Certus is a fully mechanically-fixed clay brick slip façade system, engineered to exceed the highest fire safety and durability standards. Developed post-Grenfell with input from contractors, architects and regulators, it’s a new methodology rooted in real-world insight. Made from high-grade stainless steel and freeze–thaw-resistant clay bricks it's A1 non-combustible with 60-year design life. Factory-finished panels – including corners, reveals, soffits and features – cut onsite, improve consistency and accelerate programmes; on one major project, it reduced façade timelines 40%.
•Aesthetics: Traditional clay brick-look with custom textures, tones and curved forms
•Innovation: Patented mechanical interlock,no adhesives
•Practicality: No cutting or pointing; less waste
•Ergonomics: Quick install with smaller, less specialised teams

•Impact: Proven to cut construction times, one scheme saw façade delivery reduced from 42 to 25 weeks
•Integration: Works with rainscreens, cavity barriers and insulation
•Ecological: 100% recyclable 60% renewable energy
•Enhancement: Combines brick aesthetics with offsite assurance
