Improved Buildability

By moving complex brickwork detailing offsite, Keyslip helps improve consistency, reduce onsite labour requirements and support more efficient construction programme

Engineered for long-term performance

Every Keyslip product combines precision-cut brick slips with Keystone Lintels’ patented perforated steel system and a high-performance BBA-approved adhesive. Manufactured within a controlled factory environment, this process creates a secure mechanical bond between the brick slips and supporting steelwork, providing a durable and reliable solution.

Proven Bonding Technology

The patented perforated steel system allows the adhesive to form a mechanical bond through the steel, securely fixing each brick slip to the structural unit while maintaining the appearance of traditional brickwork.

Controlled Factory Manufacture

Each product is manufactured using project-specific bricks within a controlled environment, helping to achieve a consistent appearance and high standard of finish.

The Keyslip range includes structural Brick Feature Lintels together with Lightweight Brick Headers and Sills, providing solutions for both loadbearing and non-loadbearing brickwork details. Every product is manufactured to project-specific requirements, helping to simplify the construction of decorative brickwork features across residential and commercial developments.
