Stone Cladding Anchor Systems

Dry-hang anchors, ear plates and adjustable brackets for ventilated stone facades.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Stone Facades, Held From Behind

Ventilated stone cladding fixes panels to the building with discreet anchors rather than full adhesive beds — the standard for office towers, hotels and civic buildings that want natural stone with a drained, ventilated cavity.

The anchor is the invisible workhorse: it carries the panel weight, absorbs movement and must never corrode or loosen over decades.

WHAT THE APPLICATION DEMANDS

Key Technical Requirements

Dead-Load Capacity

Each anchor holds real stone weight — rated geometry and material matter.

Three-Way Adjustment

Anchors need slotted holes for on-site position tuning during install.

Corrosion Resistance

Cavity condensation demands stainless; galvanised options for budget projects.

Slot Compatibility

Anchor profiles must match the aluminium sub-frame slot systems in use.
