Masonry support
A facade support system can be attached to a wall of a structure to support a veneer on the wall. A bracket of the support system that can be attached to the wall includes a connecting plate and a mounting member. A support attached to the connecting plate can be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer. A standoff positioned for engagement with the wall is selectively attachable to the connecting plate in different locations for maintaining a substantially horizontal position of the support. In some instances the mounting member may have detents engageable with detents on a washer. In other instances both the connecting plate and the mounting member include detents.
FACADE FASTENING SYSTEM
A fastening arrangement for anchoring facade panel elements includes a substructure on a building shell and a plurality of facade panel elements. The fastening arrangement has an adhesive component and a mechanical securing component. The fastening arrangement is characterized in that per facade panel element, at least two securing straps are provided as mechanical securing components, each having at least two fastening points. At least one fastening point of the two securing straps has a sliding point which uses an oblong hole. Furthermore, the longitudinal extent of this oblong hole defines an axis which is tilted at an angle of between 5 and 20 relative to the vertical axis. The fastening arrangement is constructed by preparing the substructure and at least one facade panel element for fastening, attaching the securing straps to the facade element and applying an adhesive component. After aligning and attaching the facade element to the substructure, the securing straps are attached to the substructure, with one attachment point of a first securing strap being the sliding point, and after fastening of the sliding point, the oblong hole is tilted at an angle of between 5 and 20 with respect to the vertical axis.
Ledger
A ledger configured for attaching to a structure, such as a house or building, is described. The ledger comprises first and second walls, a first ledge joining the first and second walls, and a second ledge also joining the first and second walls. The first and second walls and the first and the second ledges define a channel that separates the first and second walls and separates the first and second ledges. The channel is open at both a first side of the ledger, and a second side of the ledger opposite the first side of the ledger. In some implementations, the ledger further includes a third ledge. The first and second ledges join the second wall on a first side of the second wall. The third ledge is disposed on a second side of the second wall opposite the first side of the second wall.
Support bracket apparatus
A support assembly supports external veneer such as face-brick. A bracket mounts to a load bearing wall support structure. A shelf angle includes a horizontal leg that defines a surface upon which to mount the veneer. The mounting bracket may be a channel having a seat that includes an outwardly protruding toe, an accommodation for the shelf angle, and an overhanging finger. The back of the shelf angle may have apertures to admit the toes of the mounting bracket. The seat includes an oversized slot having a relief angle to permit the shelf angle web to be rotated angularly during assembly. The mounting bracket has an overhanging arm for engaging the part of a cross-wise running beam, such as an I-beam upper flange. The mounting bracket has an abutment for contacting a lower part of the beam, such as a lower flange of an I-beam. There is a fitting to secure the bracket to the beam.
Support bracket assembly and method
A support assembly for external veneer has a mounting bracket fixedly mounted to a load bearing wall, and a shelf angle. The shelf angle includes a horizontal leg surface upon which to mount veneer members. The mounting bracket may be a channel. The legs of the channel may have seats. The seats have a protruding toe. The back of the shelf angle may admit the toes of the mounting bracket. The toes may be shy of the bottom of the shelf angle. The seat may includes an oversized slot to permit the shelf angle web to be rotated angularly during assembly. The legs of the bracket may be long, to permit the seat to hang down well below the mounting. The legs of the bracket may be perforated to reduce heart transfer.
Support for fastening facade elements
The invention relates to a support for fastening fa?ade elements of fa?ades, in particular curtain-type, rear-ventilated fa?ades, comprising a wall fastening segment, which is designed for mounting the support to a building wall, and a fa?ade fastening segment, which is designed for the mounting of supporting profiled elements or mounting profiled elements, wherein the fa?ade fastening segment has a first connection segment for the horizontal mounting of supporting profiled elements or mounting profiled elements and a second connection segment for the vertical mounting of supporting profiled elements or mounting profiled elements, which is arranged perpendicularly to the first connection segment.
SUPPORT BRACKET APPARATUS
A support assembly supports external veneer such as face-brick. A bracket mounts to a load bearing wall support structure. A shelf angle includes a horizontal leg that defines a surface upon which to mount the veneer. The mounting bracket may be a channel having a seat that includes an outwardly protruding toe, an accommodation for the shelf angle, and an overhanging finger. The back of the shelf angle may have apertures to admit the toes of the mounting bracket. The seat includes an oversized slot having a relief angle to permit the shelf angle web to be rotated angularly during assembly. The mounting bracket has an overhanging arm for engaging the part of a cross-wise running beam, such as an I-beam upper flange. The mounting bracket has an abutment for contacting a lower part of the beam, such as a lower flange of an I-beam. There is a fitting to secure the bracket to the beam.
Masonry support apparatus
A masonry support apparatus supports a wall of brick or other masonry material in a building, provides a thermal break between the wall and a concrete floor of the building, and secures insulation material between the wall and the floor. The masonry support apparatus comprises an elongated longitudinally extending support member, at least one insulation bracket assembly extending rearwardly from the support member for securing an insulation block, and at least one concrete anchor extending rearwardly from the insulation bracket assembly for securing to a concrete floor. The support member, insulation bracket assembly and concrete anchor are permanently joined together to form a unitary structure.
Heat-insulating console for joining a facade to a building wall
A console for joining a faade to a building wall (100), including a metal wall part (1) for mounting on the building wall, a metal faade part (2) for joining to the faade, and a bridge part (3) that joins the faade part (2) to the wall part (1), whereby the bridge part (3) includes a plastic material and it forms a heat barrier between the wall part (1) and the faade part (2) is provided. The bridge part is an injection-molded part made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and in that the bridge part (3) is injection-molded around the wall part (1) and the faade part (2) so as to encapsulate them in certain areas.
MASONRY SUPPORT
A facade support system can be attached to a wall of a structure to support a veneer on the wall. A bracket of the support system that can be attached to the wall includes a connecting plate and a mounting member. A support attached to the connecting plate can be disposed in a mortar bed joint of the veneer. A standoff positioned for engagement with the wall is selectively attachable to the connecting plate in different locations for maintaining a substantially horizontal position of the support. In some instances the mounting member may have detents engageable with detents on a washer. In other instances both the connecting plate and the mounting member include detents.
