A smarter mechanical brick slip cladding system for modern architecture.
At MBS Facades, we are proud to introduce OCCAM, a next-generation mechanical brick slip system developed in collaboration with architects, engineers and installers. Designed as a fully accredited rainscreen cladding solution, OCCAM addresses the limitations of traditional brick slip systems, delivering greater flexibility, performance and installation efficiency for contemporary façade design.
The OCCAM system allows architects and contractors to create striking façades without compromise. Its mechanically fixed brick slips ensure consistent alignment and eliminate rattling or shifting. The system’s flat-back carrier trays allow seamless integration with cavity barriers and firestop detailing, avoiding the issues caused by traditional ridged rails. OCCAM is ideal for high-rise, low-rise and complex façade applications where compliance, speed of installation and design flexibility are critical.
Installation is streamlined thanks to the three-course tray format, which accelerates the build process compared to single-course rails. Whether working on high-rise towers or low-rise developments, OCCAM provides a reliable, fast and fully accredited brick slip cladding system.
Whether your project calls for bricks or clay tiles, OCCAM’s system adapts to satisfy design intent and budget constraints. The system functions as a rainscreen cladding solution, protecting buildings from the elements while allowing creative freedom in façade composition.
By combining engineering precision with aesthetic versatility, OCCAM allows designers to specify materials confidently, knowing the system will deliver a seamless finish. Its compatibility with a wide range of products makes it ideal for projects requiring a distinctive visual identity or bespoke architectural expression. For projects incorporating sustainable design features, solutions such as HYVERT.AI living wall systems can be specified alongside OCCAM to enhance environmental performance.
MBS Facades actively support OCCAM specifications nationwide. We offer CPD sessions, Lunch & Learn events, or design-led introductions to our full façade portfolio, including architectural aluminium, perforated panels, terracotta, stone and through-wall products.
