NEWS | Industry-first BBA Certification Achieved for Welded Masonry Support System

IG Masonry Support is delighted to announce that our Welded Masonry Support (WMS) system is British Board of Agrément (BBA) certified, becoming the first masonry support manufacturer to receive this certification for a masonry support system.

BBA approval is recognised by building control, government departments, architects, local authorities, specifiers, and industry insurers like the National House Builders Council (NHBC).

“The certification provides that added re-assurance and confidence needed at a time with legislation changes such as Approved Document B and most recently the Building Safety Act. It makes us proud to know that IG Masonry Support continues to raise the bar and be at the forefront of positive change in our industry.”

We’re proud to add this latest BBA certification to our extensive portfolio, which already includes B.O.S.S., B.O.S.S.
