Fixings for Concrete

Cast-in Channel:

Fixing to a cast-in stainless steel channel can speed up installation of Qwik-Fix™ Angle considerably because it negates the need for on site drilling.

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
