The undercut anchor out of stainless steel for a concealed stand-off installation solution for façade panels out of natural stone or artificial concrete.This technology defines a constant distance between the front of the panel to the connection face on the FZP II anchor (RWT = remainig wall thickness) as a reference dimension for drilling. This technology can be used to compensate panel thicknesses. A completely flat façade surface is created.
Advantages
Using a constant remaining wall thickness as a reference value when drilling holes allows users to compensate panel thickness tolerances.
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.
Exterior façades with high aesthetic requirements
Interior façades with high aesthetic requirements
Building materials
Natural stone (>20mm)
Artificial concrete panels
Functionality
The hole is drilled to a constant reference dimension for the remaining wall thickness (RWT).
The anchor is set through stand-off installation.
The compensation of panel thickness tolerances results in a completely flat façade surface.
Wet diamond drilling: first cylindrical, then conical - to create the undercut. #Inserting the undercut anchor in the cylindrical-conical undercut hole
