Leading Italian render manufacturer, Fassa Bortolo, has recently launched a new collaboration with Brickplus, to bring the beauty of brick to modern rendered facades.
Suitable for use within select Fassatherm External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems, the new brickslips add a striking finishing touch to residential properties, and can be applied onto a number of substrates, including Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and Mineral Wool.
The product offers a wide number of benefits for the applicator. Installation is quick and easy as the brickslip panels simply attach to the surface with a high-performance adhesive, making application 12 times faster than traditional slips. As a result, the build process is sped up and labour cost is positively impacted. Site waste is also dramatically reduced, with the manufacturers offering a recycling service which involves the removal of the pallet and packaging.
Available in nine different colours, spanning Sunset Orange which features smudges of black, to London Yellow, there is a solution for every project. More complex colours are available to order at an additional cost.
Samples are available to view and orders can be placed at select distributors nationwide. Please visit the Fassa website to find your nearest seller.
To bring applicators up to speed with this exciting new development, there will be a number of training days at Fassa HQ with the company’s resident demonstrator. Applicators will be able to view dates and sign up to attend over the coming weeks.
Dale Telling, commercial manager at Fassa Bortolo UK comments: ‘We’ve been busy perfecting this product with our partner Brickplus for some time now and look forward to introducing this new solution to the UK build market. Whether specified to give large wall areas a realistic brick-effect, or chosen to add detail to windows and doors, the brickslips open up new possibilities for Fassa, and will help to make jobs that little bit easier for those who need to specify high quality, realistic brick alternatives.”
