Since 1990, Eurobrick Systems has specialised in brick slip cladding in the UK. Last year, they launched A-Clad, a non-combustible brick slip rainscreen system that is fully fire-tested and achieves A1 rating for reaction to fire.

As regulatory requirements have changed, demand has grown for cladding systems that provide demonstrable fire performance without compromising on design or construction.

A-Clad has been developed to meet these requirements, combining robust safety credentials with the flexibility needed for a wide range of building types. The system has undergone rigorous fire and mechanical testing and is now being specified across different sectors.

“A-Clad has been designed to give specifiers confidence,” says Richard Haines, Director of Eurobrick. “It’s the complete system that has been comprehensively tested to ensure safety and performance. This full system testing is fundamental to providing peace of mind and is what sets A-Clad apart from other systems.”

The rigorous testing ensures that A-Clad performs not only in terms of fire safety, but also durability and long-term resilience. With safety and compliance at the forefront of specification decisions, A-Clad provides a robust solution that can be specified with confidence.

A complete system backed by technical expertise

A-Clad is supplied as a complete system, backed by Eurobrick’s in-house estimating and technical team, who brings over four decades of experience in cladding systems. They can provide:

  • Detailed design reviews to identify practical or cost-efficiency issues early on
  • Comprehensive take-offs and accurate estimates
  • Ongoing technical guidance throughout the design and build process
  • Use of Eurobrick Approved Installers to ensure correct installation, or…
  • Dedicated A-Clad installer training delivered by Eurobrick’s technical specialists

This level of technical support is often critical in reducing costly design revisions, avoiding unnecessary on-site delays and supporting smooth project delivery. Eurobrick work closely with architects, contractors and installers from early design and specification stages right through to completion.

Designed for a wide range of applications

A-Clad is part of Eurobrick’s established portfolio of brick slip systems and is suitable for all applications, including new build and refurbishment projects. The system is currently being specified on projects within the residential, education and public sector, including apartment buildings, student accommodation schemes, and operational buildings such as police stations. It has also been selected for technically demanding applications, including lift shafts, where performance and compliance are critical.

This breadth of use demonstrates the versatility of A-Clad and its ability to meet both regulatory and design requirements across different building types. Eurobrick looks forward to sharing further details of completed A-Clad projects in the near future.

Technical documentation and training

Full A-Clad system specifications, technical literature, installation guidance and training information are available on the Eurobrick website at www.eurobrick.co.uk. Installer training is a prerequisite for the A-Clad system and can be arranged directly with Eurobrick’s technical team by emailing info@eurobrick.co.uk.

Eurobrick is the UK’s longest-established brick slip cladding system company. With nearly 35 years of expertise in this specialist sector, the team at Eurobrick have been designing and developing products to meet the changing requirements of the construction industry for many years. With this in mind, Eurobrick are pleased to announce the launch of their latest cladding system, A-Clad.

New legislation

In recent years Building Regulations have been amended and new legislation passed which requires external finishes on taller buildings to be non-combustible. To meet these requirements, A-Clad has been developed as a complete non-combustible system.

A future proof solution

Eurobrick responded to the growing demand for a non-combustible brick slip rainscreen system by developing A-Clad which achieves Class A1 Euro Classification of Reaction to Fire and can be installed on buildings of any height. Eurobrick understand that the best way to future-proof a building is to ensure that it remains functional throughout its lifespan, and A-Clad can help to achieve this.

Quality and assurance

Extensive fire testing has been carried out on every component part of A-Clad with the complete system achieving Class A1. In addition to this, Eurobrick have put the same level of care and attention into developing every detail with a whole suite of mechanical tests on A-Clad including resistance to wind loads, hard and soft body impact, water penetration and bond strength. With safety being at the forefront of everyone’s minds, these tests have proven it is a robust system that can be specified with confidence. Eurobrick also expect to receive third-party certification from the British Board of Agrément (BBA) for A-Clad in the coming months.

Eurobrick has a range of brick slip cladding systems that include well-known solutions such as X-Clad and P-Clad. With the addition of A-Clad, they now offer systems that are suitable for all applications – internal, external, retrofit, new build, rainscreen, high rise, residential and commercial.
