Stoneclip load bearing shelf angles
By installing StoneClip shelf angles at each floor level, all of
the dead load of the cladding on each level is transferred down to them (that is the
weight that is not taken up by intermediate adjustable StoneClips in that level of
wall cladding). In actual fact, the intermediate StoneClips carry their own weight
and there should be nil transferred down, but in actual fact this is support from
floor to ceiling is in case of an catastrophe or such like.
When cladding above 5 floors high it is noted that all the intermediate StoneClips
be replaced with StoneClip Shelf Angles and then all dead load in each panel is
carried within itself. When doing this type of cladding, it is advisable to use
lateral pinning when the panel size is greater in depth than 500mm.
These shelf angles are in 4 only sizes as shown below (come with expanding concrete
bolt to suit and must be installed correctly);
- SB-1 suits 20 - 30mm cavity.
- SB-2 suits 35 - 55mm cavity.
- SB-3 suits 55 - 75mm cavity.
- SB-4 suits 80 - 130mm cavity.
