    A natural-looking masonry facade cladding, Smartbric is Fairview’s innovative brick system offering grouted traditional brick slips or modern Rapid mortar-less alternatives. Forget about mess and costly pointing, Smartbric installation works off a universal rainscreen track or rail system and uses an interlocking brick tile profile and a ‘shadow’ groove to create a shadow line mortar effect. This natural cladding system improves a building’s energy efficiency and delivers superior weatherproofing and ventilation in expedited timeframes.  Available in various colours and made in Australia using local clay (contemporary imported colours are also on offer).

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is natural cladding?

    Natural cladding refers to exterior wall or façade materials derived from organic or raw sources, such as terracotta, brick or cement. These materials undergo minimal processing and retain their original characteristics, adding an authentic biophilic element to a build.

    What is the best type of natural cladding?

    The best type of natural cladding depends on your building’s practical requirements and aesthetic goals. If you require natural-looking, affordable rainscreen cladding, we recommend Smartbric. If you’re after exceptionally durable and strong panels that will develop a lovely patina over time, we recommend Genesis. If you want earthy, warm cladding panels that are cost-effective, we suggest Clayton Terracotta.

    How do you install exterior wall cladding?

    Each natural cladding product comes as a full facade system with a comprehensive installation guide. Please check our facade resources directory to download the installation guides.

    Is natural cladding suitable for large buildings?

    Yes, all Fairview natural cladding systems are suitable for type A, B and C constructions. Terracotta, brick and fibre cement are popular choices for large-scale builds with high foot traffic including schools, hospitals and community buildings.
