Europoint Mortar is A1-Rated
Europoint is our proprietary pointing mortar, carefully formulated for performance and reliability. Originally developed in the early 2000s for use with our brick slip cladding systems, Europoint has a proven track record.
Prioritising Safety
Fire safety is a critical concern in today’s construction industry. Building Regulations now require non-combustible materials (Class A1 or A2) to be used in the construction of external walls of residential buildings over 11 metres and commercial use buildings over 18 metres. This includes the pointing mortars used in brick slip cladding systems.
In response to these requirements, we introduced our A-Clad non-combustible cladding system. As a component of this system, Europoint underwent rigorous fire testing and achieved an A1 fire rating (EN 13501-1; 2018). This classification makes Europoint fully compliant for use on buildings of any height, meeting the highest fire safety standards.
Specially Formulated for Ease of Use
Europoint’s formulation ensures quick and easy application, whether using gun or bag injection methods. Beyond cladding systems, it is also ideal for repairing pointing in existing masonry walls. Its versatility, efficiency, and reliability have made it a go-to choice for contractors and DIYers alike.
Available in eight colors, Europoint offers the flexibility to match a variety of aesthetic preferences, as the choice of mortar can significantly impact a project’s final appearance. Supplied in 25kg dry-pack bags, it’s easy to transport, store, and handle on-site. Whether you are embarking on a new build, a refurbishment, or a repair, Europoint provides a high-performance solution.

Eurobrick launch new non-combustible brick slip cladding system
Eurobrick is the UK’s longest-established brick slip cladding system company. With nearly 35 years of expertise in this specialist sector, the team at Eurobrick have been designing and developing products to meet the changing requirements of the construction industry for many years. With this in mind, Eurobrick are pleased to announce the launch of their latest cladding system, A-Clad.
New legislation
In recent years Building Regulations have been amended and new legislation passed which requires external finishes on taller buildings to be non-combustible. To meet these requirements, A-Clad has been developed as a complete non-combustible system.
A future proof solution
Eurobrick responded to the growing demand for a non-combustible brick slip rainscreen system by developing A-Clad which achieves Class A1 Euro Classification of Reaction to Fire and can be installed on buildings of any height. Eurobrick understand that the best way to future-proof a building is to ensure that it remains functional throughout its lifespan, and A-Clad can help to achieve this.
Quality and assurance
Extensive fire testing has been carried out on every component part of A-Clad with the complete system achieving Class A1. In addition to this, Eurobrick have put the same level of care and attention into developing every detail with a whole suite of mechanical tests on A-Clad including resistance to wind loads, hard and soft body impact, water penetration and bond strength. With safety being at the forefront of everyone’s minds, these tests have proven it is a robust system that can be specified with confidence. Eurobrick also expect to receive third-party certification from the British Board of Agrément (BBA) for A-Clad in the coming months.
Eurobrick has a range of brick slip cladding systems that include well-known solutions such as X-Clad and P-Clad. With the addition of A-Clad, they now offer systems that are suitable for all applications – internal, external, retrofit, new build, rainscreen, high rise, residential and commercial.
