Eurobrick are suppliers of brick and stone slip cladding systems and was the first to introduce a fully integrated insulated brick slip system to the UK in 1990. Since then, Eurobrick has developed further systems to meet the evolving demands of the construction industry and is the UK’s leading specialist for brick and stone slip cladding and one of the largest stockists of brick slips. Eurobrick is an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 accredited company.
Eurobrick’s brick slip cladding systems provide the real look, feel and durability of traditional masonry with the benefit of being extremely versatile and quick to install. The systems have a broad range of applications, including new build, rainscreen, modular and refurbishment of commercial and domestic buildings. It is robust and can be installed both on and off site, internally and externally to most construction types.

HOW THE SYSTEMS WORK
Eurobrick’s systems are quick and easy to install. Each system has a backer panel, which is supplied (pre-laminated) with a vacuum formed styrene skin bonded to it (with the exception of V-Clad, see above). The skin has moulded horizontal tracks between which the brick or stone slips are glued. To complete the installation, Eurobrick’s Europoint pointing mortar is piped into the joints and tooled to achieve a traditional masonry finish.
The cladding systems are supplied as component parts comprising; system backer panel, panel fasteners, adhesive, facing brick slips and Europoint pointing mortar. Eurobrick also supply other components including corner bricks, base trim and tools for installation.
For information regarding installation, please refer to the system specific installation instructions, view the installation videos or call Eurobrick’s technical department.

Eurobrick We have a NEW PRODUCT on the way…
Specialist experts
We are the UK’s longest established suppliers of brick slip cladding systems. As experts in this specialist sector we strive to provide products that meet the changing requirements of the construction industry, its contractors and the end users.
Providing innovation
We are pleased to inform you that we have an exciting NEW product on the way. Following extensive changes to building regulations for fire safety, it was important to create a product that could provide a non-combustible finish. And we have done just that.
Flexible solutions
Our new system is fire-rated A1 non-combustible, meaning it can be installed to any height, helping to future-proof new buildings. We have put the same care and attention into the development of this system that we always do, following robust testing prior to launch.
Stay tuned…
We are very close to launch of this new product now and look forward to sharing more information with you soon. If you would like to find out more please send an email to info@eurobrick.co.uk to ensure you get all our latest updates as soon as they are available.
Simplifying hospital projects with Eurobrick
In busy hospital environments, expansion projects and building works must be planned in meticulous detail to minimise disruption to day-to-day operations. Fast-track building methods are frequently used and, during this process, selecting an appropriate rainscreen cladding system is very important to ensure the successful function of the building and the design aesthetic.
Leading specialist Eurobrick Systems has been distributing its proprietary brick and stone slip cladding for over 30 years and has supplied many hospital expansion projects where budgets, space and time are limited.
THE RIGHT FIT
Eurobrick is an obvious choice for these types of projects, offering different systems to suit different applications, all of which are tried and tested and can be specified with confidence. This is backed up by Eurobrick’s team of experienced estimators who take the time to ensure the most suitable system is chosen to fit the specific requirements of the job. Eurobrick offers technical advice at every stage of the specification process, from estimating, and ordering to installation and any ongoing support.
FLEXIBLE
Supply schedules can be tailored to meet contractors’ work programmes and can take into account on-site conditions such as storage limitations. This was particularly important at Leicester Royal Infirmary for example, where a restrictive site situated at a busy roadside with a limited storage area, meant the P-Clad rainscreen system materials for a two-storey extension to the Congenital Heart Centre, needed to be delivered in phases, as and when required. Eurobrick worked closely with the contractor, Industrial Contracting Services to achieve this.
SPEEDY SOLUTIONS
Eurobrick’s cladding systems are lightweight and fast to install making them a good option for contractors’ working to meet challenging deadlines. Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital had this experience, where a new state-of-the-art 4300m² ward development was delivered in a compressed timeframe of just 1 year (instead of the expected 3 years) using factory-built modular construction. As Eurobrick can be off the critical path, the systems could be installed on-site without affecting the activities of other trades. These brick slip systems are also suitable for off-site installation and are robust enough to be transported to site and craned into position.
ON OR OFF-SITE
Versatile, yet simple, Eurobrick is suitable for modular and new build projects offering a fast track to a real brick finish that is low maintenance and will weather like traditional brickwork. The award-winning new Wellbeing Hub at University Hospital Southampton is a 20 modular bay building which was finished on-site using Eurobrick’s X-Clad EWI system with extruded brick slips from their Britannia colour range.
Hospital projects can present a plethora of challenges to the NHS, its architects and contractors, who need creative solutions that keep projects on time and on budget. Reliability, versatility, robustness and speed are key considerations in the decision-making process.
