Stainless Steel Up and Down Hook Cladding Bracket

The Stainless Steel Up and Down Hook Cladding Bracket is a traditional mechanical fixing solution for natural stone and other grooved facade panels. Its double-hook design secures the upper and lower edges of the cladding panel, while the slotted fixing hole allows front-to-back adjustment during installation.

The bracket is widely used with steel subframes for stone facade systems and is also available in a pre-formed Up and Down Angle Bracket configuration for direct wall-fixing applications.

How the Up and Down Hook Bracket Works

The bracket is made from a stainless steel plate with two hooks formed along the upper and lower edges.
The stone panel is prepared with matching grooves along its upper and lower edges. During installation, the upper and lower hooks are inserted into the corresponding grooves to secure the panel.

The bracket is fixed to the steel angle using a suitable hexagon bolt. Its slotted fixing hole allows the bracket to move forward or backward, helping installers adjust the panel position and compensate for installation tolerances.

In a typical installation, one stone panel is secured at both its upper and lower edges, with the number of brackets selected according to the panel size, weight and project requirements.

Grooved Stone Panel Installation

The stone grooves should be prepared at the required fixing positions before installation.

A two-component epoxy adhesive (AB epoxy adhesive) can be applied inside the grooves before inserting the hooks. The adhesive helps improve the connection between the bracket and the stone panel after curing.

The use of mechanical hooks combined with adhesive reinforcement provides a practical fixing method for grooved stone and cladding panels.

Stainless Steel Materials and Thickness Options

Our Up and Down Hook Cladding Brackets are available in several stainless steel grades and thicknesses.

Regular Stock

• Stainless Steel 201
• Stainless Steel 304
• 1.5 mm thickness
• 4.0 mm thickness

The 1.5 mm version is commonly used for thinner cladding panels such as ceramic tiles and porcelain slabs, while the 4.0 mm version is commonly used for natural stone panels.

Made-to-Order Options

Stainless Steel 316 and 5.0 mm thick brackets are available for production. Although these specifications are not normally kept as finished stock, the required raw materials are prepared for production and can be manufactured promptly after order confirmation.

For large orders, thousands of pieces can be produced in a single production run.

Length Options

Standard bracket lengths include:

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

Other lengths and dimensions can be customized according to panel thickness, groove dimensions, fixing requirements and project specifications.

Adjustable Fixing for Steel Subframes

The slotted fixing hole allows the bracket to be adjusted forward and backward after installation.

This is useful when the facade needs to maintain a consistent plane or when the steel subframe or wall has installation tolerances.

By adjusting the bracket position, installers can fine-tune the distance between the stone panel and the supporting structure during facade installation.

Up and Down Angle Bracket

For applications where a steel subframe is not required, the traditional flat Up and Down Hook Bracket can also be developed into a pre-formed Up and Down Angle Bracket.

The angle configuration can be fixed directly to a suitable wall substrate using appropriate mechanical anchors, making it suitable for direct wall-fixing applications.

The angle version is particularly common in projects where a compact direct-fixing method is preferred.

Applications

The Stainless Steel Up and Down Hook Cladding Bracket is suitable for:

• Natural stone facade
• Granite and marble cladding
• Ceramic tile cladding
• Porcelain slab applications
• Exterior wall cladding
• Interior stone and tile installation

The appropriate bracket thickness, length and material should be selected according to the panel thickness, weight, groove dimensions, fixing arrangement and project requirements.
