In recent years, the mechanical installation system for brick façades has gained significant popularity among architects and project developers. By separating the load of the brick façade from the building’s main wall, this method enables a dry, engineered cladding system that offers structural efficiency, thermal performance, and long-term durability.
Structurally Independent and Safer
Unlike traditional mortar-based brick installation, the mechanical system uses brackets and metal plates to create a secondary structure. This framework transfers the dead load of the bricks to reliable structural points—such as beams or reinforced backing panels—removing excessive stress from the main wall. The result is less risk of cracking, settlement, or façade detachment.
Enhanced Thermal and Moisture Performance
One of the key advantages of this system is the ability to insert insulation layers—thermal, acoustic, and moisture-resistant—between the brick façade and the wall. This is especially important in hot or humid climates like the Gulf region, helping to reduce energy consumption and improve indoor comfort.
Perfect Alignment and Design Flexibility
Vertical steel profiles (such as box sections, channels, or pipes) are used to stabilize the brickwork and resist lateral forces such as wind or mild seismic movements. These elements ensure precise alignment and even spacing, enabling flawless and consistent façade finishes. Architects can explore more creative and complex designs without the limitations of traditional methods.
Repairability and Long-Term Maintenance
Another major advantage of mechanical cladding systems is the ability to remove, repair, or replace sections of the brick façade without disrupting the entire structure. This makes it ideal for long-term projects or commercial buildings where easy maintenance is a top priority.
