Anchoring systems, fastenings and connections must be statically verified in accordance with DIN 18516-1 and -3. In principle, a distinction is made between the following types of fastening systems:
A combination of anchoring systems is possible. A distinction is also made between load-bearing anchors, which transfer the dead weight of cladding panels via shear forces, wind loads via longitudinal forces into the anchoring base or the UK. Retaining anchors of cladding panels conduct wind loads via longitudinal forces into the anchoring base or into the UK.
Mortar anchor
This system is a "proven construction method" and has been able to hold its own in practice for decades. Mortar anchors can be finely adjusted in all 3 directions in the anchor drill hole and can compensate for larger shell tolerances.

The mortar anchor is an anchor part that anchors slabs and solid pieces of natural stone directly to the anchoring ground (shell, wall) and is connected by cement mortar in a force-fit manner.
