For architects and specifiers, selecting the right façade is about more than aesthetics. Performance, buildability, compliance, and build programme all play a critical role in delivering successful outcomes. Eurobrick offers brick cladding systems designed to meet the demands of modern construction, while providing the authentic appearance of traditional brick.

Each system from Eurobrick has been developed to suit specific project requirements, ensuring versatility across different sectors, building types and functions.

CLADDING SYSTEMS

A-Clad is a complete non-combustible rainscreen system, designed for use on buildings to any height. Ideal for fast-track construction it is fixed to aluminium cladding rails. This system is rated A1 (non-combustible) under Euro classification for reaction to fire and is a robust solution for both performance and safety. As Eurobrick’s newest system, so far A-Clad has been used on apartment buildings, police facilities and lift shafts.

X-Clad is a versatile external wall insulation system that can be installed both on and off-site. X-Clad is available in different thicknesses and is well suited for modular and new build projects as well as improving the energy efficiency of older properties. Recent projects using X-Clad include the extension and renovation of an Edwardian property in Wimbledon, covering an old rendered façade and seamlessly joining to the new part of the house to create a contemporary finish.

P-Clad is a proven rainscreen system widely specified for its slim profile, durability and ease of installation where a wall cavity is required. Suitable for a range of building types, it delivers a dependable solution for new build, refurbishment/remodelling projects. Parkside at the Imperial War Museum in London used P-Clad as it allowed for the creation of a technically challenging finish made up of vertical and horizontal stretcher bond patterns with a relief effect and Eurobrick also supplied specially manufactured soffits and sills.

I-Clad is specifically designed for both commercial and domestic interiors. It can be fixed to battens, timber frame or light gauge steel stud walling systems, providing a brick finish that saves on internal space. It is also lightweight, quick and easy to install. A characterful loft style finish was created at The Hoxton, Southwark using I-Clad and St Ives Cream Rustica brick slips from Eurobrick’s Classic range of slips.

V-Clad is a budget system for smaller projects which can be used on interior or exterior walls and fitted directly to masonry and concrete to improve internal living conditions. Ideal for both renovation and new builds, it is lightweight and easy to install.

There are many cladding finishes on the market, but the warm tones and textures of brick ensure it remains a firm favourite. The benefits of brick slip cladding mean it has grown in popularity over the years, something which Eurobrick Systems can attest to as the first company to introduce brick slip cladding to the UK over 30 years ago. They have seen first-hand how the market for brick slips and brick slip cladding systems has grown, supplying a wide range of sectors including residential, commercial, public sector, education, leisure and hospitality projects throughout the UK. Over the last 30 years Eurobrick have developed their systems to meet changing demands, and currently have four different systems with a range of benefits.

X-CLAD – INSULATED

The original system, X-Clad, combines the benefits of thermal insulation with brick slips and has a lightweight, slim profile. Suitable for external installations up to 11m high on residential (including dormitories, hospital wards, hotels etc) and up to 18m on commercial (offices, retail etc), X-Clad is ideal for new build, modular or retrofit projects. It can be supplied with a backer panel thickness to provide 17-100mm of insulation and has an installed weight starting from just 36kg/m2. X-Clad can be fixed to most substrates including masonry, concrete, timber or light gauge steel framed walls, SIPS and ICF, with or without a drainable cavity and can be retrofitted without additional foundations or groundworks. As well as transforming the appearance of a property, it will help save energy, reduce bills and carbon emissions and improve the interior living conditions of older properties.

P-CLAD – RAINSCREEN

P-Clad provides an external rainscreen and is designed to be fixed directly to battens or bracket and rail systems, ideal for modular construction and new builds constructed with a steel frame substrate. The total system depth starts from just 25mm with an installed system weight from 53kg/m2. P-Clad is suitable for installations up to 11m high on residential (including dormitories, hospital wards, hotels etc) and up to 18m on commercial (offices, retail etc).

View project: Rainscreen at Godiva Place.

I-CLAD – INTERIORS

I-Clad was developed specifically for interiors with a slimline system profile starting from just 28mm which can help to minimise loss of valuable interior space when adding a real brick finish. It can be fixed to battens or timber/light gauge steel stud walling systems and has a system weight from 45kg/m2.  Popular with retail and hospitality, I-Clad is suitable for commercial and domestic interiors.

View project: Loft Style interiors at The Hoxton. 

V-CLAD – RETROFIT

Ideal for small renovation projects, V-Clad is Eurobrick’s economy system. It has a system depth starting from 35mm. It can be fixed to masonry, concrete, sheathed timber or light gauge steel framed walls, SIPS and ICF. V-Clad is lightweight, with a system weight from 32kg/m2, and is easy to handle and fast to fix.

Once installed, Eurobrick’s systems are virtually indistinguishable from traditional brickwork, providing a low maintenance, durable brick finish.

Eurobrick brick slip cladding systems installed on new apartment developments

image -074Enquiries from architects and developers about new apartment building developments has increased significantly over the past year or so for Eurobrick Systems. Traditional masonry construction is not always appropriate for some developments so alternative building methods are being sought.

Eurobrick is the UK’s leading brick slip cladding specialist and has supplied both its X-Clad and P-Clad systems for installation on residential developments. Both systems have been rigorously tested and have third party certification from the BBA (British Board of Agrément) and are also LABC (Local Authority Building Control) registered.

Euro Brick 15-5-15 0163X-Clad is lightweight, having an installed system weight starting from 36kg/m². It is easy to handle and cut on-site allowing for quick installation. The extruded polystyrene backer panel is available up to 100mm thick. With a thermal conductivity of 0.033W/mK, X-Clad can enhance the overall thermal performance of the development if required.

The P-Clad system has a 10mm thick cement particle board backer panel – designed to be fixed directly to battens or bracket systems. It was developed for use as an external sheathing where there is no requirement for insulation. P-Clad is certified for installation on buildings over 18m high (constructed with steel frame substrate).

Euro Brick 15-5-15 0027Eurobrick Systems has recently had an assessment report of the P-Clad system in combination with Nvelop helping hand and rail system and Xtratherm Safe-R Phenolic insulation board. This combination of materials was assessed by BRE Global against the performance criteria of BR 135. The assessment paves the way for P-Clad to be installed where greater insulation performance needs to be achieved at high level.

This assessment forms part of an ongoing programme at Eurobrick to ensure fire performance compliance with a range of different façade build ups incorporating P-Clad. This programme has arisen as a result of Eurobrick receiving a great number of enquiries from developers and contractors, for applications of P-Clad above 18m in various situations. Other assessments and variations should soon be in place.

Residential developments where X-Clad and P-Clad systems have been recently installed include; The Central at Iverson Road, West Hampstead and The Point at Gants Hill, Ilford. Both are large, new build developments of 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments.
