Flexbrick

With FLEXBRICK® it is possible to achieve continuous surfaces, from floors to ceilings and from façades to roofs. This particularity allows different applications to be obtained in the same construction with the same ceramic element and, therefore, to maintain continuity of colour and texture throughout the building.

FLEXBRICK was born of an alliance forged between two highly innovative companies, Cerámica Malpesa and Piera Ecocerámica. Using an invention by Architect and University professor Vicente Sarrablo, their objective was to create a revolutionary, flexible construction system that could easily be adapted to cover all kinds of architectural surfaces in a wide variety of spaces. It was envisaged as a kind of skin that would dress buildings.

“Dressing architecture”

The advantage of this system lies in combining a material that has been traditionally used for millennia like ceramic with stainless steel, creating a novel format called “ceramic textile”, which is superior to manual, piece-by-piece installation. This is a unique combination of materials that evolves every day and can even successfully incorporate other materials like wood, bamboo, glass, steel, stone, marble, and glazed ceramics, among others. It is a large-scale system made up of small pieces, which allows large sheets to be installed in a very short period of time. As an additional perk, the individual pieces can be easily replaced.

Applications

The innovative FLEXBRICK® system can be applied to a wide variety of sectors, such as residential buildings, offices, and other facilities: hospitals, hotels, car parks, shopping centers, educational facilities, etc. With FLEXBRICK®, we can create continuous surfaces that guide the eye harmoniously from pavements to ceilings or facades to roofs. This particular feature allows for this same ceramic material to have different applications within the same construction project, therefore allowing for the color and texture to be continued throughout the entire building site.
