Eurobricks Energy Saving Systems - Brick Cladding & Brick Facades
When Eurobrick’s innovative insulated brick cladding system was
introduced to the British construction market place in 1991, it was not
forseen how 15 years later the importance of the system would become in
assisting to combat carbon emissions from buildings and hence aiding in
the conquest of global warming.
The housing stock in Britain has always suffered from the lack of
insulation to the building fabric even though Building Regulations have
been improved over the last twenty years or so to improve on a very poor
situation. With the ever present global warming phenomena, it is more
important than ever to reduce the energy loss through roofs, walls,
windows and floors.
Eurobrick’s patented system allows for an existing building to be
insulated from the outside thereby reducing the upheaval, mess and cost
that internal wall insulations would entail. By wrapping the building in
a blanket of high quality extruded polystyrene, the structure of the
building always remains warm and does not suffer from the constant
wetting and drying of traditional buildings. With the thin brick skin
applied to the polystyrene panels, the building is not only insulated
but has the extra bonus in becoming rejuvenated in appearance by the
inclusion of new brickwork. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that
the windows and doors are replaced with good quality double glazed units
and the roof space is provided with at least 200mm thick of roof
insulation.
Calculations have shown backed by anecdotal evidence from owners of
buildings that the energy savings and costs can be considerable more
especially on buildings built pre 1930’s where solid wall construction
was the norm. With a life expectancy of at least 50 years and the supply
and fitting cost of Eurobrick insulated brick cladding system for an
average semi detached house similar to that of a medium size family car,
the system has to be seriously considered in the fight to reduce energy
consumption.
Eurobrick has an extensive range of brick slips based on the Britannia
and Classic ranges which can be used externally or internally. The
Britannia range are extruded clay slip bricks nominally 215 x 65 x 15mm
thick enhanced with extruded pistol corner bricks for use at building
corners and window/door reveals. The Classic range are mainly cut stock
bricks nominally 215 x 65 x 22mm thick.
The Eurobrick system is extremely versatile being used externally or for
internal use where exposed brickwork is required as a feature to living
rooms, kitchens and fireplaces. It is extremely easy to install and can
with limited training be installed by semi skilled labour or DIY
installers. Training courses are available for the self installer or
professional labour who wish to become approved certificated installers
of the Eurobrick system.
