Has anybody used brick slips?

I am currently building a conservatory and I am going to use brick slips to match the house brick (ie brick tiles), has anybody used them ?

What I need to know is what backing material to stick them to.

I was thinking of 18 mm OSB ( Oriented Strand Board).

Any advice, best regards, Rustic.

never used them, but i have seen a few mobile homes covered with them and they do look pretty convincing, but wouldn't it be just as easy/cheap to use bricks?
