Blind Fixing:

When fixing to blind box section, Qwik-Fix recommends the use of the peg bolt, which is at least as strong as a standard bolt and can be installed very efficiently.

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
