Fixing and Installation

Corium is a system designed for adaptability and performance. The system is composed of fired clay extruded brick tiles which are clipped into longitudinally interlocking steel backing sections. The vertical and horizontal joints between the tiles are pointed with Parex (Sika) Historic Mortar KL.

The steel backing sections are profiled to suit the brickwork coursing height, mounted horizontally or vertically and then mechanically fixed to the supporting subframe. The brick slips are then clipped into place ensuring that consistent horizontal joints are achieved, whilst vertical joint spacing can be adjusted to suit design requirements. Once tiles are installed, mortar is applied using a pump system developed specifically to suit the characteristics of the brick cladding system.
