The dated building was given a complete facelift with a mixed finish of Eurobrick and Trespa cladding. Approximately 550m² of our 17mm X-Clad was installed and finished with a red multi stock brick and Sandstone colour Europoint mortar. X-Clad is an external wall insulation (EWI)
brick slip cladding system that is suitable for both new build and retrofit projects and includes the option to add different thicknesses of insulation to help meet the U-Value targets of a project while maintaining a lightweight, slim profile. With a wide variety of brick slips available, and the flexibility to use alongside other finishes, any number of traditional or contemporary finishes can be achieved. The cladding installation was completed last
year by LB&F Ltd for Skillmaster Ltd and the building is almost unrecognisable from its former design with a distinctive, contemporary new look. Over recent years, the market for brick slips
has grown significantly and there is now a large selection of slips available, from traditional characterful styles to smooth, crisp edged contemporary ones. Eurobrick’s brick slip ranges
allow for most design aspirations and palettes. Brick slip cladding is versatile and durable.
It will weather and age in the same way as conventional brickwork, requiring little to no maintenance. Eurobrick’s systems are BBA certified and they also offer a 25 year product guarantee.
