EcoLine Brick Slips

by Wienerberger B.V. · Netherlands · CER294 · Published 11 Apr 2025
About this material

EcoLine brick slips are thin-format façade elements developed by Wienerberger that combine the traditional aesthetics of hand-moulded bricks with a modern, resource-efficient production process. With a thickness of only 18 mm, they are among the thinnest in their category, enabling significant material savings and reduced environmental impact.

Designed for both new-build and renovation projects, EcoLine brick slips offer a reliable and sustainable alternative to conventional facing bricks. Their precise dimensional stability makes them especially suitable for prefabricated construction systems where consistency and accuracy are essential.

Manufactured in a fully electric kiln, EcoLine slips are produced without fossil fuels. This energy-efficient process contributes to a reduction in environmental impact of up to 85% compared to traditional brick manufacturing. Due to their reduced thickness, more than three times the square metres of brick slips can be transported per truckload compared to standard bricks. This leads to 70% fewer transport movements, reduced packaging materials, and lower associated CO₂ emissions.

Produced with high precision, the slips maintain consistent shape and size, allowing for smooth integration in industrial and prefab workflows. The slips are delivered ready-to-use without the need for additional drying time on site. Despite being lightweight, EcoLine brick slips are durable and resistant to damage during production, transport, and storage, helping minimise waste.

They are suitable for application on various substrates, including insulation panels and prefabricated concrete elements, using either bonding or casting techniques.
