Brick Tiles: Natural Brick Look at a Lower Cost
Brick tiles (brick cladding/brick slips) give you the charm of natural brick or stone—without the structural load, mess, or price tag. At The Tiles House, our brick tiles are embossed to recreate authentic texture and depth, available in popular sizes 12×18 in, 12×24 in, and 24×48 in. Choose from a wide color palette—red, grey, black, beige, brown—to match modern, rustic, or industrial interiors across Indian homes and commercial spaces.
Why Choose Brick Tiles Over Natural Stone/Brick?
-
Much lower cost than natural brick/stone cladding—budget-friendly for renovations and new builds.
-
Lighter & thinner profile places less load on walls; ideal for apartments and retrofits.
-
Embossed realism: 3D surface captures authentic brick/stone character.
-
Faster installation with less site mess; minimal structural changes.
-
Consistent sizing & shades vs. natural materials that vary lot-to-lot.
-
Low maintenance—wipe clean finishes, easy dusting, optional sealing in high-stain areas.
Available Sizes
-
12×18 inches: Great for accent bands, smaller feature walls, breakfast counters, reception desks.
-
12×24 inches: The most versatile pick for living rooms, café walls, corridor panels.
-
24×48 inches: Large-format look for faster coverage, fewer joints, and a premium, contemporary style.

Red: Classic loft/industrial look—pairs well with warm lighting and wood furniture.

Where to Use Brick Tiles
-
Living room feature walls (TV unit backdrops, double-height spaces)
-
Dining & café walls, counters, reception desks
- Headboards & bed backdrops
- Corridors, lobbies, stairwells
-
Outdoor facades (use exterior-grade adhesive and suitable sealer)
-
Kitchen backsplashes (dry zones)—use stain-resistant grout/sealer
Installation Tips (India-ready)
- Use the correct tile adhesive for vertical cladding; check substrate is plumb and firm.
- Plan joint width (tight for modern, wider for rustic) and pick the right grout color to control the overall vibe.
- For exteriors, specify weather-resistant grout and a breathable, UV-stable sealer.
- Indoors near cooking areas, consider a light matte sealer for easier wipe-downs.
- Dry-lay a small mock-up to balance shades/pattern before full installation.
Care & Maintenance
- Routine dusting and wipe with a mild pH-neutral cleaner.
- Avoid harsh acids/abrasives; re-seal exterior or high-stain areas as advised.
- For minor scuffs on darker shades, a gentle clean and dry buff usually restores the look.
