Stone Fixing Systems
Natural stone façades are constructed using stainless steel stone anchoring systems. This system provides a secure and straight forward method for supporting stone panels on load-bearing backing walls.
These anchors are commonly used in the construction industry to fix stone panels to load-bearing walls using anchor bolts or mortar. They are versatile and can be used with various types of backing walls, including concrete, block work, masonry, and steel structures. In case of attachments to steel frames, set screws with nuts and washers are used for fixing. Three dimensional adjustability provides easy installation and enables precision positioning, accommodating cladding tolerances.
There are various types and sizes of stone fixing anchors available to suit different wall cavity depths, support the stone’s dead weight, and withstand wind pressures. Choosing the right fixing system requires a careful analysis of the stone application to ensure safety and stability.
HZ Z Anchors
HZ Z Anchors are the most conventional and common method of fixing systems used for natural stone installation.With their three dimensional adjustability, Z anchors allow the quick and easy installation of natural stone slabs both at the horizontal and vertical joints. Z Anchors are recommended for use on projection sizes between 45 to 150 mm and depending on the design, they have a load capacity of up to 800 N. Z anchors are fixed to concrete walls with expansion bolts and also can be set onto channels with hex bolts or lock nuts.
• Direct fixing on to load bearing walls with expansion bolts
• Indirect fixing on to sub channel system with hex bolts or lock nuts
• Three dimensional adjustability – quick and easy fixing
• Installation at horizontal and vertical joints
• Recommended projection sizes up to 150 mm & loads up to 800 N

AXO Body Anchors
Body anchors are secure and economic fixing systems to install heavy slabs at large projection sizes. Body anchors are available in sizes to fit a projection range from 60 mm to 260 mm, with a load capacity of up to 1300 N. The use of these anchors is preferred due to their low engineering and optimum static performance. Body anchors are adjustable in three dimensions and allow quick and easy installation of natural stone slabs at horizontal joints and vertical joints. Body anchors are fixed to concrete with expansion bolts and to subchannel structures with hex bolts.
• Direct fixing in to load bearing substrates with anchor bolts
• Indirect fixing on to sub channel systems with hex bolts or lock nuts
• Three dimensional adjustability – quick and easy fixing
• Installation at horizontal and vertical joints
• Optimum static performance for higher loads and larger projection sizes
• Recommended projection sizes up to 300 mm and loads up to 1300 N

HA L Anchors
HA L Anchors are traditional types of fixing systems for installing natural stone slabs. These anchors are used to install natural stone slabs at horizontal joints on to concrete walls with expansion bolts. HA L Anchors are available in different types and sizes to fit the requirement of the project.
• Direct fixing to load bearing substrates such as concrete walls with expansion bolts or resin bolts. Indirect fixing to sub channel system is made with set screws.
• Economical & easy fixing.
• Installation at horizontal joints only.
• Adjustability provided through adjustable plates and slot pin holes. Use of Shims can enable outward adjustability within the cavity.
• Stone thickness of 2 cm to 12 cm can be used.

HDM Heavy Duty Mortar Anchors
Heavy Duty Mortar anchors are used to install high load natural stone slabs at large projection sizes, on to concrete and masonry walls using mortar. There are different types of mortar anchors to be used for different applications in horizontal and vertical Installation. Mortar anchors are fixed on to walls with mortar. Heavy duty mortar anchors allow the installation of loads of 1200 N at projection sizes of up to 240 mm.
• Direct fixing to concrete and masonry walls with mortar
• Economical & easy fixing
• Installation at vertical and horizontal joints
• Special design for installing heavy loads at large projection sizes
