SALAMANDER BRICKSLIP SYSTEM
Salamander is the leading-edge brick cladding system. It is the most comprehensively tested and certified non-combustible
rainscreen cladding system of its kind.
SIMPLE, COST EFFECTIVE AND FAST INSTALLATION
Salamander delivers the aesthetic appeal of real clay brick, but with the financial saving, structural load saving and installation time saving of a lightweight mechanically fixed system.
It also exceeds the rigorous testing standards developed by the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology (CWCT). Salamander eliminates the weather dependency of traditional building methods without compromising on the choice of brick finish.
Salamander BrickSlip System Overview
Use Salamander on:
- Steel frame
- Concrete frame
- Brickwork
- Dense concrete blockwork (minimum 1450 kg/m3)
- Lightweight steel framing
- Existing masonry
- Timber frame
Please check suitability of Salamander for your project with an SBSI Advisor.
System Details Perspective
Detailed System sketches available upon request
BrickSlip
Clay fired bricks of any size format can normally be accommodated. Standard BrickSlips are 20mm thickness and grooves in each slip are designed in order to sit on the salamander profile.
Standard bricks are 215x 65mm (May varies upon request)
Durability
Suitable for severe exposure applications.
Equivalent to F2 designation to BS EN 771-1.
Soluble Salt Content
Soluble salt content is negligible and is not tested.
Equivalent to S2 designation to BS EN 771-1.
Water Absorption
The water absorption of the tiles to BS EN 771-1 is < 7 %.
Salamander Profile
Salamander Profile 1- 7 rows rails can be affixed either directly to Substrate, or to vertical L or T rails fixed back to a substrate by means of wall brackets. The Salamander profile is profiled to suit the brickslip coursing height in different course of row, starting from Single row profile up to 7 rows. It is available in 0.7mm thick Magnelis metallic coated Steel (ZM310 and ZM340) or 0.5mm thick Stainless steel (grades 304 and 316).
Magnelis
Magnelis is a flat carbon steel product coated on both sides with a zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy. This alloy, composed of 93.5% zinc, 3.5% aluminium and 3% magnesium, is applied by means of a continuous hot dip galvanising process.
Salamander Profiles are Available in two coatings:
ZM310 - Coating weight of 310g/m² (35 μm)
ZM430 - Coating weight of 430g/m² (35 μm)
What is Salamander BrickSlip?
Designed to create brick façades by combining the aesthetics and tradition of brick with the benefits of a ventilated façade system, Salamander BrickSlip is a UK patented brick cladding system developed by Echo Facades Engineering Solutions Ltd. for the construction industry.
Designed for ease and speed of installation, the Salamander brick cladding system enables specifiers to select a brick façade appearance, colour and texture to meet their design intent and local planning requirements. The mechanically fixed brick façade system is used to create the look of a genuine brick façade thanks to specialist clays extruded to form the BrickSlip shape combined with corrosion-resistant Salamander Profiles. The result is a brick façade that is lighter, faster to install, durable, and aesthetically appealing, while also offering cost and environmental benefits.
- Faster and easier to install.
- Mechanically fixed with no reliance on adhesives.
- Manufactured bricks ensure technical consistency.
- Provides design flexibility.
- Can be installed from mast climbers.
- Reduced storage required on site
- No building height restriction throughout the UK
- 75% lighter than conventional brick
BrickSlip cladding system
The Reason to Use Mechanically fixed
Traditional brick construction has stood the test of time and brick façades are part of our architectural heritage. But construction methods and the need for a more sustainable built environment have moved on, creating a need for brick façades that provide the appearance and durability of brick, along with the speed, ease, and consistency of a brick cladding system. Mechanically fixed brick cladding systems also provide the thermal performance benefits of a ventilated façade build-up.
Salamander is a brick cladding system that offers all these specification, buildability, sustainability, durability and long-term aesthetic advantages.
