Installation of the ALC Solution
The unique engineering of the ALC Solution allows for two primary methods of installation of compatible elements using the ALC Solution anchoring system.
The first – using continuous anchors, or “rails” – has the benefits of reducing the time and increasing the ease of installation.
The second – using individual anchors, or “clips” – has the benefits of reducing the material cost of the anchors, increasing design options, and making the ALC Solution suitable for seismically active areas (please call for specifics).
Installation – Continuous Anchors
- Continuous anchors are screwed to the building’s sheathing.
- Limestone panels and other compatible elements are slid onto the anchors.
- Joints are mortared or caulked using silicone.
Installation – Individual Anchors
- Individual anchors to hold the bottom of the panel or other element are screwed into the building’s sheathing.
- The element is applied, followed by the top anchors which are in turn screwed into the sheathing.
- The joints are mortared or caulked with silicone.
