HALFEN HK5 Anchors have higher load capacities and require less steel than its predecessor.
Brickwork façades are aesthetically appealing and cost-effective; this type of façade is durable and offers long-term protection against noise, heat and cold, and effect of weather: This is the reason that this type of façade is still in demand for new build and regeneration projects. HALFEN Bracket supports ensure permanent and safe brick façades; they are used to support the weight of brickwork renders and transfer the load into the main support structure.
Lower heat transfer than ever before
Brickwork supports penetrate the insulation and cause localised thermal bridging. The improved HK5 support bracket can now significantly reduce the effect of thermal bridging. Its optimised shape means less steel is required, especially, where it is critical: When HK5 penetrates the insulation of the building. The HK5 Bracket support takes full advantage of Lean duplex, a class III corrosion resistance stainless steel. The new design and selective choice of materials means HK5 achieves expert report certified top chi values. These values are made available in a user-friendly table for easy use. Further chi values for custom wall design or special insulation materials are available on request. This helps to reduce insulation thickness and therefore to increase the usable floor space.
