The importance of quality assurance and safety in construction is

constantly growing. The Supervisory and Certifi cation Board of

the State Agency Nuremberg (LGA) issued the quality certifi cate

“LGA Tested Quality” for the HALFEN Body Anchor and HALFEN

Grout-in Anchor. The agency LGA is part of the Technical Inspec-

tion Authority TÜV Rheinland Group. The quality certifi cate is the fi rst independent quality seal for the load bearing capacity, the production and the construction of such kind of façade systems.

Basis of the quality seal is intensive testing carried out by LGA

of the complete documentation, production as well as static

load bearing capacities of the bearing anchors. It is an in-depth and independent quality assurance which not only refers to

the properties of the product.

During the planning phase HALFEN off ers the possibility of a

clean fi xing with quality tested anchors without subsequent

drilling.

Now planers have the possibility of insisting on quality assur-ance of the high-class façade already at an early stage and requesting an independent quality assurance. By introducing the

quality seal HALFEN sets high standards and facilitates the deci-

sion for a cooperation with a quality service provider.

Included in this catalogue are typical examples of backing

structures that can be fi xed to using HALFEN systems, some of

which are illustrated opposite.

Examples of the systems are provided to give an overview

of how the system will work in typical situations. Design

information is given for individual stone support systems.

Illustrations and photographs of projects that have been completed

using HALFEN stone support systems are shown throughout.

Principles which should be considered in the design of a stone

façade are discussed.

Concrete Structures

Concrete structures can be combined with

all kinds of natural stone façade

• Thin Stone

• Rainscreen

• Thick Stone

Blockwork and Brickwork

Loadbearing blockwork and

brickwork are especially suitable for Grout-

in Anchors whether for

• Rainscreen façades or

• Thin stone and

cavities with or without insulation.

High loads and large cavities can be

accommodated

Infi ll Panel System

Structures with a light weight infi ll panel

system, which do not allow load-bearing

fi xings between fl oors, require a load

bearing sub structure for the stone façade.

The sub structure can support:

• Thin Stones or

• Rainscreen facades

Insulation and large, varying cavities can

be accommodated.

In t roduct ion

When natural or reconstituted stone has been chosen as a

cladding material it is necessary to consider to the following key

areas for the purposes of choosing the most appropriate fi xing

system:

1) Type of structural material (e.g. concrete / block)

2) Design of cavity (e.g. ventilated / full fi ll insulation)

3) Design of stone joint (e.g. open /closed )

4) Size of stone (e.g. thickness /panel size)

5) Design life of building

Once these considerations have been made HALFEN can advise

on the most suitable fi xing method.

Benefi ts• Adjustable in three dimensions• Flexible fi xing methods• Toothed plate and washer:

mechanical force transmission• Independently tested• Small drill holes: time and cost

saving, reduced dust and sound pollution

• Can be loaded immediately

FeaturesEasy to use in combination with cast-in

channels for maximum adjustability.

For reduced pre-planning they can be

post fi xed with drilled bolts or HCB Con-

crete Bolts.

Diff erent HALFEN Body Anchor designs

cover all applications from small to large

cavities and from low to high loads.

FeaturesHALFEN Grout-in Anchors are a simple

and cost eff ective way of fi xing stone.

Their tubular cross section gives the same

load capacity whether they are used in

vertical or horizontal joints. Adjustment

in three axes is achieved by positioning

of the anchor in the oversize hole drilled

into the backing structure.

Benefi ts• Approved calculation • Tubular cross-section: same load

capacity in any orientation• Smaller drill-holes compared to fl at

anchors • Good adjustability in mortar • Suitable to large cavities and high

loads • Usable in horizontal and vertical

joints

FeaturesAll HALFEN Sub Structure Systems are

ideal for new buildings and refurbish-

ments. Particularly suitable for natural

stone façades with large and varying

distances to the load-bearing wall (e.g.

rainscreen construction). Ideal for critical

environmental conditions with long de-

sign life requirements.

This is especially the case when high

corrosion-resistance is required.

