If you work in construction or architecture, you’ve likely heard of Dry Fixing as a method for stone installation. It’s a straightforward and effective system that uses mechanical components like angles, bolts, pins, and screws to secure stone panels without relying on cement or adhesives. At Shelber, we know how important reliable fixing methods are for ensuring quality, safety, and a clean finish on every project, and Dry Fixing checks all these boxes.
What Exactly Is Dry Fixing?
In simple terms, Dry Fixing involves attaching stone panels or cladding to structures using specially designed brackets and fasteners instead of wet materials. This approach speeds up installation, reduces mess on-site, and allows for cleaner alignment of panels.
One of the biggest advantages of Dry Fixing is that it makes maintenance and replacements much easier. If a panel needs to be removed in the future, it can be taken off and refixed without damaging other parts of the structure.
The Importance of Quality Materials
The durability and stability of your stone installation heavily depend on the quality of the Dry Fix components used. At Shelber, we provide Dry Fix systems made from high-quality stainless steel and brass, ensuring your installations can withstand environmental conditions while maintaining their strength over time.
We offer stainless steel options in grades 202, 304, and 316 to match different project needs, ensuring our clients get products that suit their specific environments, including coastal areas where corrosion can be a concern.
Sizes and Custom Options for Your Project
No two projects are exactly the same. That’s why we offer a range of Dry Fix sizes, from 3 x 2.5 to 3 x 15, along with all required accessories for a complete installation. If you need something unique, we can arrange custom sizes and grit grades based on your project’s requirements.
Why Choose Dry Fix Systems for Your Projects?
Dry Fixing is gaining popularity for several reasons:
- Time Efficiency: It speeds up the installation process by removing the need to wait for cement or adhesives to dry.
- Clean Installation: It provides a tidy finish without the mess of wet materials.
- Strong and Reliable: The system evenly distributes the weight of stone panels, reducing the risk of panels loosening over time.
- Ease of Maintenance: Replacing panels is straightforward and doesn’t damage the surrounding work.
These advantages make Dry Fixing a preferred choice for contractors and architects working on facades, interiors, or decorative stone elements.
Applications of Dry Fix Solutions
Dry Fix systems are versatile and can be used in various projects, such as:
- Exterior stone cladding for commercial and residential buildings
- Interior marble or granite installations
- Decorative stonework for architectural features
- Stone panels on high-rise structures
No matter the application, Dry Fixing offers a dependable method for securely installing stone panels.
Precision and Safety Matter
Safety is always a priority when handling heavy stone panels, and using engineered Dry Fix systems ensures panels are installed securely. Proper angles and bolts reduce the chances of movement, ensuring a safer environment during and after installation.
