The Eight Building incorporates the Corium™ brick cladding system, marking its first use in Ireland. This innovative system features thin, extruded natural clay brick tiles mechanically fixed to interlocking steel rails, creating a ventilated rainscreen façade. The Corium system offers several advantages, including rapid installation—up to four times faster than traditional brickwork—and enhanced durability, with a lifespan exceeding 60 years.
The choice of Corium cladding aligns with the building's design ethos, reflecting the industrial heritage of the surrounding Liberties area while providing a contemporary and sustainable exterior. The Eight Building spans 75,000 sq ft over six floors, offering high-spec office spaces and contributing to the ongoing regeneration of the Newmarket district.
