A brief introduction to CFS

Quality, innovation, support
These three words are at the heart of everything CFS
provides to the construction 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:
Analysis Discussion Action Result

Quality products you can trust
Ideally suited to concrete, steel or composite structures,
the highly innovative CFS product range includes includes
cast-in inserts, brickwork support systems, windposts,
brick ties and head restraints to cover all your brick
facade requirements.

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 fully understands the importance of on-site testing
for both safety reasons and piece 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.

Benefits of Brickwork Support Systems

METLOC non-welded systems are fully
assembled, ready for fixing. Support angles are
pre-punched so that backleg centres are easily
altered to suit different load conditions.
Simple to cope with varying cavity dimensions
by using different backleg projections.
Laser produced products providing superb
quality and accuracy.
METLOC system provides great flexibility, making
it easy to deal with unforeseen site problems.
Slots allow varying backleg centres
Economical and quick to fix.

Suitable for drill fixing or fixing to cast in
channel with serrated patches for height
adjustment.
Design support by qualified engineers.
Construction Products Regulation (CPR) 305/211/EC
Fixing Sockets are covered by the
Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
as they are structural steel construction
components for the permanent works
(ie not used temporarily for construction purposes).
The CE marking on our fixing products shows that the
item complies with the Construction Products Regulation
and that they are safe to use. The Construction Products
Regulation outlines the process for designing and
marking the steel. Manufacturing is in accordance with
BS EN 1090.
METLOC backleg supports have been independently

tested (Lucideon test report no. 145712)
Brickwork Support Applications
1. By varying support backleg centres (A), differing

heights of brickwork can be accommodated.
2. Typical detail fixed to concrete frame by

cast in channel.
3. Typical detail fixed to concrete frame by drill fixing.
4. Typical detail fixed to steel frame.
5. Optional cavity closing plate.
6. Optional support hanger for concealed brickwork.
Design Considerations
Drill Fixed - for Post Fixing to Existing Structures
Fixed to Cast-in Channel for New Structures
Two horizontal slots in the backleg to give options in case

of the clash with reinforcing steel fixing with Fischer FAZ12 through bolt.
Brackets with vertical slot with serration for height

adjustment.

Multi-hole restraint tie type CFS-MH
CFS produces purpose-made brackets for use as supports.

These are designed to carry a storey height of stonework
with brackets typically spanning between adjacent stones.
Produced to suit each individual project, the CFS-MH

incorporates 3 holes to allow for variations on cavity
width fixed with Fischer FAZ II through-bolts for concrete
or Fischer FIS A Resin Anchor for dense block work.
CFS SA support brackets are

manufactured to suit your
project.We design these bespoke
angles using your project
information including the stone
sizes, cavity width and height.
The angles are height adjustable
and can be drill fixed or fixed into
cast-in channels.

Stone Cladding Support Systems

Our fixing systems accommodate all types of backing
walls whether they are concrete walls, block work &
masonry walls or steel structures.
CFS proposes and specially designs fixing systems

according to each projects requirements.
The following points need to be taken into

consideration when designing a fixing system for
natural stone installation.
Fixing to concrete with bolt anchors using expansion bolts.
Stone dimensions.
Cavity structure; projection sizes,

isolation shims/thermal breaks.
Application type; horizontal or vertical

joint installation.
Joint size.
Structural wall backing.
Height of faade.
Relevant dynamic loads such as wind

and seismic loads.
Design criteria of the project.
Direct fixing to concrete walls:
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 our products. The main advantage to using CFS is our ability to
custom design fixing systems and provide fast production when time constraints are critical. Both design and supply of
CFS products is made in accordance with international standards and above all, within the expectations of our clients.
Flush Support Anchor for Marble and Granite (FZP)

There are a wide range of anchors
available for flush installation into
both hard and soft stone types.
Flush anchors are suitable when a
good tolerance on material thickness
can be guaranteed. Suitable for
panel thicknesses equal to or greater
than 20mm

Sub-Structure Channel Systems

Channel systems are commonly used in the absence of suitable load-bearing
supports and where large projections are needed. A fully adjustable loadbearing bracket is attached to support at the top whilst a channel runs vertically
down the structure, restrained lower down by additional brackets.
Channels are fastened to concrete walls/beams or steel beams. CFS METLOC
brackets are designed to be compatible with the standard 41x41 and 41x21
channels, making both design and installation reliable and efficient.
Advantages:
Reduced thermal bridging thermal energy losses are minimal due to the
reduced number of fastenings to the load-bearing structure.
Larger cavities/projections are possible with this superior design.
High load-bearing capability with projections up to 360mm.
Fast, friendly and fully adjustable installation.
Support Frame Systems

CFS offers several choices of support frame to suit
the specific needs of a 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.
Minimum Design Information Requested
The following points are taken into consideration when
designing a fixing system for natural stone installations:
