Finish

Features a rugged, tactile surface with earthy tones that shift subtly under natural desert sunlight. The matte finish minimizes glare while highlighting natural clay variations.

Maintenance

Frequently asked questions

Can these tiles be used for high-rise exterior cladding in Dubai?
Yes, the Catawiki Brick Tile is specifically designed for exterior brick cladding in the UAE. Its 12mm thickness and high-density composition make it resistant to thermal expansion and UV exposure. When installed with high-grade polymer-modified adhesives and appropriate movement joints, it provides a secure and permanent facade brick finish for both low-rise and high-rise structures, meeting local safety and durability standards.
What is the typical lead time for large-scale projects in the GCC?
At IHGIND, we leverage our 33,000 sqm Jebel Ali facility to manage significant inventory and logistics. Standard lead times for the Prastara brick series typically range from 3 to 10 working days for local UAE stock. For custom or high-volume orders destined for regional GCC projects, we provide a detailed delivery schedule aligned with your construction phases to ensure zero site downtime.
Is a special substrate required for installation?
These decorative brick tiles can be installed on most stable substrates, including cement plaster, concrete blocks, and moisture-resistant gypsum boards. We recommend ensuring the surface is level, clean, and primed. For exterior applications, using a waterproof membrane and specialized tile adhesive suitable for the local climate is essential to ensure the longevity of the facade against humidity and heat.
