The SWIFIX fixing solution has been designed and developed specifically for refitting and installing both lightweight and heavy items through External Wall Insulation (ETICS) systems.
The fixings can be used during or after the EWI system installation, providing the most cost effective and maintenance- free solution for the market, whilst also ensuring the integrity and protection of the EWI system, protecting guarantees and warranties.
The solution is suitable for all system finishes from brick slip, textured and rough-cast/dashing and through all types of insulation types and thicknesses of 50 mm to 300 mm.
Tested by the BRE for strength, compression, wind, load and thermal loss the fixings ensure the thermal efficiency of the building is maintained and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance to enhance newly installed external wall insulation. The fixings are approved by the NHBC and Sky (for satellite dishes), as well as being recommended by numerous EWI system designers and installers across the UK for securing any item from bird netting, external lights and rainwater goods to air source heat pumps and canopies.
Considering the environmental impact, all products are manufactured in the UK using recycled materials and are available in black and white as standard; however bespoke colours are available to compliment the finished render if required. Fixings are available direct from SWIFIX Ltd via their on-line store and from various distributors and builders’ merchants throughout the UK, with design and technical guidance available.
