Load bearing shelf angles from StoneClip
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.
