The term wall anchor is now a collective term for all masonry fixings. This ranges from wall connectors or wall connection anchors for connecting masonry walls to visible cross or ornamental anchors on needles or tie-rods in the renovation of monuments. In order to obtain concrete details for a product specification, you should obtain detailed information in advance via the Internet or specialist brochures from the fastening suppliers.
The so-called wall anchor has its origin as a visible distribution of forces on the outer facade in order to transfer the forces of the outer masonry (formerly most soft and porous natural stones) drifting outwards into the interior of the load-bearing structure via needle anchors or tension rods. On churches, cathedrals or castles, these wall anchors are often seen in the form of decorative elements, cross anchors or so-called St. Andrew's crosses.
Today, MODERSOHN also manufactures the classic wall anchors from stainless steel.
