The undercut anchor with a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic sleeve for a concealed flush installation solution for heavy façade panels out of natural stone or artificial concrete. These are fixed with a consistent drill hole depth aligned to the back of the panel. This type of fixing technology is used e.g. with calibrated façade panels or for reveal angle installation.
Advantages
The flush-mounting technology of the undercut anchor allows an easy, economical handling of reveals.
The matching shape of the undercut anchor creates a inter-locking and stress-free fixing in the conical undercuted drill hole.
The fixing is not externally visible, creating a visually appealing façade surface.
Setting the anchor using undercut technology allows the user to select the best structural position in the façade panel. This significantly reduces the bending moment of the panel.
The anchor allows higher failure loads compared to common systems.
Applications
Exterior façades
Interior façades
Façade reveals
Natural stone heating systems
Building materials
Natural stone (>20mm)
Artificial concrete panels
Functionality
The drill hole is drilled with an absolute anchoring depth.
Flush installation of the anchor.
Wet diamond drilling: first cylindrical, then conical - to create the undercut. #Inserting the undercut anchor in the cylindrical-conical undercut hole
Expanding the undercut anchor by "pressing down" the washer using the setting tools
Stress-free and geometrical inter-locking fixing
