Flexbrick
About
FLEXBRICK® was born of an alliance forged between two highly innovative companies, Cerámica Malpesa and Piera Ecocerámica. Using an invention by 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. 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.
