was thinking a third of that price

might be good for a clad house seen that done before on extension upstairs they used something similar to cut down on weight

[Mike]

very interesting thread, they'll look nice in the right place. i guess you'll only get 2 out of each brick due to the cutting marks on one side? and how are your fingers after cutting them to 5mm i'd expect the bricks to crumble at 5mm

No Mike they are double cuts that is the point made from the middle of the brick but for feature walls kitchens all from waste no problem with the fingers i use a diamond blade its easier

A Lot of similar stuff was used around here in the late 90's and especially in kitchens. Not my cup of tea, but quite dramatic for a feature wall.

Hopefully my post can help you price them realistically so you can make a decent profit.
Standard prices seem to be £60 -£90, depending on the brick style.
Taking into account your time and wear on the cutting disc, time for picking up the bricks, transport etc. I'd say price them a bit higher.

Good luck

Yes Jamie that was the idea for feature walls kitchen walls

[pjc]

Thanks Ken for your input

[Minton]

Hi PJC, I have been looking for something like that for a feature wall in my kitchen. Any idea what the Sq/M weight would be for these.?

[NZ_Tiler]

Here in Austria they have started to sell this in stores. The prices are €.
