<p>A brick slip cladding panel is provided for fastening a support structure such as a wall, to provide the appearance of a brick wall. The panel comprises brick slips (6) fixed to a backing layer, wherein the backing layer comprises a foam layer (1) having a front face and a back face and a metal frame (2) disposed adjacent the fort face of the foam layer(1). The metal frame (2) comprises spaced, parallel, horizontal wires (2a) for supporting a row of brick slips (6), and non-horizontal wires (2b) fixed to the horizontal wires (2a) for supporting the horizontal wires (2a) and maintaining the horizontal wires (2a) in spaced, parallel orientation. The foam layer (1) comprises non-horizontal channels (1e) in the front face of the foam layer(1) for accommodating the non-horizontal wires (2b) therein. The horizontal wires (2a) protrude at least partially from the front face of the foam layer (1), and the non-horizontal wires (2b) are accommodated in the channels (1e) so as not to protrude from the front face of the foam layer (1). The metal frame (2) is fastenable to the support structure through the foam layer, for example with fasteners (3). Pointing mortar (5) may be applied in the grooves between adjacent brick slips (6).</p> |
