Trisofix™ universal mounting system
Trisofix™ a simple to use patented universal mounting system. Combined with pre-finished panels and products it creates a true DfMA solution that unlocks both off-site and on-site productivity.
Trisofix™ enables lower carbon, cost and time certain project delivery.
Made using high grade coated steel components the Trisofix™ mounting system fixes back to any structural wall type and can be used throughout a building, both for façades and internal fit out.

EN-Construction-Product-Trisofix-Overview
Made using high quality coated steel components, the Trisofix™ mounting system fixes back to any structural wall type and can be used throughout a building, both for façades and internal fit out.
Typically Trisofix’s Fast Fit clip is factory fitted to prefinished panels but can also be fitted on site offering hybrid functionality and flexibility for installers.
Trisofix creates a 55mm cavity behind prefinished panels, which when combined with the individual panel demounting, provides easy access to any services behind, simplifying and speeding up M&E installation.
The robust clip can be continually reinstalled without compromising strength or integrity, and allows panels and products to be removed, replaced, relocated and reused.
While Trisofix™ is fast to fit, the mounting system combines its usability with exceptional strength and durability credentials.
EN-Construction-Product-Trisofix-Sustainability
Trisofix™ is a platform solution that can be used in combination with multiple panels and product types to create integrated fit out or façade systems. The efficiency of a DfMA (Designed for Manufacture and Assembly) approach to construction delivers considerable reductions in Carbon impact during installation.
The Trisofix™ components, when combined with pre-finished panels and products, creates a kit of parts, that results in fewer deliveries to site and minimising on-site waste.
With less trades and a condensed installation time on site, Trisofix™ can drastically reduce the number of labourer journeys and overnight accommodation stays during the finishing stages of a build.
Trisofix™ enables products to be individually demounted and reinstalled time after time, facilitating relocation and reuse of wall panels. With a design life of up to 60 years, the mounting system enables buildings to be adapted and upgraded as future technologies emerge, minimising the waste and disruption typically associated with refurbishment. With all Trisofix™ components being steel based it’s 100% recyclable when it eventually needs replacing.

Quick and easy installation
The patented Trisofix™ universal mounting system uses high grade coated steel components. The system fixes back to any structural wall type and can be used throughout a building, both for façades and internal fit out.
Typically Trisofix’s panel clip is factory fitted to prefinished products such as Trimawall’s performance panels but it can also be fitted on-site offering hybrid functionality and flexibility for installers.

EN-Construction-Product-Trisofix-products-in-practice
Utilising the Trisofix™ universal mounting system Building Systems UK's Trimawall® has been designed to facilitate the move to high quality off-site build solutions that can radically change the speed, safety and environmental impact of onsite construction.
Trisofix allows Trimawall’s high performance Colorcoat® steel skinned panels to be installed by semi-skilled labourers, removes the need for wet trades and avoids plastering dust.
First used on the SEISMIC demonstrator at BRE Watford Trimawall is now being adapted for healthcare and secure applications as well as the standard education and office fit outs.

Fast & efficient wall finishing
The Trisofix™ patented clip system that is pre-applied to the vertical edges of the composite sheet in our factory can be used to apply and mount various panel types within the construction market including Building Systems UK's Trimawall steel skinned composite panels.
On-site, panels can typically be lifted with vacuum lifters and push fitted by a 2-person installation crew. With the pre-finished panel requiring no additional wet trade finishing Trimawall® helps simplify and condense the total fit out and finishing process, however this universal mounting systems can be used not just for steel panels but other various panel types and materials.
Individually demountable panels
A good example of the Trisofix™ universal mounting system is the use of Trimawall® panels which can be individually demounted by a 2 person crew using vacuum lifters and the Trimawall demounting tool - this process can be used for other panel types. With the use of Trisofix™, panels can be demounted and reinstalled multiple times without compromising performance or aesthetics. Not only does this allow for easy access to the M&E services within the cavity for maintenance or upgrading, but it allows panels to be relocated, reused, replaced to help reconfigure and enhance buildings over time.
