Real reclaimed brick. Sliced to fit the wall you’ve actually got.
We cut every slip from bricks we’ve already pulled out of demolition sites – so a facade gets the weight, colour and history of real brick, at a fraction of the thickness.
Authentic Recycled Brick Slips for Modern Facades
Bring the timeless character of genuine recycled bricks to your next project with The Brick Pit’s Brick Slips. Manufactured from authentic reclaimed face bricks, our brick slips provide the appearance of traditional brickwork while offering a lightweight and practical solution for modern construction.
Ideal for exterior facades, feature walls, commercial developments and architectural projects, our brick slips deliver the beauty of recycled brick without the structural limitations of full-sized masonry.
What we cut for facades
FACE BRICK SLIPS - CUT FROM RECLAIMED STOCK, TO STANDARD FACE MEASUREMENTS
The Brick Pit is expanding the possibilities of recycled brick
Using reclaimed bricks rather than new materials, The Brick Pit’s new brick slip offering opens new opportunities for Australian buildings to incorporate recycled bricks where traditional masonry isn’t possible.
Each day, The Brick Pit recovers thousands of bricks from demolition sites across Sydney and beyond, carefully cleaning and sorting every piece by colour and condition.
“Every recycled brick has a history and unique character,” shares The Brick Pit’s Ohad Fleiderman. “A secondhand brick, compared to one that imitates the look of a recycled brick, is much more authentic and beautiful.”
Brick is a building material that has been used for centuries. But with today’s structural constraints, weight requirements and often limited space, traditional full-sized bricks, whether new or recycled, are often overlooked, particularly in larger commercial developments and contemporary fit-outs.
“Australians love the look of a brick wall, but sometimes it’s too hard logistically.”The Brick Pit’s new recycled brick slip production capability is changing that.

Advantages of The Brick Pit’s recycled brick slips
- Solving practical challenges
Traditional brick walls are heavy, requiring substantial structural support. On the other hand, the system The Brick Pit uses for its brick slips achieves the same look in a much lighter and efficient way.
“One big advantage of the slips is the weight. It’s much lighter than a brick. The second advantage is the width. When you use slips, it’s only 25 millimetres, 20 or even 15. It’s really, really thin.”
The rail system is engineered to Australian standards and conditions, can be used consistently across a building’s facade, and allows for the appearance of brick cladding without the complications of full brickworks. Being lighter than traditional masonry, it can also integrate more easily with different structures. - Preserving character
The Brick Pit’s investment in new cutting technology allows it to produce recycled brick slips in far greater volumes than previously possible. This makes it possible for those designing multi-storey developments and commercial projects to incorporate recycled brick where this previously wasn’t an option. - Sustainability
Choosing to only work with reclaimed bricks, The Brick Pit is already doing its part to reduce the nearly 40 per cent of global carbon emissions that the built environment contributes.
By now offering recycled brick slips, each brick goes further – each reclaimed brick can produce multiple brick slips, allowing more surface area to be created from the same salvaged material. “We can have two slips out of one brick,” explains Ohad. The Brick Pit is also exploring ways to repurpose the remaining offcuts. “We want to make something useful with them, not to just throw them to road base or crushing or something like this. Maybe other professionals can use them.”
More than replacing new bricks with those that have already proven themselves for decades, sometimes even centuries, in Australia’s harshest conditions, The Brick Pit’s reclaimed brick slips opens a new opportunity for Australian buildings to be designed with circularity and the character of authentic bricks without the constraints of traditional brickwork.
