Steel Frame Mineral Wool Clay Brick Slips
Layer-by-layer system specification
This is Licata's EWI system for steel frame construction with a clay brick slip finish, combining non-combustible mineral wool insulation with the authentic appearance of traditional brickwork. Starting from the A1 fibre cement board sheathing, Licata supplies the complete system from a single source.
Raso Top 800 is used as both the insulation adhesive and the reinforced basecoat. Super S1, Licata's S1-rated flexible tile adhesive, bonds the clay brick slips to the cured basecoat, providing the flexibility required to accommodate thermal movement in the system.

Benefits of Steel Frame Mineral Wool Clay Brick Slips
Non-Combustible Throughout
A1 fibre cement sheathing with non-combustible mineral wool insulation delivers a fully non-combustible system from substrate to insulation, suitable for buildings where combustible materials are restricted.
Authentic Brick Appearance
Clay brick slips deliver the genuine look and texture of traditional brickwork, ideal where planning requirements or design codes demand a real brick finish on steel frame construction.
Flexible S1 Adhesive
Super S1 brick slip adhesive accommodates thermal movement in the EWI system, preventing cracking and debonding that can occur with rigid adhesives on insulated substrates.
Single Source Supply
Licata supplies the complete system of insulation, fixings, mesh, adhesive, basecoat, primer and render, simplifying procurement and ensuring full system compatibility.
System certification and performance
This system has been assessed and certified. The certification number, fire classification and impact resistance category are declared for the complete system as installed. U-value calculations are produced on a project-specific basis.
Fire performance is classified to BS EN 13501-1. The system achieves Use Category I impact resistance classification, indicating suitability for areas readily accessible at ground level and exposed to normal hard-body impacts.
