Load Capacity Options
- Atlas 10 – supports masonry loads up to 10 kN/m, for cavities between 60mm and 150mm
- Atlas 12 – supports masonry loads up to 12 kN/m, for cavities between 60mm and 150mm
- Atlas 14 – supports masonry loads up to 14 kN/m, for cavities between 60mm and 150mm
Load capacity reduces when the system is fixed back to ACS 31/21 channel. Our Technical Engineering Team will confirm the right configuration for your loading and substrate.

Masonry Support Specials and Bespoke Design
When the standard range can’t accommodate the demands of a project due to high loadings, unusual geometry, cavity constraints or complex movement requirements, our in-house structural engineers design fully bespoke masonry support systems engineered for the specific detail. Share your drawings and loadings with our Technical Engineering Team and we’ll develop a solution to meet the demands of your detail.
Masonry Support CPD
ACS runs a RIBA-accredited CPD on masonry support systems covering when to specify bracket and angle vs continuous angle, fixing configurations across concrete, steel and cast-in channel substrates, cavity and movement detailing. Available online or in person. Book your place, or get in touch to arrange a session for your team.
