The Gebrik Insulating Brick Cladding System, invented and produced in Belgium, has been used throughout Europe for over 20 years and has clad in excess of 40,000 different buildings.
There are over 40 different natural clay brick finishes in a range of sizes which can be incorporated to provide either a stretcher or stack-bond appearance. The slips are cast in polyurethane to produce approx sheets of approx 1m² which are screwed directly to a solid substrate with certified fixings. A variety of corners are produced as part of the system to suit external corners and surrounds to window and door openings. Where components abut, foam is injected to ensure the facade is impervious to water, yet still allows the wall to breathe. The insulating properties of the system will also help to significantly improve the thermal performance of the façade.
In addition to the obvious benefits to refurbishing existing buildings, Gebrik is a perfect solution to the need to clad buildings using Modern Method of Construction. The factory produced panels will improve the speed and quality of build, reduce loadings on the foundations and frame, reduce storage and deliveries, and reduce the dependency on good weather conditions.
