Swifix is delighted to announce the launch of
its range of innovative fixings specifically designed and engineered for refitting
and installing items through external and solid wall insulation systems. Ideal
for use at the same time the system is being installed or post installation,
the fixings provide a cost effective and maintenance- free solution whilst,
importantly, ensuring the integrity of the external wall insulation system.
Tested by the BRE for strength, compression and
load, the fixings are manufactured from high quality recycled plastic and
provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance to enhance the newly installed
external wall insulation.
With five basic fixings, the range can be used
to install pretty much anything including satellite dishes, down pipes, washing
lines, hanging baskets, hand rails, fence and gate posts, BT boxes and
canopies, back through the EWI system. All products are
manufactured in black and white as standard; however bespoke finishes are
available to compliment the finished render.
Current standard practice relies on the use of
timber for re-fixing external items back through the EWI/SWI system, which can
contribute to cold spots and can disturb the continuous insulation
characteristics. This could create performance issues for the system and also
the longer term degradation of the timber within the EWI/SWI system would be a
concern.
The Swifix range ensures that your investment
is protected providing long term peace of mind that the product will continue
to perform as required and ensure that any system guarantees or warranties
remain unaffected. It is therefore essential that any future requirements for
fixing items through the insulation system are also installed correctly.
Fixings are available direct from SWIFIX Ltd
and from various distributors and builders merchants throughout the UK. Swifix also
provides full design and technical guidance to ensure the appropriate fixings
are chosen to suit the application, as well as on-site support and product and
installer training.
