Introduction
The Slip House in Brixton is a low carbon dwelling with a distinctive exterior of glazed paneling, designed to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 5. It was featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs in 2012 as a prototype for adaptable terraced housing.

Design and Construction
The house features three "slipped" orthogonal box forms that create a striking sculptural appearance. A key element of its design is the thermal mass provided by Cornish Concrete Products' (CCP) "demidec" flooring and staircases. These components are manufactured using advanced techniques and materials, contributing to the building's minimalist aesthetic by allowing the soffit and joint quality to remain exposed.

Thermal Mass Benefits
The inherent thermal mass of the concrete floors helps regulate temperature fluctuations. The exposed concrete acts as a thermal sponge, absorbing heat during the day to cool the building and releasing stored heat at night.

Environmental Commitment
CCP is committed to environmental responsibility, holding ISO14001 accreditation for its Environmental Management System. It is a founder signatory of the British Precast Sustainability Charter and among the first in the UK to achieve BES6001 accreditation for responsible sourcing, with a "Very Good" status.

Ecocrete and Sustainability
CCP's Ecocrete is the UK's most environmentally friendly structural precast concrete, with at least 80% secondary product content in every cubic metre. The Ecocrete "Plus" variant increases this to at least 85%. Precast concrete solutions help avoid environmental impacts such as waste and water contamination.

Quality Assurance
CCP is also accredited with the Quality Management System ISO9001, ensuring high standards across its product range.
