Exploring the practical benefits of Certus™

At ACS, we understand that the quality and durability of materials are crucial for successful construction projects, and Certus™ offers key features designed to meet these high standards. 

• 60-Year Design Life: Engineered for long-term performance, giving you confidence in its durability. 

• A1 Non-Combustible: The system is A1 non-combustible, ensuring maximum safety.  

• Adhesive-Free: The system is 100% resin and adhesive free, utilising mechanical fixation for each brick-slip. 

• Lightweight & Handleable: Panels are lightweight (under 15kg), making them easy to handle and install. 

Our panels utilise standard clay facing bricks (F2 durability), mechanically fixed to a strong austenitic stainless steel carrier. This allows for easy installation on a standard rainscreen framing system without the need for resins or adhesives, enhancing durability. Certus™ features Hilti brackets and T-rails for a reliable installation, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity. 

Aesthetics & Design Versatility 

With Certus™, you can explore an extensive range of bond patterns and brick features, pushing the boundaries of creativity. It integrates seamlessly with traditional masonry, plus, with no height restrictions, Certus™ offers endless possibilities for all types of applications. 

• Diverse bond patterns and customisable brick features 

• Seamless integration with traditional masonry 

• No height restrictions—ideal for large façades and detailed panels 

It’s lightweight, efficient design makes it ideal for various applications including: 

• Infill Panels: Ideal for blind windows, setback brick panels, curtain walls, and angled squint panels, maintaining insulation and U-values in large masonry façades. 

• Balconies: Reduces weight and structural load, providing aesthetic continuity with the main façade. 

• Soffits: Simplifies installation for window heads, balconies, and undercrofts with a lightweight design.
