Cladding Clamps are important components used for securing and installing exterior wall materials on buildings, especially widely applied in modern curtain wall systems. As key elements that fix stone materials to the main structure through a dry installation process, they include various types of metal fittings. These dry stone cladding clamps feature different designs that create distinct dry hanging methods, such as butterfly types (including upward/downward flip and double flip styles), welded types (such as “T” fittings), back bolt types, and SE series types.
Detailed Explanation of 8 Types of Stone Dry Hangers
Next, we will provide a detailed introduction to eight different types of stone cladding clamps. Each type varies in design, material, and application scenario, offering architects and construction professionals a wide range of options.
#1 Double Hook Dry Cladding Clamps
The double hook dry cladding clamps is a type of vertically connected hanger, often used together with T shaped welded fittings as a preferred option for stone dry hanging. Its main advantage lies in its ability to ensure safety while shortening the construction period compared to back bolt systems. However, its disassembly and replacement are relatively inconvenient, which can be a potential drawback in practical applications.
#2 T shape Welded Clamps
The T shape Welded Clamps has similar advantages and disadvantages with the double hook Cladding Clamps. Its distinctive feature lies in the slim base design, which provides better protection for thin stone materials. However, like the double hook cladding clamps, it also presents some inconvenience when it comes to disassembly and replacement.
#3 Tilted Bracket
The tilted bracket is typically installed at the bottom or top level of a building. Its function is to provide two additional fixing points for the stone, forming a total of four stable support points that further enhance overall stability. This bracket is often used together with components such as double-hook or welded fittings to ensure the stone’s firmness and safety.
#4.Stone L Angle Bracket
Using stone L angle brackets can simplify the installation process by eliminating the need for a keel structure, thereby saving both space and cost. However, their safety performance may be slightly lower compared to systems with keels. These brackets are mainly suitable for small scale projects, such as indoor dry hanging installations or stone background walls, and are also known as point hanging systems.
#5 and#6 Stone Angle Hook and Angle Welded Bracket
For small projects with relatively flat wall surfaces, such as indoor dry hanging or background wall installations, stone angle hooks and angle welded brackets can be used to simplify the installation process. This method can even eliminate the need for angle brackets altogether, further optimizing installation efficiency. However, it’s important to note that this approach requires a certain degree of wall flatness.
#7 and #8 Flat Plates(single hole and double hole)
Flat plates include single hole and double hole. Flat plates serve as functional auxiliary hangers that play an important role during installation. When the hanger length is insufficient, a double hole flat plate can be used for extension to meet the installation requirements. Additionally, if there is minor unevenness on the wall surface, the flat plate can assist in leveling and ensure installation accuracy.
