Brickslip Support System
The system is designed to combine natural brick finishes with modern methods of construction using rainscreen support systems.
Suitable as a lightweight and cost effective option compared to the traditional brick build-up.
The system uses EVT helping hand brackets with a combination of vertical T & L profiles, vertical centres to be calculated by RJ facades technical department.
Depending on the weight of the brick system being hung from the EVT substructure and the wind loading acting ion the façade, box section may be required.
Brickslip manufacturers have there own unique horizontal profile designed to support the bricks tiles.
