Flexbrick Textile Architecture: 10 Advantages

Flexbrick textile architecture: 10 Advantages

Textile architecture has revolutionized the construction industry, offering innovative solutions that combine functionality, sustainability, and design. Flexbrick, a leader in the ceramic textile market, has developed a unique system that provides numerous benefits for architectural and civil engineering projects. Below are the top 10 advantages of using Flexbrick textile architecture.

  1. Sustainability

    The ceramics used in Flexbrick fabrics are produced with biogas, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. Additionally, the system allows for easy separation of elements, as they are dry-assembled, facilitating recycling and minimizing waste.

  2. Large format optiums

    Flexbrick offers fabrics up to 20 meters long, which reduces labor costs. This large-scale format enables quick and efficient installation, optimizing time and resources in every project.

  3. Optimal execution performance

    Thanks to crane installation, the Flexbrick system significantly speeds up the construction process. This approach integrates the finishing in a single operation, achieving flawless results in less time.

  4. Flexible tranport and storage

    Flexbrick sheets can be stored and transported folded on pallets or rolled in a spiral. This flexibility reduces logistical costs and simplifies handling at the construction site.

  5. Multi-functionality

    A single Flexbrick system can be applied to pavements, facades, and roofs, allowing for a continuous envelope with less than 10% modification of the mesh components. This simplifies both the design and execution of architectural projects.

  6. Variability and customization

    Flexbrick is a prefabricated system that offers a wide range of fabric configurations and colors. This variety enables architects and designers to create unique solutions tailored to the specific needs of each project.

  7. Innovative design

    With Flexbrick, it is possible to design continuous envelopes, construct any curvature, and achieve precise alignments quickly and cost-effectively. The combination of configurations and designs opens up endless creative possibilities.

  8. Expanding the traditional use of ceramics

    The Flexbrick system allows traditional ceramic products to reach new markets, including modern architectural projects and civil works. This significantly expands the application opportunities for this ancient material.

  9. Easy maintenance and recycling

    The innovative design of the system facilitates maintenance, repairs, and recycling. As a dry and rollable system, Flexbrick fabrics can be “collected” to simplify maintenance tasks or for replacement and recycling.

  10. Technical assistance and support

    Flexbrick not only offers an innovative product but also provides comprehensive support. The company assigns a construction director to supervise the execution of each project, ensuring optimal results and maximizing the advantages of the system.

Flexbrick has created this innovative system that consists of a stainless steel mesh mixed with terracotta tiles, using biogas in the production process in order to avoid Co2 emissions to the atmosphere and contributing in this way to the sustainability, one of the main themes of the Expo 2020 Dubai.

This project is designed by the Kuwaiti-Spanish architectural firm AGi architects.

A ceramic layer covers the ground and facades of the pavilion, making it seem as though the structure is wrapped with a terracotta carpet. The design helps emphasize on the pavilion’s public spaces and how humans circulate and interact within it.

Opportunity Pavilion offers social and cross-cultural engagement through a universal and urban platform. It is one of the three main themes of this year’s expo, alongside Sustainability and Mobility.
