Cladding Fixation

Cladding and facing fixing division perform an important role among building construction projects.

Fixing anchor whether they are for pre-cast concrete, marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, metal or other cladding can provide an optimized solution for ease of application and structural stability.

MMICO Cladding fixing systems are manufactured and supplied in various materials according to the required system to suit.

The catalogue shows the various types with their physical and mechanical characteristics, and for situations where a special fixing is required.

Principles for the Fixing of Building Cladding

Fixing systems for building claddings are composed of several elements (angles, expansion bolts, screws, nuts, washers, etc), each of which shall present the appropriate mechanical features in respect to the requirements posed by the specific project .

Any type of cladding, once fixed, is subject to two primary types of load:

- The permanent load (the dead load), due to the weight of the cladding itself;
- The variable load (applied loads), due to the wind, thermal expansions, seismic motions, etc.

Two fundamental types of fixing systems result:

-Load-bearing fixing: to support the permanent load and the vertical components of the variable loads.
-Restraining fixing: to support the horizontal components of the variable loads.
Load-bearing fixing are usually composed by angles (of adequate dimensions), firmly fixed to the building by the opportunely selected anchoring element complete with expansion anchors and relative bolts.
