Façade anchors

In order to attach precast concrete elements, ceramic tiles, facing masonry, natural stone slabs and other types of façade cladding, so-called façade cankers are used.

Façade anchors are made of stainless steel and, in addition to the actual weight of the façade cladding, must also withstand temperature fluctuations and wind pressure. Therefore, the building approval must have been preceded by careful inspections by the building authorities.

Façade anchors can be cast or screwed into the cladding. Alternatively, so-called agraffes can be attached to the façade cladding, which are then hung in anchor rails.
