McArthur Glen Designer Outlet

HCL Complete A UK First Fully Non-Combustible Compliant Curved Brick Slip Installation!

We are proud to announce the successful delivery of one of the first non-combustible, fully warranted, and compliant Corium Brick Slip installations using glazed Dover White wienerberger bricks at the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet in Bridgend for our repeat clients Carter Lauren Construction Ltd.

While curved Corium installations have been completed before, they’ve typically relied on combustible ply/sheathings or non-compliant designs to achieve the curve. However, working in full collaboration with Wienerberger and Taylor Maxwell, we’ve delivered an engineered adaptation of the flat-faced system ensuring compliance without compromise. Every adjustment made to accommodate the curve stayed within the certification parameters.

Though this may be a small scheme, it serves as a benchmark for future installs, demonstrating that compliant, curved, non-combustible brick slip facades are not just possible but practical.
