Increasingly we are seeing imported alternatives to the Walraven Britclips RSWB entering the market. Whilst imports can sometimes be cheaper, they do not always have the same benefits as our British-made RSWB.
Here are some reasons why the Britclips RSWB may still be the best choice: 
Quality: Our product is made to strict UK standards including high internal quality controls and ISO standards. Often imported products are not subject to the same level of quality controls. In addition, we source UK steel which is made to a consistent specification, with managed supply and quality controls.
Availability: Locally manufactured products can offer improved availability and faster delivery options. Imported alternatives can be out of stock for much longer periods suffering longer lead times and potential delays.
Benefits of local manufacture: The UK made RSWB has a much lower carbon footprint compared to an imported product due to the reduced shipping distance. Plus, if you buy local, you are supporting the UK manufacturing industry. We are proud to
manufacture the RSWB and other Walraven products right here in the UK.
Versatile: The RSWB is available in two different sizes. The shorter 10-16in bracket is perfect for fixing between floor joists whilst the longer 16-24in version is ideal for fixing electrical boxes in stud walls. The RSWB is easily adjustable and can be fixed to wood or metal joists. Also, the RSWB has enhanced fixing plates which are easier to bend than some alternatives and are designed to bend in multiple places for versatile fixing options.
Compatibility: The Walraven Britclips RSWB is compatible with other products for easy first-fixing. You can use both standard plastic clips or the Walraven starQuick® clips with ease, simply screw directly into the bracket holes for easy alignment. The recessed side of the RSWB is also compatible with Walraven RapidRail® Hammerfix slide nuts, which simply twist into the channel should you need to attach metal pipe clips.
UK support for installers: Our UK based Sales and Technical Team are always on hand to answer any questions you may have about the RSWB. Imported products often lack to provision of after-sales support.
Ultimately the choice of what product to use can depend on many factors including quality, price, product features, carbon footprint and personal preference. Also the brands your wholesaler chooses to stock can impact what is available to you.
