Channel Systems

ACS channel systems cover both masonry restraint and masonry support. The 25/15 FrameFix™ Ultra Channel ties brickwork to SFS and concrete frames, while the 31/21 Axis Curve and 21/19 Apex cast-in channels remove the need for site drilling. Each is tested as a complete assembly of channel, ties and fixings, and is available for quick delivery. FrameFix™ and Axis Curve are CCPI-assessed.
