Collaborating for Success
When Gilbert-Ash took on a challenging build, they turned to ACS for a masonry support system that could meet intricate design requirements while improving efficiency. Our team worked closely with their design team providing technical guidance to integrate the Intex™ 4-in-1 Masonry Support System into the project plans.
A key aspect of this project was fire safety. To achieve the highest standards of compliance, ACS collaborated with Tenmat, a leading manufacturer of passive fire protection solutions. Together, we’ve developed the Intex™ system which includes a high-performance intumescent that delivers reliable fire-stopping performance without compromising design or efficiency.
Additionally, the Intex™ system is KIWA certified and boasts a 60-year design life, encompassing the entire system, including the open state cavity barrier.
The Intex™ Advantage
The Intex™ 4-in-1 Masonry Support System combines four critical components into one system:
- Masonry Support: Providing robust support for complex brickwork designs.
- Cavity Tray: Ensuring effective moisture management and long-term performance.
- Wall Ties: High-strength, corrosion-resistant ties designed to securely connect the masonry façade to the structural frame, ensuring long-term stability and compliance with industry standards.
- Fire Protection: Integrated fire-stopping intumescent materials from Tenmat for maximum safety.
This all-in-one solution not only reduces the number of trades required on-site but also accelerates installation time, cutting costs and improving build efficiency.