Benefi ts• Adjustable suspended channel system • Assists in meeting the new

European energy-saving requirements

• Minimized fastenings in load- bearing structure: reduce thermal- bridging, energy-loss and pollutionwhen installing

• Easy and quick installation • Stainless steel, approved

HALFEN Body Anchors

The HALFEN Body Anchor range covers

a wide variety of cavity widths and load

capacities. They consist of two main

components; a ‘u’ or three times canted

shaped body with vertical serrated fi xing

slot and a threaded spade bolt with

dowel pin. The vertical slot allows for up

and down adjustment whilst providing a

positive fi xing through the serrations.

Body Anchor type DT uses a wedge plate

for this adjustment. The threaded spade

bolt allows in and out adjustment to

accommodate variations in cavity width.

The body is capable of being swivelled

up to 15° either side of vertical thus

providing horizontal adjustment.

Body anchors can be fi xed to HALFEN

Cast-in Channels for maximum fl exibility

or post fi xed using drilled bolts allowing

the minimum of pre-planning. Once fi xed

to the backing structure, Body Anchors

are immediately capable of taking load

once the fi xing is set.

The dowel pins have a knurled zone to

prevent the dowel dropping through

the hole in the spade bolt. Dowel pins

Ø 5 x 70 mm (design 1, 3) are supplied

loose with one sliding sleeve. The dowels

are fi xed by tapping them lightly into

the spade drill-hole. The half-dowels

Ø 5 x 35 mm (design 2, 4) are already

fi xed in the spade bolt at the factory.

Design dimensions can be gathered from

the tables. Apart from the standard

designs, the anchors are available with

special brackets, such as e.g. threaded

anchors for closing panels.

HALFEN HRM/HRC Body Anchor

HALFEN Body Anchors

The HALFEN HRM/HRC Body Anchors

consist of the same components but are

diff erent in the way they are assembled.

Both versions consist of the body with

its three folds, pre-fi tted adjustment nut,

washer, the threaded spade bolt and the

counter nut.

In the Body HRM version, the threaded

spade bolt has been pre-assembled on

the body, together with the counter nut;

in the HRC version, the parts are sup-

plied separately. In addition, there is a

distinction between versions HRM/HRC

(with toothed washer) and HRM/

HRC…-P (without toothed washer/fl at).

The HRM/HRC Body Anchors are

intended for small widths from 40 to

130 mm and small loads up to 500 N.

The special advantage of these anchors is

the fact that the adjustment nut can be

turned, which makes it possible to adjust

the depth even when the threaded space

bolt has already been fi tted.

The HALFEN BA Body Anchor has been

designed for short projections of 60 mm

to 120 mm and large loads up to 1300 N.

It consists of a rugged base body, a

toothed washer and a threaded spade

bolt.

To fi x the natural stone cladding, the

Body Anchors are fi tted in accordance

with the installation instructions in the

horizontal or vertical joint of the backing

structure. The BA Body Anchor can be

adjusted in height with the help of the

vertical oblong hole and the serration.

The depth can be adjusted by turning the

threaded spade bolt in or out. Lateral ad-

justment (→ see page 9) of the BA Body

Anchor is also possible by swivelling

sideways. Major benefi ts of the BA Body

Anchor are its rugged base body and

ease of installation.

HALFEN UMA Anchor is especially suited

for grouting into concrete ≥ C12/15

(B15) and for concrete blockwork or

brickwork M 12 / lla* but can be just

as well suited for use in concrete. The

anchors provide the same loadbearing ca-

pacity both when used in a horizontal or

in a vertical joint and are available in dif-

ferent designs. Depending on the design,

the anchors bridge up to 300 mm and

are able to carry loads up to 3.8 kN.

Temporary support may be necessary for UMA Anchors

Support anchors

It is usual to start the installation of the

panels on the left-hand corner of the

building. Direction of installation: from

left to right and from the bottom up.

Use suitable anchors for dowel-fi xing or

mortar-fi xing and fi t the anchors. Place

the fi rst natural stone panel onto the fi rst

support anchor and support the right-

hand side from the temporary support.

