Magnesium oxide backed cladding system is a suitable solution for schemes where the brick façade system needs to be an exact match to adjoining traditionally built brickwork and can be used as a total or partially clad solution to achieve a brick cladding wall.

The BBA assessed two cladding panel designs attached to various structures via timber battens to produce the external skin of a building. The certificate (17/5475) only covers the durability of the bond between the brick facings and the magnesium oxide panels. No assessment has been made of the properties of the panels to which the brick slips have been bonded (see certificate 16/5328) or the framework used to support the panels.

The surface of this brick cladding system consists of brick slips and mortar, both of which are inorganic and therefore non – combustible. The backing panel achieves a rating of A1 when classified in accordance with BS EN 1SO 13501-1: 2002.

Features and benefits:

The brick slips panels are made from bricks to BS EN 771-1 : 2011.
The cladding panels are based on 9 mm thick magnesium oxide boards, manufactured to a defined specification.
The bonding agent is Brick-fix 3-1, a two-part gap filling epoxy adhesive covered by BBA Certificate 16/5328.
The system can be applied to various substrates including masonry, timber and steel-framed structures.
The brick cladding systems are versatile and can be manufactured using any standard facing bricks or an extensive range of purpose made brick slips.
Materials can either be collected from site or sourced independently and panels can be manufactured to suit stone, bricks or other external finishes including glazed bricks.
Brick slips are set into a steel template or jig that ensures accurate alignment, giving the appearance of seamless continuous brickwork.

Systems:

The fabricated panels are supplied in various sizes/designs to enable entire fascia's to be constructed including:

Six course panels,
Four course panels,
Soffit panels,
Corner panels,
Panels incorporating window jambs,
Standalone window jamb panels.
