STONEMEC™

Cavity Extension Bracket

An autonomous hidden stone support system meticulously crafted to seamlessly transmit load from your facade surface to the core of your building.

Experience unrivalled adaptability with the innovative fully adjustable bracket and attachment feature of STONEMEC™ and STONEMEC Plus™, allowing for the independent movement of your building's facade. This not only ensures structural stability but also guarantees a visually striking aesthetic.

  • 50+ year lifespan

  • Recyclable

  • Coastal & seismic environment

  • Thermal & acoustic advantages

  • Retrofit over existing structure

The Cavity Extension Bracket is meticulously designed to provide grid support to each stone, effectively mitigating the transfer of load or stress to and from the substrate.

Beyond its durable build, as a component added to our existing systems it enhances thermal performance, controls moisture, reduces fixing point to substrates and champions sustainability. Ideal for out-of-plumb structures, its adaptability and outsulation depth adjustability redefine design possibilities. 

Elevate your projects with precision, strength, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Learn How It Works

STRUKTEC™ Cavity consists of “L” & “T” sections that run vertically the full length of a building installation, with substrate fixing slots every 100mm for easy attachment & thermal release.

The front "T" section serves as a vertical bracing and facade panel frame which creates a plane. Slots in both “L” & “T” elements allow for minor adjustment to bring the T section into line if the substrate is out of plumb. The “L” sections are finished with high-grade anodizing for durability and longevity, while the “T” section may be coloured to suit in powder coat or anodize.

The facade surface is bonded to the front face of the “T” section using a select chemical adhesion system. This type of adhesion allows for permanent, continuous elastic movement capability across the facade surface, thus alleviating everyday climatic & environmental tension or stress within the surface, due to coefficient of expansion between substrate & all elements.

A helpful alternative where fully bonded systems may be at risk due to existing substrate incompatibility or everyday environmental or seismic movement.

STRUKTEC™ Cavity has been installed in climatic conditions across New Zealand’s North and South Islands for 7 years without any signs of maintenance required.
