Creating a red brick feature wall

    I wish to create a red brick feature wall in my open plan downstairs.

    I'm trying to achieve a aged/wash brick look as seen in the attached images.

    I think it looks like Belfast bricks..

    I'm wondering is it possible buy faux brick panel to achieve this or would you have to buy actual old bricks and build it up?

    Any tips would greatly appreciated

    Cheers

    You might be able to pick up a brick panel from Buckley's, Ballymount or TJ O'Mahoney's.

    Cheers.

    Has any one used these before as splash backs for kitchens or feature walks?

    Try grahamandbrown.co.uk or .com (can't remember which) they do a great range of brick wallpaper that's often used in films etc.

    This company do think stone cladding for internal applications. It may not suit your needs but thought i'd mention it anyway.

    By the way grease and dirt may cling to textured surfaces like brick or stone so may not be suitable as a splashback.

    Well you can definitely go for faux brick panels. They give the same look and are low on budget. I had tried this idea few years ago. Cheers!

    Go to Out-Haus in Santry.They have real brick slips that are made to look rustic and are only 18mm thick.You simply fit a 1 x 1 meter plastic grid slot to the wall and stick the brick slips on with some glue.Then some white or grey grout is applied and you have the exact feature in your picture.
