Facing brick is a material with its own identity, which in recent decades has evolved, giving rise to innovative systems for facades.

Versatile solutions that adapt to each type of building, helping to extend its useful life and with little or no maintenance, resulting in an improvement in the comfort and well-being of the tenants of the homes or users of the buildings, and reaching the standards most demanding energy efficiency.

The Gremi de Rajolers de la Comunitat Valenciana and Hispalyt claim from the facadescaravista.es platform the qualities of facing brick which, thanks to its versatility, allows for the creation of any type of facade with the best quality-price ratio.

For the professional who wants to know in detail the characteristics and possibilities of this ecosystem, the technical dossier "Types of exposed brick facades" is available for direct download, which develops and analyzes 9 different systems.
Industrialized facades
Industrialized exposed brick facades arise to respond to the demand of the construction sector to optimize the deadlines and costs associated with the execution of projects.

These systems are arranged on the outside of the structure like a skin, fixing the structure of the building and allowing continuity of the thermal insulation in the building envelope.

Industrialized exposed brick facades are characterized by allowing efficient, high-quality, more economical, quick, and simple construction with an exposed ceramic tile finish. In addition, they are valid for all types of buildings: industrial, residential, etc.

Available solutions: exterior thermal insulation system with Termoklinker ceramic finish; Flexbrick ceramic fabrics, and Insupanel, MAPS, and Murobrick prefabricated panels.

Masonry facades (mortar and dry solutions)
Facing brick facades is an architectural option that has endured throughout history, providing beauty and character to buildings of all types. From old historic structures to modern contemporary designs.

The wide range of colors, textures, and sizes of bricks allows great versatility in the design of the facades. Likewise, the different construction techniques make it possible to create facades that adapt to the needs of each project.

In addition to their distinctive aesthetic, exposed brick facades offer several practical advantages. Brick is a durable and resistant material, capable of withstanding inclement weather and the passage of time. Its ability to regulate heat and humidity, as well as its high fire resistance, make it an efficient and functional choice.

Available solutions: confined, self-supporting, and ventilated through Structura GHAS, IRIS, and Cablebrick.

In the technical dossier "Types of exposed brick facade" the professional will be able to learn about the application of each of these 9 systems as well as the elements that compose them, and advantages over other solutions in terms of sustainability, thermal and acoustic behavior, durability and design possibilities.

Additionally, at facadescaravista.es you can consult a gallery of images of emblematic projects, download the library of BIM objects and materials for Revit, the Environmental Product Declarations, and the sheets for the BREEAM, LEED, and GREEN certification, as well as information on the impact positive of facing brick in EECN and Passivhaus projects.

"Face facades: complete ecosystem"
The Gremi de Rajolers of the Valencian Community developed the campaign “Faced façades: complete ecosystem” with the collaboration of the Generalitat Valenciana through the INENTI Project, whose objective is to show the benefits and advantages of facing ceramic brick facades. other solutions.
