As key distributors of Gebrik, MechSlip and NaturAL-X brick cladding systems, our external brick cladding systems have been specified and used on many award-winning buildings across a wide range of sectors. We are continuing our collaboration with NBS, with all three brick cladding products being included on the NBS Source platform. Here’s what that means for architects and specifiers.

It also includes the construction specification platform NBS Chorus, which allows technical specifications to be created quickly on any device.
Why are our brick cladding systems on NBS Source?
We are committed to providing architects and specifiers with the best possible service, and having our brick cladding systems on NBS Source is a way we can achieve this. It means our brick cladding systems are more accessible to architects and specifiers; they can easily find and compare our products with other cladding systems, which will help them make informed decisions about which products to specify for their projects. We believe that this platform will help us to build stronger relationships with our customers and provide them with the products and information they need to make their projects a success. In addition, having our products on NBS Source will increase our visibility and reach within the construction industry and allow more architects and specifiers to connect with us.
Which of our brick cladding systems are included?
Architects and specifiers will have access to comprehensive product information and technical guidance for Gebrik, MechSlip, and NaturAL-X to easily compare and choose the right cladding system for their needs. Our three brick cladding products offer a range of solutions for architects and specifiers seeking a high-quality, durable and aesthetically pleasing brick cladding system. Each product is designed to meet the specific needs of different building types, from high-rise residential and offsite modular to commercial and educational buildings.
Gebrik brick cladding
Gebrik is a B-rated unique, innovative, panelised, insulating brick slip cladding system, which is suitable for use on buildings below 11m and consists of approximately 700 different natural clay brick finishes, in a range of sizes, which are cast in polyurethane and manufactured offsite.
MechSlip brick cladding
MechSlip is an A1-rated innovative, lightweight external brick slip cladding system for all buildings. It combines real bricks, cut to form grooved slips, with a tough and lightweight 6063T6-grade aluminium secondary rail support system to create a robust, natural brick facade that is weather resistant.
NaturAL-X brick cladding
NaturAL-X is a non-combustible A1-rated lightweight external brick slip cladding system for buildings, irrespective of height, that enables architects and specifiers to achieve a non-combustible, through-coloured brick façade with the inspired efficiency and versatility of a mechanically-fixed brick slip cladding system.
What information on our external brick cladding systems can be accessed?
Architects and specifiers will be able to access detailed information on our external brick cladding systems, including performance data, installation guides, and certifications, all in one place. BIM models for MechSlip and NaturAL-X are also available, and with NBS Chorus they have the ability to seamlessly add the product specification, creating specifications up to 70% quicker and with 50% less resource.
External brick cladding information all in one place
The information is essential for architects and specifiers when specifying products and having access to our external brick cladding systems will help them find the right solution for their building design and construction needs. We also have our unique UK Approved Installer Network for contractors, to add value to its supply chain and show a commitment as a responsible supplier. The installer network has been through a vetting and training process so they can install all three of our external brick cladding systems in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. We can work together to help architects and specifiers create sustainable, safe, and beautiful clay brick buildings, using innovative and intelligent solutions.
