Systems For Thin Stone Cladding Marble and Granite

Fixing systems accommodate all types of backing walls whether they are concrete walls, block work & masonry walls or steel structures.

The following points need to be taken into consideration when designing a fixing system for natural stone installation.

Stone dimensions.
Cavity structure; projection size and isolation.
Application type; horizontal or vertical joint installation.
Joint size.
Structural wall backing.
Height of façade.
Relevant dynamic loads such as wind and sesimic loads.
Design criteria of the project.

Laasena proposes and specially designs fixing systems according to each projects requirements. Direct fixing to concrete walls:

Fixing to concrete with bolt anchors using expansion bolts.

F2/F3 Anchor Fixing System

Fixing to concrete with bolts
Projection sizes up to 135mm
Installation at horizontal and vertical joints
Three dimensional adjustability

Laasena is known as a high quality and reliable source for the design and supply of fixing systems in the construction industry. Major projects have been successfully supplied with fischer And Hilti fixing systems. The main advantage of Laasena is the ability to custom design fixing systems and provides fast production to meet the time restraints of the projects. The design and supply is made in accordance with international standards and most of all with the expectations of our clients.

Anchor Support and Restraint Systems

Direct fixing in to concrete walls with expansion bolts.
Indirect fixing on to sub channel system with hex bolts.
Three dimensional adjustability – Quick and easy fixing.
Installation at horizontal and vertical joints.

Installation at Horizontal Joints

Suitable for concrete walls. Anchors are fixed directly on to concrete walls with expansion bolts.
Recommended projection size between 45 mm to 150 mm.
In horizontal joint installation slabs are pinned on the bottom and upper sides. Anchors act as load bearing carrying half the weight of the slabs above. Anchors also act as restraints, holding the slabs below and restraining against wind suction and pressure.
In vertical joint installation slabs are pinned at the left and right sides. Anchors on the bottom are load- bearing anchors carrying the whole weight of the slab. Half the weight of the slab on the left and half the weight of the slab on the right. Anchors on the top are restraint anchors holding the slabs and restraining against wind suction and pressure.
Three – dimensional adjustability allows quick and easy installation.
The design and structural calculations of these anchors are made in our technical department. Special design and manufacturing can be made for the requirements of each project.

Support Anchor

A load bearing anchor. It can be used to install heavier loads at larger projection sizes at horizontal and vertical joints.

Installation at Horizontal Joints

Direct fixing in to concrete walls with expansion bolts.
Indirect fixing on to sub channel systems with hex bolts.
Three dimensional adjustability – Quick and easy fixing.
Installation at horizontal and vertical joints.
Optimum static performance and low engineering for higher loads and larger projection sizes.
Body Anchor Fixing Systems Suitable for concrete walls. Anchors are fixed on to concrete walls with expansion bolts.
Projection sizes between 60 and 260 mm and loads up to 1300 N.
In horizontal installation, slabs are pinned on the bottom and upper sides. The anchors act as load bearing, carrying half the weight of the slabs above. Anchors also act as restraint holding the slabs below and restraining against wind suction and pressure.
In vertical installation, slabs are pinned at the left and right sides. The anchors on the bottom are load-bearing anchors carrying the whole
weight of the slab. Half the weight of the slab on the left and half the weight of the slab on the right. The anchors on the top are restraint anchors holding the slabs and restraining against wind suction and pressure.
Three dimensional adjustability allows quick and easy installation.
The design and structural calculations of these anchors are made in our technical department. Special design and manufacturing can be made for the requirements of the project.

Installation at Horizontal Joints

Grout in Systems for Restraining Granite and Marble Cladding

HRD01 Mortar Anchor

Load bearing & restraint.
Projection sizes between 35 and 100 mm.
Three dimensional adjustability. Suitable for horizontal joints.
Stone thicknesses 20-50 mm.

Systems for Thick Stone Cladding

Laasena produces purpose made brackets for use as supports. These are designed to carry a storey height of stonework with brackets typically spanning between adjacent stones.

Laasena support brackets are manufactures to suit your project. We design these from your project information including the stone sizes, cavity width and height. The brackets are height adjustable and can be drill fixed or fixed into cast-in channels.

Restraint Cramps for Thick Stone Cladding

Multi Hole tie type SFS001.
Multi Hole tie type SFS002.
Fixed with a grout in stud, to enable a wide variety of cavity widths to be catered for.

Flush Support Anchor for Marble and Granite

There are a wide range of anchors available for flush installation into both hard and soft stone types.

Drilling Technology

Fischer & Hilti ﬁxings can supply a wide range of drilling/setting machines to suit every project application from portable drilling equipment to factory based drilling machines with twin drill heads.

Mobile Drilling Equipment for Natural Stone.

Mobile drilling machine for to drill undercut holes into Natural Stone panels for SFS-Anchors. Machine is designed for use at site for special panel sizes, ﬁtting pieces and job lot production.

Support Frame Systems

Laasena offers several choices of support frame to suit the speciﬁc needs of a project.
Laasena provides metal framing systems to give both support and restraint. These typically span ﬂoor to ﬂoor or have intermediate restraints.

Materials used include stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised mild steel. The choice will be dictated by your project weathering requirements. Laasena will design the most cost effective system for your given wind and dead loads.
