BRICK SLIP CLADDING
Brick is familiar, comforting and reliable. That is why
it is still a popular choice of finish for architects seeking
to incorporate the traditional values of warmth and strength
in their designs.
Traditionally, brick slips were manufactured by literally
removing the face of an existing brick. This however proved
to be very costly and led to a substantial amount of waste
material.
The WBS Brick Slip
System provides a unique,
cost effective method of achieving a genuine brick effect
by using brick slips and pistol corners that have been specially
designed for this particular purpose.
The WBS Brick Slip Systems are particularly beneficial,
especially for projects where the use of real brick is impossible
or impractical.
As brick slip application reduces the need for highly skilled
tradesmen and foundations, the demand for this unique method
of creating a natural looking façade has increasingly
grown. In conjunction with our brick manufacturing partners
we are now able to offer a unique range of brick slips that
are manufactured and fired in exactly the same way as traditional
bricks.
| Why is the WBS Brick
Slip System So Unique? |
The basis of the WBS Brick Slip
System is the specially profiled galvanised steel / stainless
steel brick mesh which is fixed directly onto the existing
substrate or EWI system. The mesh is fixed using specialist
fasteners of the appropriate length to give a suitable penetration
into all types of substrate, which must comply with wind
loading requirements.
The unique profiling of the mesh creates a natural brick
course and joint width, which enables the installer to achieve
perfectly level courses. Brick slips are bedded in WBS adhesive
mortar and pointed using coloured WBS
Polymer Pointing Mortars.
WBS brick slips are available in a standard range of colours
and textures, however others may be obtained by special
order (details on request). Pistol corner bricks are available
for building corners and to return the system into window
and door reveals.
Specially designed base profiles and verge trims are also
available to ensure that the edges of the system are sealed
and watertight.
