for fixing ventilated cladding

Facade systems A | C | T

The key to new facade aesthetics.

With its A|C|T System (Advanced Curtain wall Technique), fischer offers architects and specifiers an innovative, high-quality, all-inclusive system for fixing ventilated claddings. Apart from technical and financial advantages, the A|C|T System also provides a particularly extensive scope for architectural design.
For example, A|C|T allows the use of facade natural stone panels from 20 mm in thickness, free positioning of the anchor anywhere on the rear side of the panel and easy replacement of all or individual panels. Even soffit panels can be attached with ease and in many different ways. A|C|T’s aesthetic highlight is its undercut technology combined with the FZP fischer zykon panel, which ensures that there are no visible fixing elements at the joint.

 

Complete service from a single source.

The A|C|T System is not restricted to innovative fixing products – this is only the start. Fixing specialists at the A|C|T Competence Centres offer architects, specifiers and craftsmen comprehensive support, from the planning stage and static calculations through to on-time delivery to the site. Their service also includes provision of design software and instruction for users, as well as advice in selecting the appropriate fischer drilling machines.

 

Where powerful forces are at work.

The fischer A|C|T System opens up the way for effortless and cost-efficient design of attractive, complex facades. The reason lies in the system itself - FZP, the fischer zykon panel anchor, which is undercut and therefore stress-free fixing system that is installed into predrilled undercut hole. This technology offers several times higher ultimate loads than conventional fixings. Because anchor positioning can be optimised, the bending moment within the panel is reduced by about 50% when compared to traditional systems.This allows reduced panel thickness and larger panel sizes. In addition, the varied panel thickness can be compensated by the use of stand-off anchor types.
