An increasingly popular choice for architects and specifiers, brick slip cladding offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional bricks and mortar which reduces time on site and achieves a genuine brick finish.
Leading brick slip cladding manufacturer and proud sponsor of the 2022 Façade Awards UK, Stofix is the only pre-pointed, mechanically fixed brick slip cladding that is fire rated over 18m. With no height limit, Stofix is mechanically fixed utilising a metal backing plate and the patented system gives specifiers the flexibility to choose almost any brick.
Alex Porter, operations director for Stofix UK, explains: “The unique system is pre-pointed and manufactured off-site which reduces time on site. Stofix also reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional bricks and mortar, the product is made from recyclable materials, metals and kiln-fired bricks.”
The completed panels are delivered direct to building sites ready to be installed quickly and efficiently using a unique modularised mounting system, the installed panels require minimal pointing.
Stofix is BBA Certified, has a 60-year Design Life and 20-year manufacture warranty. The Stofix team guarantee comprehensive design responsibility and end-to-end consultancy throughout the project. Stofix UK provide a nationwide service and currently we work within the education, residential, commercial and retail sectors. Porter continues: “Stofix worked on the award-winning Urbanest Vauxhall student accommodation rising to 32 stories. The project is the first brick-clad building over 90 metres in the UK.”
