RapidClad — Stone & Brick Cladding System
The fastest way to renovate your home
RapidClad is a cultured concrete stone and brick cladding system. Rails fix to the wall, slips clip into place and the joints are pointed, so a stone or brick finish goes up at 30–40 m² a day.

How it works
Fix it. Clip it. Point it.
I
Fix it
Rails are fixed to the prepared wall, already set to your course height. Every line is level before a single slip goes on.
II
Clip it
Cultured concrete stone or brick slips clip into the rails. Each one is held mechanically, so there’s no bedding mortar to wait on.
III
Point it
Joints are pointed for the look of a traditionally built wall. Then you move on to the next one.
Speed
30–40 m² a day, not 4–8
Traditional stonemasonry lays a few square metres a day. RapidClad’s rails set every course in advance, so slips clip straight on — up to ten times the area in the same day.
| Measure | Traditional stonemasonry | RapidClad |
|---|---|---|
| Typical installation rate | 4–8 m² a day | 30–40 m² a day |
| A 100 m² wall | 13–25 working days | 3–4 working days |
| Mortar | Bedding mortar for every stone, then pointing | Pointing only |
| Method | Laid and levelled course by course | Fix it, clip it, point it |
Typical RapidClad installation rates. Actual rates depend on access, substrate, openings and finish.
