Petrified Brick Tile

SKU: PBS001

The Petrified Brick Tile (SKU: PBS001) from Prastara’s Brick Series offers a timeless aesthetic for high-end developments. Measuring 67mm x 205mm with a slim 12mm thickness, these tiles are engineered for both indoor and outdoor applications. Fabricated from high-grade natural brick, they provide the rugged durability required for facade brick in the UAE climate. Installation is streamlined on standard masonry or cement-board substrates using high-bond adhesives. These tiles are perfect for creating feature walls, retail storefronts, and residential exteriors. The petrified finish ensures a weathered, authentic texture that resists UV degradation and maintains structural integrity over decades. Produced with IHGIND’s 18+ years of expertise, these tiles meet the rigorous demands of GCC architectural projects.

Finish

Features a deeply textured, matte petrified surface that mimics aged masonry. The earthy tones shift subtly under direct sunlight, providing a natural, non-reflective finish.

Maintenance

Low-maintenance by design. For exterior applications, an annual low-pressure wash is sufficient to remove dust. For interior use, simple vacuuming or wiping with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid acidic cleaners to preserve the natural brick patina. Periodic sealing is advised for outdoor installations in high-moisture or coastal areas of the GCC to prevent salt efflorescence.

Frequently asked questions

Can these tiles be used for high-rise exterior cladding?
Yes, the Petrified Brick Tile is suitable for exterior brick cladding on mid-to-high-rise structures when installed on appropriate substrates like cementitious boards or concrete. At 12mm thickness, they are significantly lighter than full-sized bricks, reducing the dead load on the building's facade while providing the authentic look of traditional masonry. We recommend using high-performance flexible adhesives suited for the UAE's thermal expansion cycles to ensure long-term adhesion.
Are these tiles heat resistant for use near outdoor grills?
Absolutely. Being a kiln-fired brick product, the PBS001 series is naturally fire-resistant and can withstand the ambient heat of outdoor kitchen areas and BBQ surrounds. They are a preferred choice for residential patio designs across Dubai and the wider GCC due to their ability to remain stable under intense direct sunlight and high temperatures without warping, cracking, or fading over time.
How do I ensure a consistent color spread across a large wall?
Like all natural-based brick products, slight tonal variations are part of the aesthetic. We recommend blending tiles from multiple crates during the installation process. Our Jebel Ali facility ensures strict quality control, but manual sorting by the installation team ensures the most balanced distribution of the petrified finish across the entire facade or interior feature wall, creating a cohesive and natural appearance.
