Justin has worked with this façade the longest, having started in the brick industry in 1995 as a young graduate at Redland Bricks. Today, he and the rest of our team pride ourselves in selling a dead-on brick first time around and have been doing this long enough to speak our minds and offer objective advice.
Remember, colour and texture are only one component in choosing the right brick for your project. Take care not to go brick blind by considering every brick out there! Instead, allow us to guide you with our large knowledge of UK and EU bricks. We even deal with innovation in brick too, offering brick slips systems and precasting bricks.
Justin has been selling Terracotta Rainscreen and Ceramic Rainscreen for more than 20 years. As a result, we know more or less all of the systems on the market and their pros and cons.
From Argeton Terracotta, a household name in the UK, to Sant Anselmo Skin, which is relatively new to the UK market. Let us guide you through them whilst considering the importance of testing.
GRC / GFRC is short for Glass Reinforced Concrete / Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete. Rieder, who extrude or cast GRC while most other manufacturers spray it, approached us eight years ago owing to our distinguished position in the architectural community.
We used to use the name Fibre C, but people often confused Fibre Concrete with Fibre Cement.
Nope, these aren't for windows. We trade glass for solid façades! That’s right. Our products are tried and tested glass rainscreen systems with a reputation for durability.
When you see a glass façade, now a common feature of many modern buildings, your initial thought might be how visually appealing it is. However, glass façades are not just for show. They offer a variety of practical advantages that make them a hard-to-beat option for many of the architects that we deal with.
Our long-term partner Imar Innometal from Spain can make almost anything in metal. No, really. They are real experts in Expanded Mesh, Perforated Metal, Embossed Metal and Folded Metal. We also sell zinc from Spain and Aurubis Copper from Finland.

Whilst this is a natural material, Mineral Composite is also a hybrid mixture of mineral stone and resin. It really is unique and offers multiple solutions for architects to express their creativity in all their facade projects.
From the choice of texture to colours or formats, all combinations are possible, with the certainty of benefiting from an exclusive material renowned for its great technical qualities. Plus, because of its high mineral content, Mineral Composite offers high resistance and durability with minimal maintenance.
Fact. Natural Stone Rainscreen does not have to be as expensive as you might think. Plus, each product has its own unique textures, colour tones and imperfections making no two stone feature walls the same.
In addition to Limestone Rainscreen, we also supply Cupaclad Slate and Pyrolave Glazed Volcanic Lava. Meanwhile, Alsecco Airtec and Lithodecor Airtec solve a great deal of difficulties too as it is a thick veneer of stone onto a lightweight backer.
Parklex Façade have established a varied range of outstanding panels for external use, which go through a manufacturing process that provides the natural wood with extraordinary properties of climatic resistance and durability, making Parklex Facade ideal for use on building exteriors.
The completed sites speak for themselves, and no re-staining or rubbing down is ever required.
