Knowledge & Academy

Vandersanden is not only a producer of bricks for facades and streets. We have a leading role in the value chain of development and construction. And we take responsibility for this; we look beyond our own position. After all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. On the basis of our family values, we will therefore always do everything we can to give each link in the chain extra strength and resilience. So that everyone benefits. For a better result, now and in the future.

Vandersanden has played a major role in the construction supply chain for decades, with its products and supporting services. We provide the building blocks, both literally and figuratively, to realise projects of any size. As a family business, every decision is taken with the long-term vision in mind. Which choices are sustainable? What will the world look like in 50 years' time?

Vandersanden draws on experience, but also on its rich knowledge of materials and processes, as well as its continuous research into smart, future-proof ways of developing and building. Vandersanden is keen to share this added value so that everyone benefits. After all, the best things are made together.

Brick slips

Insulating your exterior wall – an absolute must

A poorly insulated building increases energy consumption, which is bad for the environment and bad for your budget.

Clay pavers for public spaces

Uniform, but full of variety

When it comes to choosing a bond for laying pavers, visual appearance and functionality are the key factors.

Facing bricks

Can brick slips be used as a floor covering?

Can brick slips also be used as finish flooring? Good question. We make a distinction between indoor and outdoor areas.

Facing bricks

Preventing differences in colour and staining in a facade

A beautiful facade is something to be proud of, but differences in colour and stains can undermine the appearance of your facade. Learn how to avoid these unwanted effects and achieve exactly the facade image that you have in mind.
