Why do I need a Stone Support Bracket if I already have Up and Down Brackets?

The Stainless Steel Stone Support Cladding Bracket is an auxiliary fixing component used with up-and-down hook brackets, T-welding brackets and other edge-groove stone cladding systems. It provides additional support for stone panels at locations where both upper and lower hooks cannot be used, such as the top or bottom of a facade.

The bracket transfers the weight of the stone panel to the supporting steel structure while helping provide a stable mechanical support point. Stone support brackets are commonly used as part of natural stone cladding systems to provide direct bearing and restraint for individual stone units.

How the Stone Support Bracket Works

The bracket is a stainless steel plate with a raised front section designed to engage with a groove prepared in the rear of the stone panel.

The main body is fixed to a steel angle or supporting subframe using a suitable hexagon bolt through the slotted fixing hole.

A corresponding angled groove is prepared on the rear of the stone panel. The raised section of the bracket is inserted into the groove to create a mechanical support point underneath the stone panel.

Before insertion, two-component epoxy adhesive (AB epoxy adhesive) can be applied inside the groove. Additional epoxy can be applied after positioning the bracket to reinforce the connection between the bracket and the stone panel.

Auxiliary Support for Top and Bottom Panels

The Stone Support Bracket is particularly useful at the top and bottom of a stone facade, where a conventional up-and-down fixing cannot be installed on both sides of the panel.

In a standard middle section, an up-and-down or T-welding bracket can secure the upper and lower edges of adjacent stone panels. At the top or bottom termination of the facade, however, only one side of the panel may have a conventional edge fixing point.

The Stone Support Bracket provides the additional support required in these locations, helping avoid relying on only two fixing points.

Professional stone support systems also use dedicated support brackets to provide direct bearing for stone units and can be designed around the required cavity, fixing position, stone thickness and load.

Installation with Grooved Stone Panels

The rear of the stone panel is prepared with a suitable angled groove at the required support position.

The bracket is first secured to the supporting steel structure. The raised section is then inserted into the prepared groove, with AB epoxy adhesive used to reinforce the connection.

After positioning, additional adhesive can be applied around the fixing area according to the installation requirements.

The exact groove dimensions and fixing arrangement should be determined according to the stone thickness, panel size, weight and project requirements.

Material and Size Options

Our Stone Support Brackets are available in:

• Stainless Steel 201
• Stainless Steel 304

Stainless Steel 316 is available for customized production.

Standard lengths include:

• 40 mm
• 50 mm
• 60 mm
• 70 mm
• 80 mm
• 90 mm
• 100 mm
• 120 mm

Other lengths, widths, thicknesses and groove-engagement dimensions can be customized according to the stone panel and installation requirements.

Typical Applications

The Stainless Steel Stone Support Bracket is commonly used with:

• Up and Down Hook Cladding Brackets
• T-Welding Stone Cladding Brackets
• Other grooved stone fixing systems
• Natural stone facade panels
• Granite and marble cladding
• Interior suspended stone feature walls

For interior suspended stone applications, such as floating stone TV feature walls, the bracket can be used as a bottom support component to carry the weight of the stone panel while the upper fixing system provides additional restraint.
