Design quality, technical innovation and a beautiful aesthetic. The attributes of brick as a material that can transform and enhance building design are the central theme of a hugely popular webinar series from Vandersanden, now returning for a second season, beginning on 25th November 2020.

“Over 1,000 architects, designers, specifiers registered our Summer Series of brick webinars,” comments Darren White, UK Sales Director at Vandersanden. “Many more wanted to join but missed out. That’s why, we’re repeating the Series to give more architects and designers the chance to learn about how bricks are changing, the innovations behind their production and the many advantages this timeless material can bring to a scheme.”

The webinar series will commence as follows:

Wednesday 25th November: “The Brick: From The Fundamentals to Inspired Design” will cover the fundamentals of brick, and then provide valuable insights on how to select the right brick for a particular project or application, looking at design considerations and exploring the huge range of brick colours, textures and sizes now available on the market.

Wednesday 2nd December: “The Brick: Special Techniques and Innovations” webinar will take a deeper look at the intricacies of brick production as well as the multitude of brick types available, including handform, water-struck, wire-cut and brick slips.

Wednesday 9th December: “How to Avoid Brick Stains and Efflorescence?”, aims to demonstrate to architects and specifiers how the appearance of brickwork can be protected without costly cleaning and maintenance regimes. The webinar will examine how and when brickwork damage occurs and the steps that can be taken to prevent it.

Delivered by Vandersanden UK’s, National Specification Manager, Mathew Davies, the ‘Vandersanden Inspiration Series’ of webinars are set to unlock the architect’s imagination, allowing the company to share its expertise, give insight into its sustainability credentials and build awareness for its exceptional manufacturing quality established for almost a century.
