Mechanical Cladding Fixation

TECHNICAL AND MATERIAL DETAILS

Fixing systems accommodate all type of backing walls whether they are concrete walls, block work & masonry walls or steel structures. Marble and Granite mechanical cladding fixation includes the design, calculation and production of several types of fixings used for cladding purposes.

Products are produced from stainless steel and galvanised steel raw material. Stainless steel grade 304 (A2), 316 (A4), 316L (low carbon) and galvanized ST37 mild steel are available.
