What a big gap there is between advice and help.
D/A 213
There's more to DUR-O-WAL's veneer anchoring system than meets the eye.
You know DUR-O-WAL has everything you're looking for in a veneer anchor.
The D/A 213 holds masonry to steel studs through heavy insulation. Its unique 2-screw design gives you 100% redundancy, each screw capable of carrying 100% of the load.
D/A 801
And the D/A 801 Adjustable Speed Set Anchor provides on-site versatility with proven performance into steel or concrete.
But they're not the whole picture. Take, for example, our new SX screws. The self-tapping carbon steel tip combines with a stainless steel shank to simplify installation and prevent deterioration. Dur-O-Wal also provides an alternative to stainless steel in its corrosion resistant Climaseal screws.
Fiberweb
Then there's our new Fiberweb 300 flashing. Its fiberglass/Mylar"/metal foil construction provides moisture proofing performance that's superior to copper... and far less expensive.
And DUR-O-WAL weep holes help eliminate moisture before it becomes a problem.
In short, DUR-O-WAL has a complete veneer anchoring system that lets you specify DUR-O-WAL's proven quality throughout a single single source for the whole order. For the full story, call your distributor or contact DUR-O-WAL.
