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.
