The Benefits of Stainless Steel

Life-cycle costing is increasingly recognised as the true way to establish the cost of building components. The maintenance-free life and confirmed integrity of stainless steel, mean that no costly remedial measures are required during the life of the structure.

Masonry Support

Ancon manufactures a range of systems to support masonry cladding on steel or concrete framed structures. AnconOptima is a standard system comprising a two-step angle and a range of interchangeable brackets that suit cavities from 60mm to 130mm. Standard systems are available to support a brickwork height of up to 7 metres and can be easily specified using simple load/cavity charts. Ancon Individual Brackets provide flexibility in the design of brickwork and can be used to support curves and arches.

Windposts & Lintels

Windposts span vertically between floors to provide additional lateral support for panels of brickwork. They are designed to suit the specific requirements of each application. A standard range of lintels suits the majority of loading conditions. Bespoke lintels can be designed to suit special architectural features.

Stonework Supports

Ancon’s product range includes a variety of individual support angles and restraint fixings specifically for use with stone cladding. Ties can be easily specified with dowels or lips for the restraining of stone panels. Wire ties are also available for the fixing of thin marble.

Wall Ties & Restraint Fixings

In addition to a comprehensive range of standard wall ties (including the market leading Staifix range), Ancon manufactures bespoke ties which can be specified by using a simple reference system for the head, shank and end of the tie. Other products include frame cramps, head restraints and masonry reinforcement. Contact Ancon for information on wall ties that comply with Part E: Resistance to the passage of sound.

Tension Bar Systems

The Ancon 500 is a high performance tension system. It is available in carbon steel or stainless steel and comprises a stylish range of fork connectors, locking nuts, bars and discs. These components can be used to create a variety of assemblies from simple tie bars to complex bracing systems with several bars joined at one point. In addition to a high load capacity, the Ancon 500 Tension System meets the demanding aesthetic requirements of today’s architectural applications.