Fix the Support Anchor and the Restraint

Anchor for the fi rst vertical joint and

carry out the fi ne adjustment for the

panel. Put the thermal insulation back

into place so that no gaps are left. Push

the anchor pin through the hole in the

spade bolt and into the sliding sleeve. Fill

the pin holes of the second natural stone

panel with mortar. Then push the second

panel against the fi rst one. Allow a gap

of at least 2 mm on one side (on the

side of the sliding sleeve).

Starting the installation at the left-hand Fix the Support Anchors and Restraint

Drill the holes for the dowels in the fi rst

and second panel row. Fix the lower row

of support anchors. Put the thermal insu-

lation back into its correct place.

Grout in the fi xing holes with mortar and

place the fi rst row of panels onto the

Fix the Support Anchors for the second

row of panels and make any fi ne adjust-

ments to the fi rst row of panels. Allow

a gap of at least 2 mm between the top

edge of the lower row and the bottom

edge of the support anchor for the sec-

ond row of panels.

Push the anchor pin through the hole in

the spade bolt and into the sliding sleeve

underneath. Then install the second row

of panels and proceed as before.

For further details refer to DIN 18516, part 3 and our installation instructions.

Generally, natural stone panels are fi xed at four points. Before drilling the fi xing hole, the thermal insula-tion should be cut out.

HALFEN Sub St ructure Sys tems

All HALFEN Sub Structure Systems are

designed to transfer the load of the

external cladding to the structural frame

of the building. HALFEN Sub Structures

typically consist of a series of vertical

rails spanning fl oor to fl oor which only

require restraint at quite wide vertical

spacings. This minimizes the number

of connections to the inner skin and

consequently the frequency with which

the insulation / waterproofi ng is breached.

For this reason they are typically used

as backing structure for rainscreen and

thin stone cladding panels with open or

mastic-pointed joints.

Fewer connections to the inner skin

reduces thermal bridging thus assisting

in the achievement of the new European

energy saving requirements.

The advance erection of the frame

ensures rapid installation of the stone

cladding.

HALFEN off ers primarily two product

lines for sub structures to accommodate

diff erent situations and life cycle

requirements:

• SUK Stainless Steel Structures

• UKB / UKH Aluminium Structures

The HALFEN SUK Stainless Steel Struc-ture is suitable for durable constructions

in diffi cult environmental conditions and

for high load requirements.

The HALFEN UKB System is suitable for

refurbishments because of its light weight

and easy post fi x installation.

The HALFEN UKH System supports the

use of undercut fi xing technology which

can enable a reduction in the stone panel

thickness (subject to calculation) and

easy replacement of damaged panels.

HALFEN Sta in less Stee l Sub St ructure

The HALFEN SUK System is an adjustable

suspended channel system with support

and restraint anchors that are continuous-

ly variable in height, for cavity ≥ 160 mm.

It is ideal for new builds and refurbish-

ments. Particularly suited for

natural stone façades with large and var-

ying distances to the load-bearing wall.

The system is easy to install with few,

simple components.

Fastening to slab edges, steel structures,

ceiling joists or concrete walls spaced

approx. 3.0 m apart (height between

fl oors), on HALFEN channels for maxi-

mum adjustment or with drilled bolts.

Widely spaced fi xings facilitate a speedy

mounting of the stainless steel sub struc-

ture and thus also a quick installation of

the natural stone panels.

HALFEN Aluminium Sub St ructure

The HALFEN UKB System is a continu-

ously variable aluminium sub structure,

with vertical aluminium channel sections

running in the ventilated cavity between

structure and natural stone rainscreen

or sealed cavity of thin stone claddings.

This type of construction reduces thermal

conductivity to a minimum.

The customer fastens the HALFEN Body

Anchors type BA 606 on the vertical

channels from the front using either bolts

self-drill and tap screws.

The UKB Sub Structure accommodates

cavities between 200 and 320 mm and

adjustments of ±20 mm in all three direc-

tions. The Rail Support Brackets, made

of stainless steel 1.4571/AISI 316 (A4)

have been designed for dead loads of up to 3.500 N. They are fastened to HALFEN

Channels or to the supporting structure

using site drilled bolts.

Depending on environmental conditions

protections against contact corrosion

have to be taken e.g. with separating

tape.

