Fastmount SLX Heavy Duty Clips | La Tienda Naval

SLX Range

When the panel is heavy — natural stone, thick composite, ceramic or solid timber — you need a clip that will not give up. The Fastmount SLX range is engineered to hold high-weight panels with the same invisible mounting philosophy and tool-free removal. In the marine world we find it mainly on superyachts and luxury vessels where interiors feature premium materials that weigh considerably more than standard plywood.

  • Natural stone or composite panels in superyacht bathrooms
  • Solid timber linings in main saloons
  • Thick, heavy sandwich-core bulkhead panels
  • Fire-rated walls with marine certification (FR versions available)
  • Access panels to technical equipment in engine rooms

If you are working on a marine interior project with heavy materials, the SLX range gives you peace of mind that the panel stays where you put it, even with the boat in rough seas. The fire-rated (FR) versions comply with fire safety regulations required on commercial vessels and superyachts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can an SLX clip hold?

Each SLX fixing point supports significantly more load than a Standard clip. The number of clips per panel depends on total weight and orientation (ceilings require more points than walls). Contact us with your panel dimensions and weight and we will calculate the exact number needed.

Do I need special tools to install SLX?

No. It installs with a drill and screwdriver just like all other Fastmount ranges. The difference is that the screws and clip are more robust, but the mounting principle is identical: female to structure, male to panel, click.

Are fire-rated versions mandatory on my boat?

It depends on applicable regulations. On commercial vessels and superyachts with flags requiring SOLAS compliance, they are mandatory in specific zones. For private recreational boats it is usually not a legal requirement, but many owners choose them regardless for safety.
