The Top 5 Best-Selling Brick Slips of 2026

If you want to know what is on trend in brick slips, here is your update as to which blends are the most popular so far this year.

You may want to take inspiration from the choices of others, or you may use this list to try and do the opposite, creating something more unique with a completely different blend that hasn't made the list!

Some of our blends lend themselves well to different project types; fireplace projects can be different to full property recladding projects! For some blends, they're increasingly popular with specific mortar colours, so we'll let you know the top combinations so far in 2026.

The below are in blend number order-

Blend 1

Style: Reclaimed

Primary Colour: Brown

For those who find red a bit too bold, Blend 1 offers a sophisticated, grounded alternative. These brown reclaimed slips provide a sense of stability and warmth, making them perfect for kitchen splashbacks or feature walls in studies, small fireplace projects or full property cladding. It's also wowing in some lovely flooring projects.

Best Paired With: Cream mortar is the go-to choice to highlight the organic brown tones and keep the overall colouring light.

Alternative Look: Pair it with grey mortar to make a more industrial look.

Blend 4

Style: Reclaimed

Primary Colour: Red

Blend 4 is our iconic "exposed brick" look that feels like it’s been there for a century. It features a rich, multi-tonal red base with the weathered texture you’d expect from salvaged masonry, and whiteness across the blend. It works anywhere and with anything - as it's pre-aged in look it is absolutely timeless.

Best Paired With: Cream mortar is the fan favourite here, as it softens the red for a warm, historic feel.

Alternative Look: Go with white mortar to brighten the whole wall or floor - the white mortar works fantastically with the whiteness on the blend.

Blend 10

Style: Reclaimed

Primary Colour: Cream

If your main concern with brick is that it could make your space look darker, look no further. Airy and bright, Blend 10 is your match. It offers the rugged, creased texture of a reclaimed brick but in a soft, sandy cream palette.

Best Paired With: Most customers use either cream or white mortar. Using a matching light mortar creates a monolithic, textured wall that feels expansive and modern. There is a difference in look between the two combinations that you'll need to consider.

Blend 20

Style: Traditional

Primary Colour: Red

Blend 20 is a traditional red brick. It's not the extruded, cheaper, monotone-looking brick you may find on many new build estates today, though. A red base with darker aspects, and flashes of orange, it also has a creased texture and even slight shape variations, albeit not like the reclaimed collection. It is very popular in external cladding, fireplaces and kitchens.

Best Paired With: Cream mortar remains the most popular choice for a classic finish, keeping the overall look light.

Alternative Look: To go more traditional, go for grey mortar. A classic red brick and grey mortar works nicely on external cladding projects, particularly.

Blend 71

Style: Traditional

Primary Colour: Brown and White

Blend 71 stands out for its unique "tumbled" aesthetic, without being tumbled. It mixes deep browns with heavy white accents, mimicking the look of aged lime-washed masonry. It’s perfect for adding texture without darkening a room. The salts in the brick-making process are what bring out the whiteness when exposed to moisture and then dried. This means each slip is unique in terms of the balance of brown and white. Blend 71 is popular for every type of project, small or large, internal or external, domestic or commercial.

Best Paired With: This blend is incredibly versatile with lighter joints. White mortar creates a seamless, bright surface, while cream mortar adds a touch of vintage elegance.

The Best of the Rest

The top five is a tight contest, so here are 3 others that were very close to making it:

Blend 2

A neutral reclaimed style beige, extremely versatile with subtle colour differences. Blend 2 is most popular paired with cream mortar right now, but it also suits white very nicely. The variation works nicely on feature walls or property cladding, and complements other decor without too much variation in smaller projects like fireplaces or kitchen backsplashes.

Blend 3

A classic industrial style red brick with black and white variants, blend 3 from the reclaimed collection is very versatile, most often paired with either cream or grey mortar. It works on all project types with a simple but effective variation.

Blend 89

Blend 89 is a traditional brick shape in orange variations, with some darker aspects. The tone variation lends itself best to projects from feature walls up to property cladding so you can really see the subtle variation. It is most popular with cream mortar.
