T.I. Dynamic Facades

What T.I. Dynamic Facades does

T.I. Dynamic Facades (legal entity: TI Tiles International Limited, registered in Scotland, Company Number SC079734) is a second-generation family-owned specialist in architectural rainscreen cladding, operating from Glasgow and London. Founded in 1982 with over 40 years of UK construction experience, the company supplies an integrated portfolio of façade materials — stone (Aerolite, Aerolite Monolith, Total Stone), brick slips (Aerobrik), concrete/reconstituted stone (UHPC, GRC, Engineered Stone), and ceramic (Favemanc Terracotta, Dynamic Ceramic) — supported by a proprietary range of engineered fixing and subframe systems (TI-DF1 through TI-DF7) that share a common thermally broken aluminium subframe across all product categories.

The technical platform is engineered around the TI-DF1 subframe, with product-specific fixing methods (kerf, undercut anchor, cassette plate, flat plate, clip) tailored to each cladding type. All systems carry extensive third-party certifications, including EN 13501-1 fire ratings (up to A1), CWCT impact testing, UL accreditation, NHBC recognition, GRCA approval, and bomb blast certification, alongside ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 manufacturing accreditations. The company distinguishes itself by positioning as a façade solutions partner rather than a material supplier, embedding early in the design process with architects and developers to provide indicative engineering, specification development, and coordination through to installation and aftercare.

Revenue is generated on a project-based one-time supply model complemented by embedded technical services, with direct enterprise sales to architects, developers, and main contractors across the UK construction market. Distribution is exclusively direct (no resellers or distributors), supported by marketing channels including a content-rich website, LinkedIn presence, 25+ case studies, downloadable technical resources, and a CIAT-certified CPD training programme. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors and operates with 11-50 employees.

Revenue model

1. Façade Systems and Materials Supply: TI Dynamic Facades generates revenue primarily through the supply of façade systems and materials — including Aerolite stone cladding, Aerobrik brick slips, UHPC, GRC, terracotta, and associated fixing systems. These are sold as product packages to architects, developers, and contractors as part of a coordinated façade solutions partnership. Revenue is project-based and derived from material supply contracts across the UK construction market.
2. Technical Services and Design Support: Revenue is supplemented by technical services including early design stage guidance, indicative engineering input, specification development, and installation coordination. These services support the product sales relationship and are embedded within the broader façade solutions partnership model.

Core offering

TI Dynamic Facades supplies engineered rainscreen cladding systems and fixing solutions for the UK construction industry. The portfolio spans natural stone (Aerolite Stonework & Granite, Aerolite Monolith, Total Stone), brick-slip (Aerobrik), reconstituted stone and concrete (UHPC, GRC, Engineered Stone), and ceramic/terracotta (Favemanc, Dynamic Ceramic) panels. These are delivered with a proprietary family of fixing and subframe systems (TI-DF1 through TI-DF7) and supported by early design guidance, indicative engineering, and project coordination for architects, developers, and main contractors.

Product overview

TI Dynamic Facades is a second-generation family business with over 40 years of experience in the UK construction industry. The company operates as a façade solutions partner offering an integrated portfolio of cladding systems rather than a single unified product. The core product range includes stone cladding solutions (Aerolite Stonework & Granite, Aerolite Monolith, Total Stone), brick slip cladding (Aerobrik), concrete/reconstituted stone solutions (UHPC, GRC, Engineered Stone), and ceramic options (Favemanc Terracotta, Dynamic Ceramic). Supporting this portfolio are proprietary fixing and subframe systems (TI-DF1 through TI-DF7) that provide engineered structural support and installation methods for each cladding type. The company combines these products with early design guidance, indicative engineering input, and strategic engineering partnerships to deliver complete façade solutions from concept through installation.

Broad incumbents

• Wienerberger UK: UK subsidiary of Europe's largest brick manufacturer, offering brick, brick-slip and facade systems. A broad incumbent in clay-based facade products that overlaps with TI Dynamic Facades' Aerobrik brick-slip range but on a much larger scale and with in-house manufacturing rather than a solutions-partner model.
• Sto SE & Co. KGaA: German-headquartered international manufacturer of facade systems including external wall insulation, render systems, and rainscreen cladding components. A broad incumbent whose StoVentec and render-based systems overlap with TI Dynamic Facades' rainscreen offerings for UK commercial projects, with significantly larger scale and a wider product portfolio.
• Forterra: Major UK building products manufacturer producing bricks, blocks, and precast concrete components including facade elements. A broad incumbent whose precast concrete and brick-slip ranges overlap with TI Dynamic Facades' UHPC, GRC and Aerobrik offerings, but with a much wider product portfolio and direct manufacturing scale.
• Knauf Insulation / Knauf UK: UK operations of Knauf, a major international building materials group producing rainscreen systems, external wall insulation, and facade plaster systems. A broad incumbent whose EWI and render-based rainscreen solutions partially overlap with TI Dynamic Facades' rainscreen cladding offering for UK commercial and residential construction.

Direct peers

• Trespa UK: Manufacturer of high-pressure laminate (HPL) facade cladding panels, directly competing with TI Dynamic Facades' rainscreen cladding offering in the commercial and education sectors. Trespa panels are typically integrated with third-party subframe systems similar in concept to TI's TI-DF1 thermally broken aluminium subframe.
• Cembrit: UK distributor of fibre cement rainscreen cladding panels, directly competing with TI Dynamic Facades' stone, brick-slip and ceramic rainscreen offerings. Cembrit serves similar architect and contractor customers with comparable A-rated fire-tested rainscreen systems for commercial and residential projects.
• Eurobrick: UK-based brick-slip cladding systems manufacturer and supplier, directly competing with TI Dynamic Facades' Aerobrik range in the ventilated rainscreen brick-slip category. Both target architects, developers, and main contractors across UK residential, commercial and education sectors with comparable UL/NHBC-recognised systems.
• Shackerley (Holdings) Group: UK-based manufacturer of ceramic rainscreen cladding systems (SureClad and CeramicTex ranges), directly competing with TI Dynamic Facades' Dynamic Ceramic and Terracotta product lines. Both serve large UK commercial and transport projects with engineered facade panels and established technical support models.
• Terreal UK: UK arm of Terreal, one of Europe's largest terracotta rainscreen cladding manufacturers, directly competing with the Favemanc/TI-DF7 terracotta system. Offers standard and bespoke terracotta facade panels with comparable antibacterial and self-cleaning surface options to TI's Active Plus partnership range.

Others

• Rockwool UK: UK arm of Rockwool International, manufacturer of stone wool insulation and facade systems including rainscreen insulation boards and branded rainscreen systems (e.g., REDAir). An adjacent rather than directly competing peer, as Rockwool primarily supplies the insulation behind rainscreens that TI Dynamic Facades' cladding panels are fixed to, but increasingly bundles complete facade systems.
