Pro-Steel Brick Slip Bolt Up Soffits 1.0. Background The Pro-Steel range comprises brick slips bonded exclusively to a perforated stainless steel carrier or chassis. The stainless steel components are purchased from our supply chain partners who undertake the design, fabrication and welding of the units in line with BS EN 1090 Design, Welding and Fabrication under a Certified Factory Production Control System. All brick cutting, bonding and fabrication are exclusively carried out by Fab-Steel using our BBA accredited epoxy resin formulated for the adhesion of brick to stainless steel. Our factory is audited by both the BBA and our quality control specialist consultant QMS. As part of the design service, Fab-Steel review customers’ requirements and produce layout and section drawings illustrating the design of the products required to achieve the specified brick features. These products can be either a lintel or bolt up. The design of the two systems is fundamentally the same in that the same brick slips are bonded to a perforated stainless steel carrier using the same resin for either design. The difference being that the carrier can either be produced with an integrated channel section to allow it to be bolted to another component (Pro- Steel Bolt Up) or it can be welded to a lintel meaning that the bricks slip feature becomes an integral part of the lintel assembly (Pro-Steel lintel). 2.0. Pro-Steel Bolt Ups The Illustration below shows a typical ‘bolt up’ application where the bolt up is fixed to a masonry support shelf angle. Square nuts are located within the channel section which is welded into the carrier. M12 button cap heads are then used to fix the bolt up to the slots in the masonry support angle. ab-steel LIMITED
