Up and Down Angle
Stone Cladding Bracket

From US$51 / 500 PIECE (EXW)

The Stainless Steel Up and Down Angle Cladding Bracket is a pre-formed version of the traditional up-and-down hook cladding bracket, designed for direct wall fixing of natural stone and other grooved facade panels. Its integrated angle shape eliminates the need for a separate steel subframe or angle connection, providing a simpler and faster installation method.

This type of stone cladding bracket is widely used for direct fixing applications, including exterior wall projects in the Middle East and other international markets.

How the Up and Down Angle Bracket Works

The bracket is formed from a stainless steel plate and bent into an integrated angle shape. The mounting leg contains a fixing hole for an appropriate mechanical anchor, allowing the bracket to be secured directly to the wall substrate.

The upper and lower hooks work in the same way as the conventional Up and Down Hook Cladding Bracket. Matching grooves are prepared along the upper and lower edges of the stone panel, and the hooks are inserted into the grooves to mechanically support the panel.

Two-component epoxy adhesive (AB epoxy adhesive) can be applied inside the grooves before inserting the hooks to improve the connection between the stainless steel bracket and the stone panel.

Direct Wall Fixing Without a Steel Subframe

The main advantage of the angle design is that it does not require a separate steel frame, horizontal rail or angle bracket.

The bracket can be fixed directly to a suitable concrete or masonry substrate using appropriate mechanical anchors. This reduces the number of components and installation steps compared with rail-mounted stone cladding systems. Public industry descriptions of similar angle brackets specifically highlight direct wall fixing and simplified installation.

However, because the bracket is directly fixed to the wall, it provides less front-to-back adjustment than the slotted flat Up and Down Hook Bracket used with a steel subframe.

The wall surface therefore needs to be sufficiently flat and accurately prepared before installation. Where additional adjustment is required, suitable shims can be used between the bracket and wall to achieve the required panel alignment.

Selecting the Correct Bracket Size

The appropriate bracket size depends on the panel thickness, panel weight and required distance between the stone panel and the wall.

The bracket width, or projection from the wall, determines the approximate position of the stone panel relative to the supporting substrate.

Our standard width options include:

• 10 mm
• 15 mm
• 20 mm
• 25 mm
• 30 mm
• 40 mm
• 50 mm
• 60 mm

Other widths can be customized according to the required wall clearance and project specifications.

Thickness Options

Different bracket thicknesses are available for different panel applications:

• 1.0 mm
• 1.2 mm
• 1.5 mm
• 3.0 mm
• 4.0 mm
• 5.0 mm

Thinner versions up to approximately 1.5 mm and narrower configurations are commonly used for lighter and thinner panels such as ceramic tiles and porcelain slabs.

Thicker and wider brackets are generally used for natural stone panels where greater support capacity is required.

The final bracket thickness and dimensions should be selected according to the panel size, weight, fixing conditions and project requirements. Similar commercial stone-fixing systems offer different bracket thicknesses, widths and projection dimensions for different cladding applications.

Stainless Steel Material Options

Our regular stock materials include:

• Stainless Steel 201
• Stainless Steel 304

Stainless Steel 316 can also be manufactured according to project requirements.

Different stainless steel grades can be selected depending on the required corrosion resistance and project environment.

Key Features

Typical Applications

The Stainless Steel Up and Down Hook Angle Bracket is suitable for direct wall fixing of:

• Natural stone
• Granite
• Marble
• Ceramic tile
• Porcelain slabs
• Other grooved architectural cladding panels

It is particularly suitable for projects where a simple direct-fixing system is preferred and the wall substrate can be prepared to the required flatness and alignment. Similar direct-fixing angle bracket systems are marketed for stone and marble cladding in Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, the UK and other international markets.

Custom Manufacturing

We can customize the material grade, thickness, width/projection, hook dimensions and overall bracket size according to panel thickness, wall clearance and project requirements.

For large projects, customized dimensions can be produced in high volume according to approved drawings or samples.
