 CHARACTERISTICS
Reason of Shoosing
This type of cladding offers itself to a number of different architectural
design categories from traditional to minimalist to ultra modern.
Uses
-Residential Homes.
-Commercial Buildings.
-Cultural and Educational Institutions.
Aesthetics
Bricks can be laid in many patterns, multi-colored and in
different sizes to add more aesthetic appeal.
Durability
Resistance to freeze/thaw action is the major characteristic of a
brick’s durability and it varies across the range of clay bricks
Versatility
-can be tailored to suit various architectural styles, from
contemporary to traditional.
Cost
-Varies depending type , Board size, Finishes,Installation and labour.
Maintenance
Less maintenance because it provides an external barrier for
permanent protection, insulation, security and sound resistance

INSTALLATION METHOD & ACCESSORIES
STEP 1- PLAN THE LAYOUT OF CLADDING Before we begin to attach any brick,
we have to determine where to attach it. We should also ensure that the wall can
carry the weight of the brick cladding.
STEP 2- LAYING THE BRICK ON SIDE OF WALLStart by applying small amount of
adhesive of about *" thick on back of full brick and then press it firmly. Then
leave *" space on all sides of brick, Continue doing this above the brick to cover
the whole space
STEP 3- MIX AND LAY MORTAR Mix the mortar and use trowel to layer the mortar
between each joint that separate the bricks and be sure not to stick out the
mortar between two bricks.
STEP 4- CLEAN THE BRICK CLADDING Before the mortar dries, use a wet sponge
to clean off remaining mortar.

Insulation
-Thermal
Brick cladding insulation will improve temperature regulation, which in
turn will result in long-term energy savings.
-Acoustic
It traps heat and ensures that sound does not leak , It’s
especially useful for properties located in urban areas
-Moisture
Brick cladding can repel water and dripping, so water can't
reach the interior framing
-Shock Proofing
Resistant because it can absorb impacts such as
strong winds or collisions with objects

 Conclusion

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Fire resistant. Color fading.

Reduction of waste.
Reduced on-site labour costs.
Quicker building weather tightness.
Less maintenance.
Longevity.
They can generally deform due to
shrinkage at hot temperatures.
Blowing faces due to their lack of
resistance to frost.
