🏡 Project Spotlight: A Complete Transformation

From a tired rendered property to a striking contemporary home, this project showcases the impact that quality brick slips can have on a building’s appearance and character.

The original property had a dated exterior with limited architectural definition. Through the use of carefully selected clay brick slips, the home has been completely reimagined, creating a timeless façade with depth, texture and kerb appeal.

The transformation demonstrates how brick slip systems can:
✔ Modernise existing properties without full reconstruction
✔ Deliver the appearance of traditional brickwork on refurbishment projects
✔ Add value and visual impact to residential developments
✔ Provide a durable, low-maintenance finish built to last

The addition of matching brick boundary walls, entrance pillars and architectural detailing has created a cohesive design that elevates the entire property.

At Matclad, we work closely with homeowners, architects and developers to bring ambitious refurbishment and new-build projects to life with high-quality brick slip solutions.

What do you think of the transformation? 👇



Before ➡️ After
A perfect example of how the right façade can completely redefine a home. 🧱✨

🧱 Quarry Tiles Are Back — And For Good Reason

Design trends come and go, but some materials never truly disappear.

We’re seeing a significant resurgence in traditional quarry tiles, with architects, interior designers and homeowners increasingly choosing them for projects that demand authenticity, durability and timeless character.

At Matclad, our range of quarry tiles combines heritage aesthetics with modern performance, making them equally suited to contemporary homes, commercial environments and restoration projects.

Why are quarry tiles making a comeback?

✔ Timeless natural appearance
✔ Exceptional durability and longevity
✔ Low maintenance and easy to clean
✔ Sustainable clay-based product
✔ Suitable for both traditional and modern interiors
✔ Available in a range of classic colours including Red, Heather Brown and Anthracite

The project shown demonstrates how quarry tiles can bring warmth and texture to a modern space while maintaining a clean, contemporary feel. The rich earthy tones work beautifully alongside natural timber, black-framed glazing and modern furnishings.

Whether you’re renovating a period property or designing a new-build home, quarry tiles offer a flooring solution that will look just as good in 30 years as it does today.

Are quarry tiles becoming the new design classic for modern interiors?

We’d love to hear your thoughts.
