Daniel Robertson Scott System Brick Snaps™ - the revolutionary way to integrally cast thin brick into concrete panels
Revolutionising multi-storied brick facades, Robertson thin clay bricks can now be integrally cast into concrete panels utilising the Scott System Brick Snaps™ system. Thin clay bricks are delivered in individual plastic frames. These frames are “snapped” together on the form bed. After reinforcing has been placed, concrete is then poured over the back of the thin brick. When the panel is erected, the plastic snaps are stripped from the face. The brick faces are treated to allow easy removal of any concrete leakage so cleaning is simple and easy.
H2o architects, Collingwood, Victoria specified Daniel Robertson Scott System Brick Snaps™ façade system for the Deakin University, Central Precinct, East Building in Burwood, Victoria.
H2o architects cite the graphic impact as a primary feature of the brick panelled system. Additional benefits observed by H2o architects include:
- Increased speed of construction using precast concrete’s ease of fabrication, erection and modularity
- Improved construction quality, speed and OH&S conditions
- Improved and sustainable thermal performance
- Double sided finish requires no scaffolding or boom cranes for finishing work
- No packaging or elaborate finishes means minimum construction waste
- Accesses the optimal embodied energy characteristics of concrete
