Overview

This specialized anchoring solution combines elements of sleeve anchors and wedge anchors, specifically engineered for the demanding application of fixing stone cladding and marble angles to curtain wall systems or structural elements. It provides a robust, adjustable, and non-corrosive method to securely attach heavy stone panels and marble components, ensuring stability, safety, and aesthetic integrity in building construction, particularly for facades.

Definition

A Sleeve Anchor Curtain Wall Wedge Anchor for Stone Cladding Marble Angle Fixing is a highly specialized stainless steel fastener designed for the secure attachment of natural stone cladding panels and marble angle brackets to curtain wall structures or concrete/masonry substrates. It typically features an expanding sleeve for broad contact within a pre-drilled hole, often combined with a wedge-action mechanism for superior grip and pull-out resistance, facilitating precise and adjustable installation of heavy stone elements while accommodating the specific requirements of curtain wall construction and preventing aesthetic damage or structural failure.

Advantages

• High Load-Bearing Capacity: Engineered to support substantial loads from heavy stone and marble panels, ensuring secure and stable facade construction.
• Corrosion Resistance: Typically made from high-grade stainless steel (e.g., A4/316), offering excellent resistance to corrosion, essential for long-term outdoor facade integrity.
• Adjustability: Often designed to allow for precise alignment and adjustment of stone panels and angles during installation, critical for achieving a flawless facade.
• Secure Fixing: The expansion mechanism (sleeve and/or wedge) provides a strong, reliable interlock with the base material, preventing movement and ensuring safety.
• Reduced Stress on Stone: Meticulously designed to distribute load and minimize localized stress on delicate stone and marble, preventing cracks or damage.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for various base materials including concrete, solid brick, and curtain wall profiles, providing flexibility in construction.
• Ease of Installation for Specific Tasks: While robust, they are designed to facilitate efficient and accurate fixing of stone cladding and marble angles, simplifying a complex installation.

Applications

• Stone Cladding and Facades: Primary use is for securely attaching natural stone panels (e.g., granite, marble, limestone) to building exteriors, especially on high-rise structures with curtain wall systems.
• Marble Angle Fixing: Specifically designed for mounting marble angle brackets and other decorative or structural marble components.
• Curtain Wall Systems: Integral in connecting stone cladding to the framework of aluminum or steel curtain wall structures.
• Reinforcement of Stone Elements: Used to reinforce corner pieces, edge profiles, and other vulnerable parts of stone cladding systems.
• Architectural and Decorative Stone Work: Essential for fixing custom stone designs, decorative elements, and intricate patterns to building facades.
• Building Refurbishment and Restoration: Employed when restoring or upgrading existing stone facades, ensuring modern safety and durability standards.
