Eurobricks Energy Saving Systems for 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 the system would
have 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.
