Two Storey SlickBrick™ Veneer Downloads: 

The SlickBrick™ Two Storey Veneer System is a 70 mm or 90 mm plaster finished natural clay brick veneer external wall cladding system for two storey residential and light commercial type buildings where domestic construction techniques are used.

The SlickBrick™ Two Storey Veneer System allows brick veneer cladding to be erected to a height greater than that specified by NZS 3604 by incorporating a slip joint system that effectively structurally separates the veneer at an intermediate height. This separation then allows the top and bottom panels to move independently should a major earthquake event occur, thereby minimising the likelihood of structural damage to the veneer.

The Technical Specification download below gives guidance to designers on how to construct two Storey Veneer houses without having to consult a structural engineer for a specific design.
