Ancon Thermal Breaks Masonry support Systems from Ancon can now be supplied with Thermal Breaks to minimise heat loss through cold bridging, and improve the energy efficiency of your building project. Shaped like a standard Ancon key-hole shim, these Thermal Breaks are designed to locate quickly and easily between the support bracket and the structural frame. They are manufactured from a durable fibre-reinforced thermoset plastic, which has a thermal conductivity of just 0.3W/mK*. icon Thermal Breaks Low thermal conductivity High compressive strength Water- and flame-resistant Easy to...

Ancon Thermal Breaks can be used singularly or as part of a shim pack. When used in conjunction with stainless steel shims, the Thermal Break should be located against the structure. Care should be taken not to exceed the maximum shimming allowance. Specifying and Ordering The standard Ancon Thermal Break, as illustrated overleaf, can be ordered using the product code 'BK03-135'. This product is suitable for standard AnconOptima support brackets and most Ancon MDC-type brackets. Thermal Breaks can be specified with a support system using the suffix 'BK03': MDC / Cavity / Masonry Load /...

Standard AnconOptima System Fixed to CombiDeck Edge Trim MASONRY SUPPORT SYSTEMS Structures with brick or stone cladding will usually necessitate the use of a stainless steel support system for the masonry. Bracket Angle Support System AnconOptima is unlike welded systems, the brackets and angles are supplied as separate components. This provides greater flexibility in the final fixing position of the brackets and makes the system easier to handle on site. Standard systems are available to support a masonry load of up to 14kN/m. Brackets for these systems are stocked to suit cavities from...

Installation Installation of AnconOptima provides significant time savings over welded support systems. The individual components are easier to move around site, often without hiring crane time. The preferred technique of installers is to level and fix two brackets and simply slide the angle into position. This reduces the time spent tightening and loosening the fixing bolts of a welded bracket system, in order to achieve a level horizontal shelf. Where space limitations prevent the angle from sliding, the brackets can be positioned on the angle and conventionally fixed; the smaller lengths...
