B.O.S.S.
B.O.S.S. is a lightweight, stainless steel, prefabricated brick slip soffit system designed to be quickly and easily bolted to IG’s Welded Masonry Support (WMS) to create spectacular brick soffits.
Manufactured off-site, the prefabricated components are delivered to site complete with brick slips adhesively bonded to the stainless steel carrier unit. The lightweight system facilitates fast and efficient installation. Installation time on-site can be reduced by up to 90% and the need for mechanical lifting is removed as B.O.S.S. units are 70% lighter than equivalent concrete units.
Application
Brick soffits, deep reveals and flying beams have become increasingly popular design features with architects wanting to add depth and visual flare to a masonry façade. IG’s B.O.S.S. system provides a technically advanced solution that meets the required aesthetics, producing completely hidden structural steel work which gives the impression of unsupported brickwork.
Adjustability
B.O.S.S. is a two part system designed to be fitted to the underside of IG’s Welded Masonry Support (WMS) and offers adjustability on all three planes.
The Masonry Support Shelf is supplied with a slotted hole, giving adjustability along the Z axis. Further adjustment on the Z axis is attained by shimming behind the Masonry Support Bracket.
The integrated channel in the B.O.S.S. unit allows for increased adjustment on the X axis. Adjustability on the Y axis is created within the Masonry Support Bracket, and the ability to insert shims between the Shelf and the bolt-up System.
