When natural or reconstituted stone has been chosen as a cladding

material it is necessary to give consideration to the following key

areas for the purposes of choosing the most appropriate connec-

tion system:

▪ Type of structural material (e.g. concrete/block)

▪ Design of cavity (e.g. ventilated/full fill insulation)

▪ Design of stone joint (e.g. open/closed)

▪ Size of stone (e.g. thickness/panel size)

▪ Design life of building

Once these considerations have been made HALFEN can advise on

the most suitable anchoring method. Included in this catalog are

typical examples of substrates that can be anchored using HALFEN

systems, some of which are illustrated opposite.

HaLFeN -deHa Systems

In 1929 HALFEN started to produce adjustable connection sys-

tems in Germany. Today, HALFEN produces an extensive range

of products for the construction industry which are available

worldwide. HALFEN’s range of anchors for stone façades cater

for both natural and reconstituted stone. They can also accom-

modate a wide variety of backing structures including concrete,

brick or blockwork and metal stud frames. Some of the HALFEN

stone anchors can be combined with other products from the

HALFEN range such as cast-in channels to provide an even more

flexible connection solution. Examples of the systems are pro-

vided to give an overview of how the system will work in typical

situations. Design information is given for individual stone sup-

port systems. Illustrations and photographs of projects that have

been completed using HALFEN stone support systems are shown

throughout.

General Background to dif ferent Stone Façades

Concrete StructuresConcrete structures can be combined with

natural stone façades

▪ Thin Stone

▪ Rainscreen

Blockwork and BrickworkLoad bearing filled and solid blockwork and

brickwork are especially suitable for Grout-in

Anchors whether for

▪ Rainscreen façades or

▪ Thin stone and cavities with or without

insulation.

High loads and large cavities can be accom-

modated

Metal StudStructures with a light weight infill panel

system, which do not allow load bearing

connections between floors, require a load

bearing sub structure for the stone façade.

The sub structure can support:

▪ Thin Stones or

▪ Rainscreen façades

Insulation and large, varying cavities can be

accommodated.

FeaturesEasy to use in conjunction with cast-in chan-

nels for maximum adjustability. For reduced

pre-planning they can be installed with

drilled bolts. Different HALFEN Body Anchor

designs cover many applications from small

to large cavities and from low to high loads.

Benefits▪ Adjustable in three dimensions

▪ Flexible connection methods

▪ Toothed plate and washer: mechanical

load transmission

▪ Independently tested

▪ Small drill holes: time and cost saving,

reduced dust and sound pollution

FeaturesHALFEN Grout-in anchors are a simple and

cost effective way of anchoring stone. Their

tubular cross section allows the anchors to

be used in both vertical or horizontal joints.

Adjustment in three axes is achieved by po-

sitioning of the anchor in the oversize hole.

Benefits▪ Tubular cross-section: good load capacity

in any orientation

▪ Smaller drill-holes compared to flat

anchors

▪ Good adjustability in mortar

▪ Suitable to large cavities and high loads

FeaturesAll HALFEN sub structure systems are ideal

for new buildings and refurbishments. Par-

ticularly suitable for natural stone façades

with large and varying distances to the

load-bearing wall (e.g. rainscreen construc-

tion). Stainless steel is ideal for critical envi-

ronmental conditions with long design life

requirements.

Benefits▪ Adjustable suspended channel system

▪ Minimized fastenings in load bearing

structure: reduce thermal bridging, en-

ergy-loss and pollution when installing

▪ Easy and quick installation

▪ Choice of stainless steel or galvanized

sub structure.

HaLFeN Body aNCHorProduct range

HaLFeN Body anchor

The HALFEN Body Anchor range covers a wide

variety of cavity widths and load capacities.

The anchor consists of two main components;

a body with a vertical slot, and a threaded

spade bolt with dowel pin. The vertical slot

allows for up and down adjustment for

connecting to the structure. The threaded

spade bolt allows in and out adjustment to

accommodate variations in cavity width. The

body is capable of being swivelled up to 15°

either side of vertical thus providing additional

horizontal adjustment.

Body Anchors can be bolted to HALFEN

cast-in channels for maximum adjustment,

or installed using drilled bolts. Using

channels or expanding bolts for connection

to the backing structure allows immediate

loading of the Body Anchor.

All Body Anchors are available in several

configurations with a choice of either full

or half dowel pins. Full dowel pins Ø 3/16”

x 2-3/4” (Ø 5 x 70 mm) have a knurled zone

to prevent the dowel dropping through the

hole in the spade bolt. They are supplied

loose with one sliding sleeve. The dowels

are located by tapping them lightly into the

hole in the spade bolt. Half-dowels pins

Ø 3/16” x 1-3/8” (Ø 5 x 35 mm) are

already attached to the spade bolt at the

factory. Full and half kerf plates are also

available to special order as alternatives to

dowel pins.

Design dimensions can be gathered from

the tables opposite.

Thanks to its tubular cross-section, the

HALFEN UMA anchor is especially suited for

grouting into concrete and for filled/solid

concrete blockwork or brickwork*.

