FastWall® recognised with major industry award and shortlisting

At the heart of the system is the patented use of thin clay IBricks®, embedded within a glassfibre-reinforced concrete backing to create a robust, interlocking panelised façade. The panels are lightweight - weighing under 60kg/m² - significantly lighter than traditional brickwork, enabling reduced foundation requirements and associated carbon savings. Independent testing has verified high levels of structural performance, durability and fire safety.

FastWall also delivers measurable productivity improvements on site. Installation rates can exceed 30m² per day - up to six times faster than conventional bricklaying - helping to reduce programme durations, scaffolding needs and weather-related delays. The system’s alternative installation method also helps mitigate the ongoing shortage of skilled bricklayers by enabling different installation skillsets.

Architecturally, FastWall maintains the flexibility designers expect from traditional brickwork, offering a wide range of finishes and bonds while benefiting from the consistency and quality of off-site manufacturing.

These awards recognise the innovation, collaboration and long-term investment behind FastWall, as well as its role in supporting more efficient, sustainable and scalable housing delivery. We are incredibly proud of everyone involved in bringing FastWall to market and look forward to continuing its success in the months ahead.
