Ibstock has developed the innovative technology for Brick Faced GRC panels, columns and spandrels panels, which at 100kgs per m² offer savings to clients in both weight and speed of installation.
Hand-made, extruded or standard brick slips, 16 to 24mm thick, are mechanically fixed to the Grade 18p concrete with threaded stainless steel rods embedded in the rear face of the brick.
Pull out values in excess of 2 kN per anchor are achieved with Brick faced GRC, while special lime mortars ensure penetrating moisture is evacuated through the pointing joints.
Manufactured in rubber moulds, our Brick Faced GRC can use any brick of an appropriate quality in stack, running and ‘Flemish’ bond with depth/style of pointing created from the in-house manufactured mould design. The weight of brick faced GRC is significantly lighter than hand laid brick and precast alternatives.
