Brick Cladding Panel Pointing It is becoming more common when constructing and refurbishing buildings, that brick cladding systems are chosen as opposed to traditional brick laying. There are many advantages using these systems from reduced construction costs to improved insulation performance. There is an extensive range of brick finishes available for these systems, which require pointing to achieve a traditional brick finish. As a whole, most cladding installers do not offer pointing with installation of the panels and contractor's should consult a specialist pointing company, experienced in technique for panel pointing. Edward Anthony Limited (Gun-Point) have gained valuable years of experience pointing various cladding systems with great success, some of our more high profile clients include The Trafford Centre (Manchester), The G-Mex Centre (Manchester), and Brayford Quay Student Quarter (Lincoln). Whether pointing is required on site or factory based, our mechanical pointing system offers rapid production and a high standard of work. Our operatives are trained in the use of power access where scaffolding is not incorporated and are IPAF and CSCS qualified. We offer an extensive range of mortar colours and can provide specfications and joint profile recommendations for all cladding systems. Aquarian Cladding Aquarian are the UK's sole distributor of the Gebrik® Insulating Brick Cladding System. Both the Gebrik® system and our Gun-Point mechanical pointing system have been used together on many projects and have proved to be very successful. Gebrik has been tested and approved by the British Board of Agrément,. For your reference, we are delighted to include an overview of the Gebrik® system taken from their website, aquariancladding.co.uk. "Gebrik is an Insulating Brick Cladding System, invented and patented in Belgium in 1982. Over the past 25 years it has been used throughout Europe to clad in excess of 40,000 different buildings, whether for refurbishment or new-build. The system consists of over 40 different natural clay brick finishes, in a range of sizes, cast in polyurethane under factory controlled conditions. Stretcher or stack-bond panels are produced to create approx 1m² 'sheets' which are screwed directly to your masonry, timber or steel frame substrate on site. A variety of corners are also factory-produced to suit external corners, surrounds to window or door openings and any other abutments. The insulating properties of the system will help to significantly improve the thermal performance of your building and where components abut, foam is injected to ensure your façade remains impervious to water, yet still allows the wall to breathe. Gebrik is an excellent solution for overcladding existing buildings to improve appearance, thermal performance and durability. It is also considered a Modern Method of Construction and the factory-produced system will improve your build quality and programme, reduce the façade loadings on your foundations and frame, minimise your storage and delivery requirements, and reduce your dependency on good weather conditions." |
