brick Brick has been used for thousands of years and still provides an extremely versatile building material, providing endless design opportunities - both contemporary and by more traditional methods. More recently, architectural requirements have created a need for more innovation with regard to brick sizes, textures and a wide range of glazed finishes.

“When designing the brickwork tower at IIPSI Warwick University, we wanted to reflect the nature of the digital work carried out within. A unique curved elevation with a ‘pixelated’ effect was achieved with the use of a smooth blue facing brick. Associated Architects

“Close attention was paid to the effects of blending facing bricks from two manufacturers together. Taylor Maxwell were able to give assurances that the bricks would blend together seamlessly without issue”. Higgins Construction
/facing brick As the UK’s largest distributor, we can offer an unrivalled range of facing bricks selected from leading manufacturers throughout the UK and Europe. One of the key factors in the appearance of the building will be defined by the choice of bricks; the correct colour or texture can greatly enhance the aesthetic quality of your building. Our range satisfies our stringent quality criteria, and is produced by established manufacturers who have demonstrated their reliability and service over many years.

An unrivalled range of facing bricks selected from leading manufacturers throughout the UK and Europe. /special shaped bricks Special shaped bricks can be the missing piece in the jigsaw to knit brickwork together. These unique design elements provide the freedom to create distinctive buildings and provide an array of design solutions in clay masonry. The majority of facing bricks are available with a full range of British Standard and purpose made special shapes.
/pre-cast units TM has an unmatched reputation as a key supplier of high quality components and facades in reinforced concrete. This provides an alternative method of prefabrication using a mechanical key as opposed to epoxy bonding. Our precise understanding of the properties of facing materials means that we can integrate them into most precast elements. Typical materials include ceramics, bricks, terracotta and stone, both natural and reconstituted.

Arches: Prefabricated arches enable the creation of precise and attractive detailing. Manufactured in any brick type and in both lightweight and structural solutions.
Panels: GRP panels with brick facings replace brickwork, often used on stepped
arches
gables in housing developments. They can be quickly and easily installed in any weather conditions, providing a solution to areas that would often be problematic to achieve in more conventional construction methods.
/prefabrication chimneys
Prefabrication offers unique options for brick and masonry, allowing a shorter construction time as well as being cost effective. Pre-fabricated units can provide flexibility & control and can improve the faรงade aesthetics without losing its structural capabilities.

Chimneys: The development of lightweight brick chimneys over the past 10 years has
panels
led to several different ways of achieving a traditional street scene without the need for traditionally constructing chimneys. Cut & Bond: We can provide a range of British Standard and non-standard specials, as both cut & bonded and refaced bricks. These can be manufactured quickly and efficiently using the very latest techniques, often eliminating the extended delivery periods associated with manufactured specials.

/cast stone Cast stone is available in both semi dry and wet cast products from all of the major producers of cast stone in the UK. Wet cast reconstructed stone units are manufactured using high grade aggregates and cement to achieve a minimum technical requirement with a high early strength. The semi dry cast stone production process is one method of manufacturing bespoke cast stone masonry elements. Using timber, steel or fibreglass moulds, the semi dry material is subjected to high compaction, resulting in a dense, durable, monolithic product once cured. This enables us to provide a service to accommodate both your aesthetic and economic needs. All units are designed to maximise their performance in relation to weathering, structural integrity and site handling, without compromising on its detailing or the stone’s aesthetic requirements.

framing systems Framing systems are an integral part of TM’s cladding portfolio. There are a variety of systems, each one offering different benefits. There are basic systems, where full technical support can be provided to calculate the safest and most economical bracket spacings to support a façade. They are compatible with most common façade finishes, including stone, metal, decorative boarding, high pressured laminates, cement based sheets, aluminium composite panels, render systems and timber. These adjustable universal brackets are made from 5251 structural grade aluminium, which come complete with an isolation clip which is suitable for most building substrates. On-site pull out tests by trained technicians are available from the relevant manufacturer. In some situations a more complex framing system is required to meet a design challenge. In this instance an alternative system can be provided to overcome the most complex of rainscreen designs. Above all it must take into account the project environment’s specific static requirements and comply with the relevant local construction regulations and standards. TM also provide a comprehensive accessory range that suits most major 6,8 & 10mm cladding panels. Accessories include colour matched trims in PVC or aluminium, EPDM gaskets, shadow line strips, colour matched stainless screws and rivets, custom trims and flashing facilities.

“The end result speaks for itself - subtly curving brick facades, with variegated finishes that change with the light contributing to a successful build, and a delighted client.� Sheppard Robson

brick cladding The use of brick cladding is increasing for many reasons. It offers a facing brick finish for walls where a cladding system is required rather than traditional masonry. It can be used as a lightweight solution where traditional brickwork is not viable and is perfect for re-cladding existing buildings. TM can provide systems which are light weight and can offer cost savings over traditional construction methods. Building with brick cladding can be up to three times faster than with traditional brickwork. Brick cladding can be flexible, functional, imaginative and is available in an extensive colour and texture range.

terracotta rainscreen Terracotta rainscreen cladding combines the proven durability and natural beauty of clay with a simple support structure. This enables the designer freedom of expression and the builder a simple and quick installation process. The tiles are extruded to produce plain or grooved twin-skin tiles and baguettes in a range of thirteen natural finishes, which can also be glazed. The natural beauty and symmetry of the faรงade is created by contrasting the smooth faced tile with the precise joint. Whether as the main theme cladding or as a feature, the clean lines and aesthetic qualities can be effectively designed in conjunction with the cladding components of glazing, curtain walling.
