ENGINEERED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS

The STOFIX brick slip cladding system is a ventilated, separated façade system. Its key advantage lies in the structural separation of the functions of thermal insulation and weather protection. This makes the system less susceptible to damage than traditional façade systems. In addition, performance requirements such as energy efficiency, fire safety, acoustic performance and lightning protection can be achieved without compromising aesthetics. STOFIX brick slip elements are mechanically fixed to the system rails, creating a continuous cavity between the insulation or load-bearing wall and the cladding. This separated construction prevents structural movement within the building from being transferred to the brick slip cladding.

Pre-pointed Cladding Elements

Unlike traditional brickwork, the STOFIX system is based on precision prefabrication. Genuine brick slips are factory-fixed to a backing panel under carefully controlled production conditions before being up to 95% pre-pointed in the factory. This enables faster installation with fewer weather-related delays, reduced material consumption and shorter construction programmes. Panels are manufactured to a maximum size of 600 × 1,200 mm, making them easier to handle while keeping their weight to a practical level. STOFIX cladding panels can be fixed to any load-bearing structure capable of supporting approximately 43 kg/m². The fixing system is suitable for both insulated and non-insulated constructions.

Mounting System

Where no additional insulation is required, the Z-rails are fixed directly to the load-bearing structure, which can typically consist of durable insulated panels. Where the substructure is required not only to support the façade elements but also to provide secure support for an insulation layer, the wall bracket system is used. Wall brackets are available in a range of sizes, allowing the mounting system to be adjusted to suit the required insulation thickness while enabling thermal bridge-free construction.

Engineering

Based on your design, we prepare detailed façade layouts with clearly referenced panel drawings. Panel formats, bond patterns, joint layouts, interfaces and bespoke panel sizes are all documented to ensure the design intent is accurately translated into construction. Each panel is precision manufactured to the exact project dimensions and clearly labelled for efficient logistics and installation. The result is a consistent, installation-ready façade system that helps minimise programme time on site.

We configure the substructure to suit the façade layout and the specific requirements of your project. Component locations and fixing details are clearly defined, with the entire system structurally coordinated and manufactured to precise dimensions. This provides the façade contractor with a clear, project-specific installation solution that reduces complexity and improves efficiency on site.

Logistics

STOFIX TRACK, our bespoke material tracking solution, has transformed the way projects are managed. STOFIX TRACK provides clients with greater visibility and control throughout the logistics process. The system enables users to track the location of every pre-pointed brick slip panel, schedule deliveries to site and receive automated updates on production progress.

Unitised façades

For off-site construction projects, STOFIX is also available as part of unitised façade systems. Panels up to 600 × 1,200 mm are integrated into storey-height façade systems under controlled factory conditions. The result is shorter construction programmes, reduced material consumption and measurable cost savings across the project.

Benefits

Fire safety

Mechanically restrained brick slips with an A2‑s1,d0 fire classification, supporting safe and compliant façade design.
Warranty

A comprehensive 20-year manufacturer’s warranty covering STOFIX products and supplied components, supported by full design responsibility and technical consultancy.
No height restriction

Suitable for buildings of any height, providing greater flexibility for the design and specification of high-rise façades.
Genuine brick appearance

High-quality, weather-resistant, kiln-fired bricks from carefully selected manufacturers, giving specifiers complete design freedom across brick colour, size, finish and laying pattern providing genuine brick appearance.
Durability

The Magnelis® coated metal backing plate provides strength and stability, ensuring reliable performance and long-term durability.
Ease of use

Lightweight prefabricated panels and pre-drilled mounting system rails enable faster installation, reducing on-site labour requirements and the risk of installation errors.
Rear-ventilated façade

The brick cladding is mounted onto rails, creating a continuous ventilated cavity between the façade and insulation or load-bearing wall, ensuring a dry building structure and contributing to better indoor climate.
Prefabrication

Prefabricated and up to 95% pre-pointed off-site under controlled factory conditions, ensuring precision and consistent quality.
Efficient installation

Completed panels are delivered directly to site and installed using a modular mounting system, minimising on-site pointing, labour requirements and installation time.
Cost reduction

The STOFIX system, combined with STOFIX TRACK is designed for efficient, year-round façade installation, minimising weather-related disruption and helping to reduce programme, labour and overall project costs.
Lightweight façade system

Starting from 43 kg/m², the lightweight system reduces structural loads by over 50% compared with traditional masonry.
