Wincro LBS Brick Slip Soffit System

Wincro LBS prefabricated brick slip units provide a simple, time saving solution for incorporating soffit brickwork details to the full range of Wincro masonry support systems. Considerably lighter than traditional brick slip precast concrete products, Wincro LBS can be quickly and easily mechanically fixed on site to any Wincro WSC or WSCFA masonry support system, thus reducing installation time significantly.

LBS is a lightweight, brick slip faced, prefabricated stainless steel tray unit that is manufactured off-site in a CE approved factory environment and supplied complete with bonded brick slips produced from the clients same batch of bricks ensuring a perfect match is achieved.

Changes to Approved Document B of the Building Regulations have required that brick slip products must achieve an ‘A’ fire rating for non-combustible materials for use in the external walls of residential buildings over 18 metres in height as well as in care homes, student accommodation and hospitals.

The system has been independently tested by Notified Approval Bodies to evaluate and validate the load capacity, physical performance, reaction to fire behaviour and long-term durability of all system components. Wincro LBS is suitable for use in buildings over 18 metres high and complies with Approved Document B (Fire Safety) of the Building Regulations.

Wincro LBS is manufactured in stainless steel 1.4301 (304) and is fully adjustable to provide easy, onsite adjustment.
