01 / Product overview

Contemporary Nordic brick-clad building using a panelised façade system.

SmartGRC® Brick Lining Panel

SmartGRC® uses pre-formed channels to guide brick-slip placement, reducing layout work and helping installers maintain consistent coursing. The cement-based GRC panel is reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibres and designed for mechanical fixing to a supporting metal framework.

05 / Assurance

Standards and specification notes

Technical credibility depends on current documents and the performance of the complete installed system.

Reaction to fire

A1 classification reported to TS EN 13501-1. Its scope is limited to products of the same formulation, type, density and name as those covered by the report. Confirm applicability to the supplied panel before specification.

System verification

Brick-slip, adhesive, fixing, subframe and weathering requirements must be confirmed as a complete system.

06 / Guidance

Frequently asked questions

01How are brick slips fixed?

Use a compatible cement-based brick-slip adhesive to position slips within the formed channels.

02How is the panel installed?

Panels are screwed directly to a supporting metal framework. Final fixing and subframe design require current system information.

03How is SmartGRC cut?

The current product guidance specifies a diamond-headed spiral saw.

04How are joint gaps filled?

Mastic or paste is listed for joint gaps. Confirm compatibility with the brick-slip adhesive, weathering design and expected movement.
