Brick Slips | Brick Slip Tiles by Wetherby - Anybody use them?

[Aston]

hi

i know this is petes speciality but what do you think of this video highlighting their exterior 'brick slip' system. the company does render systems but this falls into a tilers domain so i thought id show their video its exterior work that includes 'exterior wall insulation' (this is getting very popular)...any good tiler would be able to add this to their repetoir....anyway, hope you enjoy it, it might spark a new idea or 2

Not sure if it's the same bloke, but I had an email about this from a company who supplies or manufactures the stuff.

Looks good to me. I could see it getting used in some applications. Though not as many as tiling perhaps.

Re: brick slip system by wetherby

its over the top and a arm and a leg imo and yes thats why i have taken it up but its hard to break into architects and brick layers know better :incazzato:

Matclad Ltd in Wales was the firm I spoke to about them.

exterior cladding over external wall insulation is becoming very very popular. its another area for tilers to break into.

the vid clip was put up to show people that its quite easy to do thats all. :0)

Hey hey!

Did I hear our name?! Matclad Ltd (Paul here)

Yes that's quite a common system as is Wienerberger's Corium system but as was rightly said they cost an arm and a leg and are really for specifiers of large building projects and not smallish projects due to volume of scale... However...

Oddly enough - though we have been working very hard at this we have a new patented product which is going to cut the INSTALLED cost - never mind the system cost in half and still achieve the right thermal insulation properties. It is also VERY easy to use.

There will be a full product launch coming shortly so watch this space.

In the interim if anyone wants some samples of slips to test out with I will do a deal for the forums people just to help some people get used to the product if the demand is there.

Yes Ed,

It is more suited to tilers really though tilers then have to learn about bonding patterns, soldier courses around reveals but it is not difficult to learn and really opens up:

Interior shop refits where they want feature walls
Retail customer feature walls,
Fireplace renovations,

A huge proportion of UK cladding is in refits and internal work though it will become more prevalent on full new builds due to speed and excellent thermal properties of the systems + it's very fast and not weather dependent.
