How it works

All of our systems are suitable for larger developments or smaller domestic projects and are easily installed by semi skilled labour.

  1. The insulated backer panel is supplied pre-laminated with a vacuum formed waterproof styrene skin moulded to form a template of horizontal tracks which locate the brick or stone slips.
  2. This composite laminated panel is fixed to the wall or frame using panel fasteners specially designed to suit different substrates.
  3. A permanent bonding, weather-proof construction adhesive is applied to each course.
  4. Brick or stone slips, corners or specially made angles are then inserted between the tracks.
  5. To complete the installation, our own specially formulated pointing mortar is piped into the joints and tooled as with traditional brickwork.

Whether you’re looking at a new build or a refurbishment our system can work as external cladding (X-CLAD), interior cladding (I-CLAD) and because it’s so light you can even use it as a structural sheathing element on prefabricated buildings (P-CLAD), particularly important in today’s fast track construction. See our product overview page for more information.