HALFEN Aluminium Sub St ructure

With the HALFEN UKH it is possible to

accomodate cavities of up to 350 mm.

The vertical aluminium channel sections

and the crosswise running torsion-resist-

ant rectangular aluminium hollow sec-

tions are connected on site with joining

brackets using self-drill and tap screws.

As the horizontal rails slide freely within

the rail support bracket, temperature

stresses are avoided. The Stainless Steel

Support Brackets have been designed

for dead loads of up to 3.500 N. They

are fastened to HALFEN Channels or to

the supporting structure using site drilled

bolts.

The panels are attached to the UKH

using aluminium support and restraint

brackets that are fi xed to the natural

stone slab using undercut bolts, without

the anchoring parts being visible. Should

any of the panels be damaged, they can

be easily replaced by raising the panels

above, allowing the damaged panel to

be removed. The sub structure is pro-

vided with an in and out adjustment of

±30 mm and the façade sub structure can

be installed at any position by means of

the fastenings. The support fastenings of

the slabs enable an additional fi ne adjust-

ment of the slabs.

It is usual to fi x natural stone panels at

4 points to the backing structure, using

2 Support Anchors and 2 Restraint

Anchors. Natural stone façades with

a thickness of more than 90 mm are

constructed like facing brickwork, laying

stone on stone; this type of natural stone

cladding only requires structural support

at the base. Only higher façades require

intermediate fi xings. In addition, natural

stone cladding is anchored with Cavity

Wall Ties.

HALFEN Support Brackets are used to

support normal masonry cladding at the

base and over large openings. The Sup-

port Brackets take up the load from the

masonry cladding and transfer it to the

load-bearing reinforced concrete structure

(as an example). The HK4 Support Brack-

ets allow continuous adjustment, thus

making installation easy and safe.

The Support and Restraint Angles for

reveals provide a signifi cant improvement

of the joint between support and reveal

panels, especially when using natural

stone. The time-consuming and structu-

rally problematic bonding and pinning

process can be omitted. Façade panels

can be installed quickly, simply and

effi ciently at the works or on site.

The Reveal Angles can be adjusted up to

± 5 mm; besides, the support and reveal

panels can be installed with open joints.

The panels are fi xed with Support and

Restraint Anchors in order to avoid

stresses inside the panels.

Scaff olding Anchors should be designed

and installed in such a way that it is pos-

sible to put up and take down a work

scaff olding, without problems, immedi-

ately or at a later date.

The position of the Scaff olding Anchors

should be considered as part of the de-

sign in accordance with DIN 4420. The

position depends on the type of scaff old-

ing, the anchoring grid of the scaff olding

and, in the case of natural stone façades,

on the joint pattern of the façade panels.

HALFEN Scaff olding Anchor type

GE-HB/VB and HGA-F consist of the base

body in stainless steel A4 and the galva-

nised steel straps which can be inserted

and removed. The base body is anchored

permanently to the backing structure and

is behind the façade panel.

The anchors should be positioned where

the straps can be inserted from the front

through the horizontal or vertical panel

joints into the base body. The straps con-

sist of two parts with one strap with a

hook being held in position by the other

strap.

The scaff olding is fi xed to the hole in

the strap. The anchor forces from the

scaff olding are transferred through the

strap with the transferable forces of the

Scaff olding Anchor referring to the centre

of the hole in the strap.

The Scaff olding Anchors transfer tensile

and compression forces (Fh = horizontal

at right angles to the backing structure)

and horizontal shear forces (Fs = horizon-

tal parallel to the backing structure).

Construction details from DIN 18 516, part 3

Anchor pinsThe anchor pins engage in the holes

drilled for the pins into the edge faces

of the panels. The holes are about

3 mm larger than the diameter.

Edge distanceThe standard distance from the corner

of the panel to the centre of the hole is

2.5 times the thickness of the panel.

The distance to the face of the panel

must not be less than 15 mm.

It follows that the minimum panel

thickness is ≥ 30 mm.

The design of natural stone anchor fi x-

ings is based on details shown in a) to e).

This allows fast and thorough processing

and an economic method for fi xing the

natural stone panels.
