Installing stone panels to a parent structure of masonry, concrete, or stud, requires the use of an anchoring method to attach the stone to the back-up.
Dimensional stone anchoring typically involves the manufacturing of custom anchors. CTP offers a product line of common stone anchor types used for the retention of Terra Cotta and stone panels. All the crimp anchors are manufactured of ASTM type 304 stainless steel strap and are typically used to resist wind load and support stone panels.
Stone anchors for limestone, granite, marble, travertine, etc
are available as Split Tail types (with 2” split-tails for Terra
Cotta and 1” split-tails are stock) used as a common wind load
anchor; L shaped straps with holes for attachment to the back-up
material and to accommodate a stainless dowel (as typically found
in Cap Stone applications); Z type anchors with a hole for back-up
attachment (masonry to masonry or stone anchoring); and U shaped
straps (masonry crimps).
All are 1/8” thick and packaged in a convenient stock keeping
quantity ready for same day shipment anywhere in the United State.
There are also stone anchors for attaching Terra Cotta units
to the parent structure. Both 3/8” and ½” stainless steel J-bolts
and Eye-bolts with nut and washer are in stock. CTP manufactures
the J-Bolts and Eye-bolts with common thread sizes and provides
the longest possible thread length for each length of anchor
available.
The added threading provides a more versatile and
adaptable anchoring solution.
Other size and type stone anchors are available upon request. CTP offers
design assistance and can provide an “Engineered” solution to
a stone anchoring or unique masonry anchoring application. Contact
