Brick Effect Wall Panels

Where it works

Brick effect is a feature-wall finish rather than a whole-room one. It suits a kitchen, a bar area, a home office or a living room chimney breast, and it gives the look of exposed brick without the dust of hacking off plaster, the weight on a stud wall, or the 100mm of floor space a real skin would take.

Colour

Red reads as traditional London or Victorian brick. Grey and anthracite are closer to a modern engineering brick and sit better in a contemporary room. Whitewashed and painted-brick designs are the lightest option where a full red wall would dominate.

Sizes

250mm and 1000mm widths at 2.4m and 2.6m. On a coursed pattern the wide board is usually the better choice — fewer joints means fewer places where the brick courses have to line up.