The anchors support vertical and horizontal

load and are available in different designs.

Depending on the design, the anchors

bridge up to 11 - 3/4” (300 mm) and are able

to carry vertical loads up to 891 lbs. (3.96 kN)

Three direction adjustment can be achieved

within the oversize hole drilled in the

structure.

HALFEN UMA anchors are ofter used in

conjunction with HALFEN UHA restraint

anchors, illustrated below.

Each panel is usually connected at four

points. Thermal insulation should be cut out

before drilling the anchor hole. Panels are

usually installed beginning on the left-hand

side of the building. Direction of installation:

from left to right and from the bottom up.

anchoring in vertical jointsStarting installation at the left-hand of the

building:

Using suitable bolt or grout-in anchor

Position the 1st HALFEN anchor under the

left bottom corner of the panel and install

to the structure. Position the 1st natural

stone panel onto the 1st support anchor

and wedge the righthand side.

Fasten the support anchor and restraint

anchor for the 1st vertical joint and adjust.

Re-insert the cut out thermal insulation so it

fits tightly. Push the anchor pin through the

bracket and push it into the sliding sleeve.

Fill the pin holes of the 2nd natural stone

panel with mortar. Then push the 2nd panel

up to the 1st panel. Leave a gap of at least 3⁄32” on the sliding sleeve side.

Fit the next support anchor and restraint

anchor. Adjust and continue with the same

sequence.

The second-last panel is anchored at the

right-hand edge in the vertical joint with

one-way pins. The last natural stone panel at

the right-hand edge of the building is placed

onto 2 support anchors in the horizontal

joint.

Finishing Installation at the right-hand edge

of the building:

anchoring in horizontal joints

First drill holes in the structure for the sup-

port anchors needed for the 1st and 2nd

row of panels. Align support anchors and

fasten to the structure. Re-insert the cut-out

thermal insulation so it fits tightly.

Fill the pin holes of the 1st panel with mor-

tar and place the 1st panel on the bottom

anchors. Supporting the panel, adjust its

2nd row support anchors to leave a gap of

at least 3⁄32” between the top edge of the

panel and the under-side of the 2nd row

support anchors. Push the plastic sliding

sleeve into the top pin holes and push the

anchor pin through the bracket and into the

sleeve below.

Working left to right repeat this procedure

for the 1st row and subsequent rows of

panels.

HALFEN sub structure systems are designed

to transfer the load of the external cladding

to the structural frame of the building.

HALFEN substructures typically consist of a

series of vertical rails spanning floor to floor

which only require restraint at wide vertical

spacings. This reduces the number of con-

nections to the inner skin and consequently

the frequency with which the insulation/wa-

terproofing is breached. Fewer connections

to the inner skin reduces thermal bridging

and pre-installation of the sub structure al-

lows rapid installation of the stone cladding.

For these reasons HALFEN substructures

are typically used as support for rainscreen

and thin stone cladding panels with open or

sealed joints.

HALFEN offers primarily two product lines

for sub structures to accommodate different

conditions and life cycle requirements:

▪ stainless steel structure SUK

▪ aluminum structure UKB

The HALFEN SUK stainless steel structure

is suitable for aggressive environmental

conditions and for high load requirements.

The HALFEN UKB aluminum system is

suitable for refurbishments because of its

light weight and easy installation.

The HALFEN SUK stainless steel substruc-

ture is an adjustable suspended channel

system for cavities ≥ 6-1/4” (≥ 160 mm). It is

particularly suitable for widely varying cavi-

ties. This feature makes it very suitable for

re-cladding projects as well as new

structures.

Structural connections are vertically spaced

approx. 10 feet apart (3.0 m). This facili-

tates fast installation to the slab edge or

concrete backing wall using HALFEN cast-in

channels (for maximum adjustment) or site

drilled bolts. Support and restraint anchors

are continuously variable in height allowing

easy adjustment.

Material: Stainless steel A4 (AISI 316)

HaLFeN NaTUraL SToNe SUB STrUCTUreSHaLFeN UKB aluminum Sub St ructure

The HALFEN UKB sub structure comprises

of vertical aluminum channel sections that

run in the cavity between the structure and

natural stone cladding. Requiring few con-

nections to the structure the system reduc-

es thermal transfer to a minimum. The sub

structure accommodates cavities between

7 7/8” and 12 1/2” (200 and 320 mm) and

provides adjustment of ± 3/4” (± 20 mm) in

all three directions.

The rail is supported on stainless steel

brackets, that have been designed for dead

loads of up to 787 lbs. (3.5 kN).

They are fastened to the structure using

HALFEN cast-in channels or site drilled

bolts.

Stainless steel HALFEN Body Anchors type

BA 606 are used to connect the stone

façade to the vertical channels. Each Body

Anchor supports loads up to 157 lbs. (0.7 kN)

Material: Aluminum

Yield strength = 23 ksi (160 N/mm2)

Tensile strength = 31 ksi (215 N/mm2)

Breaking elongation = 8 %
