Masonry Support - Cavity Closer


Cavity closer plates may be welded to the underside of the supporting angle to restrict fire progress, air flow and movement of vermin within the cavity. Cavity closer plates may also be required to suit particular window manufacturers' details and they can be perforated to provide an integral plaster key, as shown below.

Qwik-Fix Angle is an innovative 3-way adjustable system for supporting brick or rendered block panels over openings and above horizontal expansion joints. Our bracket and angle approach represents a significant advancement in masonry steel shelf angle design, as it contributes to rapid construction, ensures time and cost savings on site and provides consistently thin expansion joints. By reducing the contact area between the masonry and brick support angle and further providing thermal isolation shims, we significantly reduce thermal bridging associated with shelf angles
