The warm tones and textures of brick ensure it remains a firm favourite in the UK. The popularity of brick slips and brick slip cladding has grown widely, something which Eurobrick Systems can testify to as they have seen this growth first hand, since introducing brick slip cladding to the UK over 30 years ago.

Eurobrick offer a range of four systems for installing brick slips in different settings. Insulated systems for new build or retrofit, a rigid rainscreen system and a variation for interior projects. These systems have been extensively supplied to all sectors including residential, commercial, public sector, education, leisure and hospitality. Alongside these systems, Eurobrick stock a wide selection of brick slips (Britannia and Classic ranges), pointing mortars and all associated materials.

Eurobrick’s Classic range is a collection of mostly cut brick slips, offering a traditional stock style brick with deeply textured finishes which are very popular, particularly for interiors projects. These slips have featured in numerous retail and hospitality premises providing instant character and warmth to interior.

Trends change, but currently the most popular brick slips in this range are Whitby Red, Topaz and St Ives Cream Rustica.

Whitby Red is an attractive, tumbled brick which adds warmth and character. It was used along with Eurobrick’s I-Clad system, which was designed specifically for interiors projects, on a number of Notcutts garden centres. You can see their restaurant in Ditchling, West Sussex here.

 

 

 

Topaz provides a warm, textured, aged finish that was used at Primark’s flagship store on Oxford Street, along with the I-Clad system as the project required a lightweight system that was quick and easy to install. See more here.

 

 

 

St Ives Cream Rustica provides a blend of cream and grey hues with a distressed, tactile finish which helped to create characterful and stylish interiors at The Hoxton, Southwark. Eurobrick’s I-Clad system was used here for its slim profile, with a depth which starts from just 28mm thick including the brick slip. See more of The Hoxton here.

 

 

With a variety of colours and styles, the Classic Range has something to suit all projects. The approximate size of Classic range brick slips is around 210-215mm in length by 65mm height with a thickness of 20-25mm. Corners are also available and usually measure 210-215 x 65 x 100 x 20-25mm.

Eurobrick’s systems and brick slips provide a finish that is virtually indistinguishable from traditional brickwork. If you would like to discuss your project or brick slip requirements in more detail, please call them on 0117 971 7117. They can advise you on a wide range of finishes and bespoke products if required. You can find out more about Eurobrick’s systems and products at www.eurobrick.co.uk.

A flexible brick finish to suit any residential project

Eurobrick was first to introduce a comprehensively designed brick slip cladding system to the UK nearly 30 years ago, and has supplied many different kinds of residential housing projects since. These days, increasing numbers of projects are delivered using modern methods of construction but brick remains a popular finish, particularly in British architecture. This can raise questions about the best way to achieve a brick finish without hampering the many benefits of modern construction. But Eurobrick offer a number of flexible brick slip cladding solutions, that can fulfill the needs of any residential project.

The off-site construction and modular sectors have long recognised the benefits of brick slip cladding compared to traditional brickwork. Without doubt, ease and speed of installation is a major benefit. Eurobrick’s systems are robust enough to be installed off-site and withstand the stresses of being lifted, transported to site on the back of a lorry and craned into position. A modular building that can be delivered to site without requiring substantial finishing works to the exterior helps reduce on-site operations which can be costly, are subject to other scheduled site activities or delays and can be at the mercy of the weather.

The systems are lightweight, compared to traditional brickwork, and are easy to handle and cut to size. In a controlled factory environment, an installer should be able to install at least 1m² per hour. Only semi-skilled labour is needed, so with the skills shortage in the construction industry, reducing dependency on traditional skilled labour is also a benefit.

Eurobick Leighton Road 1Eurobrick’s systems can be installed both on- or off-site and are suitable for both new-build or retrofit projects. The wide range of brick slips now available allows for matching finishes to existing structures, or keeping in style with other housing in a local area. A new build development on Leighton Road in London, recently took advantage of this. Two new buildings linked by a courtyard provide a mix of apartments, maisonettes and duplexes, along with a commercial office space. Eurobrick supplied their X-Clad system for the project and brick slips were sourced to fit in with the surrounding area, providing an attractive contemporary design.

Eurobrick Cotton Exchange imageEurobrick’s X-Clad system also allows for adding layers of insulation from 17-100mm thick which can help to meet the U-Value targets of a project and provide benefits to existing housing stock that needs updating or suffers from poor insulation. The Cotton Exchange in London is a good example of this. This project involved the conversion and redevelopment of a dilapidated warehouse into thirty four loft style apartments. X-Clad was used to provide insulation to the older property and the building has been given a new lease of life.

Eurobrick Norwood Road 1If space is at a premium, building upwards is also achievable with Eurobrick. The systems are lightweight and do not require the foundations associated with traditional masonry. When adding extra floors, the low weight can simplify design and reduce engineering costs. Norwood Road is an interesting example of this type of project.  A residential development where existing floors above a ground floor retail unit were demolished in order to build nine new apartments above the store below. This was particularly challenging, as the store was to remain trading during construction. Eurobrick’s P-Clad system helped to minimize disruption.

As well as providing a flexible finish, brick slip cladding is durable too. It weathers and ages like conventional brickwork and requires little to no maintenance. Eurobrick systems are guaranteed for 25 years and have been independently tested and certified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) and are LABC (Local Authority Building Control) registered.

There are many advantages to brick slip cladding, most notably the aesthetic advantage of achieving a real brick finish without compromising on speed of delivery, giving it a firm place in the future of modern construction.
