Stone Support and Restraint Systems

A brief introduction to CFS

Quality, innovation, support These three words are at the heart of everything CFS provides to the cast stone industry, and remain as true today as when the business was first founded back in 2000 by Tim Chart. The goal of CFS is simple: provide an enhanced level of service within the existing market, while always deliver cost-effective, technically brilliant solutions that resolve any application problem. Making this goal a reality is only possible through the drive, passion and commitment of the whole CFS team, who for over a decade have held the Companys philosophy true: However, the company is forever pushing to develop new products to meet the needs of an ever-changing industry. Product quality is also key to CFS continued success, which is why the company is proud to be ISO 9001 certified. Testing and technical support CFS is a member of the LEEA Association (Lifting Equipment Engineers Association) and fully understands the importance of on-site testing for both safety reasons and for peace of mind. CFS can also provide rapid technical backup for the many products provided, while full AutoCAD drawing services are available. Furthermore, CFS has the services of qualified engineers to assist with all projects and carries professional indemnity. Recent CFS projects include: Castle Quay Development - Jersey Water Front; Basinghall Avenue - London; Gloucester Quays St. Ann Way; Charles Le Quesne Seaton Place, St. Hellier.

Natural Stone Fixing Systems

Systems For Thin Stone Cladding Marble and Granite Fixing systems accommodate all types of backing walls whether they are concrete walls, block work & masonry walls or steel structures. The following points need to be taken into consideration when designing a fixing system for natural stone installation. Stone dimensions. Cavity structure; projection size and isolation. Application type; horizontal or vertical joint installation. Joint size. Structural wall backing. Height of facade. Relevant dynamic loads such as wind and sesimic loads. Design criteria of the project. F2/F3 Anchor Fixing System Fixing to concrete with bolts Projection sizes up to 135mm Recommended for loads up to 800 N  Installation at horizontal and vertical joints Three dimensional adjustability F2 F3 CFS is known as a high quality and reliable source for the design and supply of fixing systems in the construction industry. Major projects have been successfully supplied with fischer fixing systems. The main advantage of CFS is the ability to custom design fixing systems and provide fast production to meet the time restraints of the projects. The design and supply is made in accordance with international standards and most of all with the expectations of our clients. F2 Anchors used to install slabs on to concrete walls. F4 Anchors used to install slabs on to blockwork walls. CFS proposes and specially designs fixing systems according to each projects requirements. Direct fixing to concrete walls: Fixing to concrete with bolt anchors using expansion bolts.

 Suitable for concrete walls. Anchors are fixed directly on to concrete walls with expansion bolts.  Recommended projection size between 45 mm to 135 mm and loads up to 800 N.  In horizontal joint installation slabs are pinned on the bottom and upper sides. Anchors act as load bearing carrying half the weight of the slabs above. Anchors also act as restraints, holding the slabs below and restraining against wind suction and pressure.  In vertical joint installation slabs are pinned at the left and right sides. Anchors on the bottom are loadbearing anchors carrying the whole weight of the slab. Half the weight of the slab on the left and half the weight of the slab on the right. Anchors on the top are restraint anchors holding the slabs and restraining against wind suction and pressure.

 Three - dimensional adjustability allows quick and easy installation.  The design and structural calculations of these anchors are made in our technical department. Special design and manufacturing can be made for the requirements of each project.

CFS provides metal framing systems to give both support and restraint. These typically span floor to floor or have intermediate restraints. Materials used include stainless steel, aluminium and galvanised mild steel. The choice will be dictated by your project weathering requirements. CFS will design the most cost effective system for your given wind and dead loads. StructureEasy Structure provides an alternative support solution to the Fischer SystemOne framework. The system is particularly cost effective when the height of the faade panels is reduced. This enables sharing of horizontal components between faade panels. The system also has a hook on feature for easy mounting of the faade panels.

*M8W denotes a fixing suitable for soft stone groups.
