Smartbric Brick Slip Cladding System

No, you don't need to be a bricklayer or have other specialised skills to install Smartbric.

Yes. They are real bricks but approximately 1/4 the thickness of a traditional brick.

No. The brickslips create a continuous external barrier with overlapping joints, designed to drain water away from the cavity that lies behind the bricks. Smartbric is a rainscreen system with flexible membrane which is designed to reduce water ingress and facilitate better airflow behind the façade - thus provides superior waterproofing, condensation control, long term durability and thermal efficiency. 

Whilst generally installed horizontally, Smartbric can also be installed vertically or at an inclination.  

Allows for variable brick height, allows greater flexibility and can accommodate units of different sizes (variable gauge). Suitable for use in more corrosive environments. 

Some movement can be expected and as with most bricks, facings experience dimensional change due to changes in moisture and temperature. To allow for this movement and to accommodate manufacturing tolerances, facings should be allowed some ability to move without compromising ease of installation and engagement with track/rail.

Smartbric thickness is 25mm compared to 110mm for a traditional brick.  We can also get them done up to 55mm in thickness. In terms of width and height we adopt the common Australian brick size of 230mm (L) x 76mm (H). Note that the Rapid has an overall length of 240mm (230mm + 10mm recessed perpend joint). Custom size brick are also possible and can be installed using the variable gauge aluminium rail system. Cladding zone is 68mm, however a shallower top hat can be used to reduce the assembly thickness. 

Pricing varies depending on type of facing and framing system used. Pricing is typically quoted for brick facings and track/rail excluding mortar grouting. Please contact us for  a formal quote for your project.

The Smartbric Blended Colour Range is a new collection of 8 blended brick colours designed to bring a more natural, traditional brick aesthetic to the Smartbric rainscreen façade system. Each colour features subtle tonal variation within every brick, creating the depth and movement you'd expect from traditional brick — with all the performance and installation benefits of the Smartbric system.

The Blended Range includes 8 colours: Ironstone Red Blend, Wheatfield Blend, Urban Charcoal Blend, Limestone Mist Blend, Shadow Slate Blend, Weathered Heritage Blend, Copperfield Blend, and Ironbark Brown Blend. Request a sample pack to see and feel the difference for yourself. 

Yes. The blended range offers design flexibility, allowing you to adjust the ratio of light to dark tones to suit your project's aesthetic. Speak with our team to discuss the options available for your specific colour selection.
