Structherm Fastbrick
Fastbrick is a real brick slip cladding system combining the advantages of modern construction techniques with the appeal of traditional brickwork.
The System:
The installation of the Structherm Fastbrick system is much quicker than traditionally built masonry and to a higher quality standard. It’s ideal for use as a durable, decorative and thermal insulating finish to external vertical walls.
Fastbrick is suitable for fixing to existing or new build structures that use masonry, dense concrete, modular units, timber or metal frames.
The system comprises a rigid phenolic insulation panel which Structherm pre-bonds to a brickwork coordinating carrier sheet. This composite panel is then fixed to the substructure on site, and brick slips are fixed to the carrier sheet using a purpose made adhesive. A specialist pointing mortar completes the installation and gives the perfect finish.
Fastbrick incorporates standard 20mm brick slips; however small areas such as corbels and dentil courses can be achieved by altering the thickness of the finishes from 15mm to 30mm.
External corners, soldier courses and reveals can also be achieved by the use of L-shaped pistol slips.
