Brick slips, the innovation continues

Facades strongly influence the aesthetics of houses and buildings. It is a recurring challenge to design a suitable, functional and unique appearance for a facade. Brick slips add an extra design option while the familiar feeling of a brick wall remains intact.

Architects now face the challenge of renovating a building as sustainably as possible, but the client often demands aesthetic masterpieces. Brick slips, or also called wall cladding, offer a solution here. Innovation is also taking place in concrete. MBI, producer of unreinforced concrete products, is currently involved in various renovation as well as new construction projects with its concrete brick slips.

Facade renovation gives an authentic building a modern look

A facade renovation with GeoStylistix wall cladding preserves the authentic character of a home. The outside gets a new and modern look. Combined with facade insulation, the brick slips also ensure a perfect insulation shell around the house. This method of insulation is interesting if the insulation value is not sufficient or is in poor condition.

Facade renovation is sustainable and comfortable

By properly insulating an outer facade, you will no longer be bothered by moisture and drafts. Facade insulation is sustainable, environmentally friendly and provides significant savings on heating costs. MBI works together with various suppliers for this. Cold and drafts in a home or office space are uncomfortable, by insulating the outer facade you restore the natural balance inside and your property becomes comfortable again. GeoStylistix brick slips are quick and easy to install on insulating materials.

Brick slips for facade renovation

GeoStylistix are facing bricks with a top layer of high-quality natural materials with a very refined structure. The long format brick slips have a size of 595x15x40 (LxWxH). With a wide range of colour nuances, this is the most stylish wall cladding at the moment.

There is also a choice for the smaller budget. The S-Design series is a colourful collection with a high-quality GeoSteen® top layer. Due to the mix of natural stone and minerals, the shade has a luxurious appearance and offers better colourfastness and long-term colour retention.

Despite the small thickness of 15mm, the wall cladding  retain the same positive properties as the “original” facing bricks. In terms of appearance, the wall cladding does can hardly be differentiated from the facing bricks.
