95% of the pointing is carried out in our factory which significant-ly reduces pointing on-site. Stofix has one of the lowest weights on the market - from 37 kg per sqm and can be fixed to any load-bearing wall (timber, concrete, or steel) reducing the load by over 50% compared to traditional masonry.
