Our current range of products includes masonry support systems, wind posts, wall ties, masonry and stone restraints, reinforcements, and specialist fixing systems.

ACS is a British company and all of our design and manufacturing work is carried out in the UK. Please contact us for more details.

Wall Ties

We manufacture a full range of wall ties – used to tie internal and external walls together – made from either 304 grade stainless steel or 316 grade stainless steel. We can also provide galvanised steel ties on request. Choosing the right wall tie, and installing it properly, depend on the type of a building and its height, location, the cavity size, and the type of material that needs to be restrained. Please visit our website for more details on choosing the wall tie for you.

Windposts

Our windposts have been designed and developed to span vertically between floors in lateral support applications of various brick and blockwork assemblies. Windposts can often eliminate the need for extra steel or reinforced concrete columns – therefore saving time and expense in construction. Windposts offer strength and stability for large stretches of cladding. We stock C-type windposts for installation within a cavity; and L-type windposts for structures where high wind loadings may occur. Please visit our website to learn more about our windposts.

Masonry Support

ACS manufactures a wide range of masonry support systems and brickwork supports for applications where the external leaf of a piece of masonry needs extra support. A masonry support angle allows for differential movement in a structure and its cladding through the use of a horizontal movement joint; these joints are usually positioned at every storey or every other storey. We supply a range of components, with our expert advice, to support your masonry assemblies. Please visit our website for more details.

Channel

ACS supplies a broad range of channels and T-head bolts to suit nearly all kinds of applications in construction. Our components come in a variety of lengths and materials to meet your exact building needs. We produce cast-in channels, surface-fixed channels, and plain-back channels. Please visit our website for more details.

Masonry Reinforcement

We are able to design and manufacture a range of bed joint reinforcements to meet your needs. Horizontal bed joints can be reinforced in order to increase masonry’s flexural and tensile strength. Reinforced masonry panels can resist stresses that come with loaded panels – thus reducing the risk of cracks. Please visit our website for more details.

Stonework Support

ACS designs and manufactures arrange of systems for supporting and restraining stone cladding. Our products are developed to match each specific application – stonework size and density varies and our components meet to meet your exact needs. ACS engineers analyse the type of structure (concrete or steel), the cavity size, thickness and type of stone, density, the height that needs to be supported, and we then develop the solution that best conforms to the requirements.
