Hi all, Can anyone recommend a brick slip system for a new timber frame extension? Cheers!

My architect is designing my brick slips elevations. Note: they are slips not full bricks and they will come from by Eurobrick if that is relevant. See the 62mm gap at the end, what to do about it? Do I … Re-design the timber frame? Absorb 62mm into the mortar joints between the slips? Cut the slips? Something else? I have zero experience of brick-laying or slips. What do you all think? Now is the time to make any design changes, if needed.

Now the company that sells these is http://www.brickslips.net/ I have contacted them for a list of their recommended installers in the SE ...tumble weed time! I guess they only want to sell and not get involved with recommending Does anyone have any experience of these, just to give you an example ...Brick slips or Brick Tiles as some call them: here is a video of them going on (although I am not sure this will be the applicable way on our Timber SIPS Potton build
