Masonry walls

Masonry walls tied to concrete columns: Typically dovetail anchor slots are cast into the concrete column, and anchors are installed into the masonry walls. Channel Slot Systems or various two-piece systems can be used on columns

Anchor Types

Unlike the corrugated sheet metal anchors, these anchors are pre-bent in the factory and provide a much greater compressive strength. The Sheet metal anchors can be used only with wood-frame backups.
