Certificate type
Corium system comprising interlocking steel backing sections (rails) which are profiled to allow fired clay brick tiles to be clipped in, providing a mechanical fix.
Application
Suitable for use as a protective/decorative cladding over SFS, concrete, timber frame and masonry substrate walls. Can also be used with insulated panel systems and for off-site fabrication. Corium can be installed horizontally or vertically and used overhead to create brick soffits and ceilings.
Description
The Corium system comprises interlocking steel backing sections (rails) which are profiled to allow fired clay brick tiles to be clipped in, providing a mechanical fix. The vertical and horizontal joints between the tiles are pointed with mortar to provide a brickwork finish.
Features and benefits:
- Fast track construction.
- Lightweight - Corium has a system weight of approximately 68 kg/m² (standard brick tiles, steel backing rails and mortar).
- Interlocking steel backing rails.
- Mechanically fixed brick tiles.
- Extensive range of colours, sizes, textures and finishes.
- Purpose made brick tiles means less raw material usage and less waste.
- Installation less weather dependent than traditional brickwork.
- Can be installed from MEWPs and mast climbers, reducing the need for scaffolding.
- BBA certified.
- Tested to CWCT standards.
- BS 8414 test data available.
Components:
- Backing rails:
- The steel backing rails are profiled to suit the brickwork coursing height and are supplied in 2.4 m lengths. Corium rails are available in 0.7mm thick Magnelis® metallic coated steel (ZM310 and ZM430) or 0.55 mm-thick stainless steel (grades 304 and 316).
- Brick tiles:
- Standard brick tiles.
- Large format brick tiles.
- Projecting bricks tiles.
- Header tiles.
- Corner tiles.
- Soldier tiles.
- Soffit return tiles.
- Air brick tiles.

Fasteners | Manufacturer guidanceAustenitic stainless steel fasteners with integral sealing washer (EPDM or similar) under the head should be specified to suit the support material to which Corium is being fixed. Fasteners should be minimum of 5.5 x 25 mm (diameter x length) with an 8 mm hexagonal head. The installer should seek approval of the fastener selection from the project engineer. |
Secondary support structure | Interlocking steel backing sections.Manufacturer guidanceThe system transfers its self-weight and design wind loads through the supporting sub-frame to the substrate wall. The substrate wall and supporting subframe must be capable of resisting the associated loads. |
Cavity fire barriers | |
Horizontal | Manufacturer guidanceBoth horizontal and vertical cavity fire barriers should be installed in the rainscreen cavity zone to comply with building and statutory regulations. The cavity fire barriers must be designed and tested for use in a rainscreen system and be fully passive and non-combustible. The number and location of the cavity fire barriers is determined by the respective design teams and their fire consultants on an individual project basis. |
