Smartbric | Brick Ventilated Façade System

By Fairview
Website

Smartbric™ by Fairview is an innovative ventilated rainscreen Brick Façade System which ingeniously incorporates the option of using either a grouted Classic brick facing or a modern Rapid mortar-less brick facing with a unique universal mounting track or rail option to deliver a versatile natural looking masonry façade solution.

The system has been tested to AS4284 and developed for quick, smart and simple installation by skilled tradesmen as well as traditional bricklayers. Made using vitrified clay, Smartbric™ allows the designer to achieve a realistic brick look without the shortcomings or restraints of traditional brickwork when it comes to weight, limited space or where traditional brick construction is not economically viable.

Smartbric brick facings are available in a range of colours and styles from Australian made bricks using locally sourced clay created in traditional coalfired downdraft kilns; imported contemporary brick facings made using modern production methods to produce a high-quality vitrified product; and concrete masonry bricks made with local raw materials and the latest pressing technology.

Performance

The Smartbric System has been tested to AS4284 and developed for quick, smart and simple installation by skilled tradesmen rather than only a traditionally specialised bricklayer. ​

​The choice between a grouted or mortarless shadow look provides design flexibility and aesthetic fluidity. 

Smartbric meets the necessary requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) of Australia, is durable, weather resistant, non-combustible and structurally sound for its intended applications, being residential medium density buildings and fit outs.

KEY BENEFITS: 

NON-COMBUSTIBLE: Smartbric units are made from vitrified clay or concrete and are inherently non-combustible. Each clay brick is individually tested during the firing process. 

DESIGN FLEXIBLITY: Available in a range of striking colours, both traditional and contemporary brick finishings, the universal Smartbric Track and Rail System allows for a mix and match approach, which provides a highly customisable solution and aesthetic fluidity. 

EXPRESS INSTALLATION: Smartbric utilises a unique eco-system design of the sub-system which allows for a simple and intuitive installation.

LOW MAINTENANCE: The Smartbric Rainscreen Façade System requires low to no maintenance, maintaining its aesthetic appearance for many decades. In the case of a necessary brick facing exchange or replacement, this is easy to do with Smartbric Rapid. 

DURABILITY ASSURANCE: Smartbric's lifetime is extended due to the ventilated rainscreen's internal air cavity which remains dry and removes condensation, precipitation and atmospheric moisture in a natural way, keeping the material dry and improves durability. 

RELIABLE: Trusted supplier with product in stock means you can be confident in your timeframes, with deadlines met and the Fairview service throughout the process.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Smartbric is developed in compliance with all requirements for environmental safety and is made from natural raw or high content recycled materials. The rainscreen system additionally favours both thermal control and energy saving of the building.
