Steel Frame Mineral Wool Mineral Brick Slips
Layer-by-layer system specification
This is Licata's EWI system for steel frame construction with a mineral brick slip finish, combining non-combustible mineral wool insulation with a lightweight, consistent brick appearance. 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, encapsulating the fibreglass mesh reinforcement. A dedicated mineral brick slip adhesive bonds the slips directly to the cured basecoat.

Benefits of Steel Frame Mineral Wool Mineral 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.
Brick Appearance
Mineral brick slips deliver a consistent, low-maintenance brick appearance, with uniform colour and texture across the full elevation of the building.
Lightweight Finish
Mineral brick slips are significantly lighter than clay brick slips, reducing dead load on the EWI system and simplifying handling and installation on site.
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.
