The Barracuda system supports brick slips with a standard thickness of 40mm, making it compatible with a diverse range of bricks compliant with BS EN 771. While accommodating various brick types, including fragile materials, bricks must be cut according to James & Taylor’s precise specifications (drawings CU-B-101 to CU-B-104RH-R).

Compatible with Most Brick Profiles
The Barracuda Brick Slip System accommodates almost every brick profile.
Durable, Sustainable Material
Crafted entirely from
stainless steel, the Barracuda system offers superior durability and
sustainability compared to aluminium-based alternatives. Stainless
steel’s inherent corrosion resistance eliminates the need for additional
protective coatings, significantly reducing environmental impact.
Lower Embodied Carbon
Stainless
steel production involves considerably less embodied energy than
aluminium extraction, particularly during initial manufacturing phases.
Additionally, stainless steel’s recyclability saves approximately 70% of
the energy compared to primary production, further reducing its
environmental footprint.
Choose Barracuda for a robust, efficient, and environmentally conscious cladding solution.
