Boasting a minimum life expectancy of 30 years and Category 1 impact resistance, Acrylic Brick Slips have undergone rigorous testing and certification by Wetherby.

This accreditation ensures that the decorative finishes meet or exceed the highest quality standards, rendering them resilient against even the harshest environmental conditions.
