Unique characteristics

The Elastolith brick slips have a natural look. In addition, the Elastolith system has unique properties, such as low weight and thickness, fast and easy applying, water-repellent and vapour permeable and lasting elasticity. This makes it the perfect façade finish for external wall insulation systems and prefabricated façade elements.

Increasing the sustainability of existing buildings

The energy consumption of homes and other buildings must be reduced. Wall insulation systems are efficient solutions to improve the insulation of existing buildings. In renovation projects, wall insulation systems are applied directly to the existing façade. The mineral brick slips serve as the final finish of wall insulation systems.

Elastolith brick slips will preserve the authentic look of buildings. Another option is long format brick slips or Elastolith Façade Design to give buildings and ultimately the neighbourhood a completely new look.

Efficient and sustainable construction

For new buildings, an exterior wall insulation system is an efficient way of building and insulating. Compared to traditional building methods, such as masonry walls, the system of mineral flat facing bricks is slimmer and considerably lighter and therefore more sustainable. In addition, applying is faster, which results in lower construction costs.

Prefabricated construction has the future

The use of prefabricated façade elements in construction is increasing. Compared to traditional construction, prefabricated construction has many advantages, such as conditioned working conditions, consistent quality, fast construction time, lower failure costs and minimal inconvenience to residents during renovations. Elastolith Brick slips are the ideal façade finish to provide prefab elements with an authentic masonry appearance. This is partly due to their low weight and thickness and the lasting elasticity of the Elastolith system. Due to this permanent elasticity, the system has a large tolerance for slight movements in prefabricated timber frames, steel frames or sandwich elements, even after years. The film on the right shows the mechanical application of brick slips on prefab walls.

Solid substrates

The Elastolith system can be applied to almost any solid and load-bearing substrate. Examples include exterior wall insulation systems, ventilated rainscreen systems, fibre-reinforced polyester, concrete and stony or plaster substrates. Exterior wall insulation systems guarantee a high insulation value of a wall. In this application, brick slips are applied to the basecoat. For ventilated systems, the brick slips are applied to plaster or cementitious plates. It is also possible to apply brick slips directly to stony or plaster substrates. In some cases, the substrate must first be levelled and/or pretreated.
