Vandersanden Introduces 25-year Guarantee Against Gypsum Efflorescence Across Their Range of Bricks

Brick Manufacturer Vandersanden, recognised for its innovation, sustainability and craftmanship, now offers a 25-year guarantee against gypsum efflorescence for its facing bricks and brick slips, ensuring long-lasting sustainably attractive facades.

Vandersanden was the first company to develop a viable, large scale coating solution to their brick range, to provide superior protection against gypsum efflorescence as well as secondary protection against the effects of pollution. This innovative and environmentally sustainable process is available across a range of Vandersanden’s portfolio. The company is the only brick manufacturer to offer the 25-year guarantee.

Mathew Davies, National Specification Manager for Vandersanden comments; “This guarantee offers specifiers the peace of mind that the buildings they design will retain the beauty of their original facades. Over time bricks can discolour and lose their lustre because of wet weather, air pollution or gypsum efflorescence. The result can have a detrimental effect on a building’s visual aesthetic, compromising the architect’s design vision. Our brick guarantee, means that brickworks will not be affected by gypsum efflorescence and facades built from Vandersanden’s wide range of bricks, will stay looking good for longer.”
