Suzhou-based manufacturer launches Snap Fit fibre cement system, delivering authentic brick aesthetics without the weight, cost, or skilled labor shortage headaches.
SUZHOU, CHINA – December 4, 2025 – Oriental Construction Material (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (OCM) addresses the core challenges of modern construction with its groundbreaking 15mm Interlocking Brick-Pattern Fibre Cement Cladding. This factory-painted, fire-rated system features the innovative Click Lock concealed-fix system, designed to reduce facade installation timelines by up to 50%, directly tackling the global skilled labor shortage and rising project costs.
Forget traditional, time-intensive methods. OCM's solution utilizes precision-machined tongue-and-groove edges that allow panels to snap together securely with no visible fasteners. Early-adopting contractors report completing projects in nearly half the time, translating delays into profit.
Why This is the Solution for 2025:
Beats the Labor Crisis: With over 70% of contractors facing skilled labor gaps, OCM's intuitive system requires minimal training. A single installer can easily handle the full 3000mm length panels.
Exceeds Safety & Sustainability Mandates: The panel carries a superior Class A2-s1,d0 fire rating, meeting stringent post-Grenfell regulations worldwide. Its composition and durability support A+ BRE Green Guide ratings and align with global net-zero building codes.
Eliminates On-Site Delays: The UV-stable factory finish guarantees consistent color and quality, removing weather-dependent painting from the critical path.
Specs That Matter to Profitable Projects:
Authentic 3D Brick Texture: Deeply molded patterns, not flat prints, for a realistic masonry look.
Heavy-Duty 15mm Core: Engineered for impact and hurricane resistance, backed by robust warranties.
Optimized & Custom Sizes: Standard 2440mm & 3000mm lengths at 600mm width fit standard batten centers. Full OEM customization (1200-3600mm) is available.
Complete System: A true click cladding system that is ready for installation upon delivery.
The Bottom Line:
“We priced a 500m² apartment façade,” shares a contractor from Melbourne. “OCM's interlocking system saved us $2,000 in labor alone. The brick texture passed council inspection – they thought it was real masonry.”
OCM invites distributors, architects, and builders to experience the efficiency firsthand with sample kits and project-specific quotations.
