Brick has long been the go-to choice for British architecture – valued for its heritage, durability, and familiar aesthetic. But traditional brickwork and even some modern brick slip systems come with trade-offs: lengthy installation, heavy loads, and complex construction detailing. That’s where Slipfast, Benx’s mechanically-fixed brick slip system, comes in.
Combining the timeless look of brick with the speed and performance of modern construction methods, Slipfast offers a smarter, safer, and more sustainable approach to façade design.
