Masonry Support Design - Restraint Detail

 

Soft joints do not provide restraint for the brickwork below, so sliding brick anchors fixed to the soffit are essential. Above the angle, care must be taken to ensure that the brickwork does not bow and transfer the load to the outer edge/toe of the angle. Wall ties are therefore essential no more than 300mm above and below the shelf angle.

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
