Porcelain stone cladding
Our porcelain stone cladding systems offer A1 fire-rated, non-combustible solutions with low water absorption and freeze-thaw resistance. These durable panels provide sustainable, maintenance-free exteriors available in customizable finishes. Ideal for high-rise buildings and commercial developments requiring both aesthetic appeal and technical performance.
Natural stone cladding
Natural stone cladding solutions combine timeless aesthetics with modern engineering. Our systems provide UV resistance, thermal performance, and durability across various stone types. Suitable for both heritage projects and contemporary architecture requiring authentic material finishes.
Terracotta facades
Terracotta facade systems offer A1 fire-rated, environmentally friendly cladding with natural warmth and texture. Our extruded terracotta panels provide non-combustible, weather-resistant solutions available in multiple colourways for both traditional and modern architectural applications.
Unitised systems
Unitised facade systems streamline construction with factory-assembled panels incorporating SureClad and BrickClad technologies. These systems enhance buildability and on-site safety while maintaining precision tolerances through controlled manufacturing processes in our UK facilities.
Brick cladding
BrickClad systems combine traditional aesthetics with modern installation methods using genuine clay bricks. Available in Rustic and Saxony profiles, these ventilated brick slips offer fire-safe, low-maintenance solutions with improved installation efficiency compared to conventional brickwork.
