El anchoring cladding on the facade It is an essential component in any architectural project that seeks to combine aesthetics, safety and construction efficiencyIn recent years, the trend towards ventilated facades and large-format coverings have increased the technical demands on fixing systems.
Therefore, choosing a certified, high-performance anchoring system It is key to ensuring the durability and structural behavior of the assembly.
En CELO Façades, we are specialists in Design, manufacture and assembly of fastening systems for ventilated facades, offering solutions adapted to any type of cladding, enclosure or technical requirement.
Over 30 years of experience and presence in 55 countries, our anchoring systems have been installed in more than 5.000 international projects —including hospitals, universities, hotels, museums and corporate buildings—, consolidating our position as European benchmark in façade engineering.
What is a facade cladding anchor?
El anchoring cladding on the facade It is the element that ensures the fixing of the exterior cladding to the structural support or to the aluminum substructure.
Its main function is ensure the mechanical stability of the system, resisting the weight of the cladding, wind loads, thermal expansion and other stresses resulting from use and environmental exposure.
Modern anchoring systems must not only comply with the requirements of the Technical Building Code (CTE) and Eurocodes, but also to offer:
-
Flexibility in different formats and coating materials.
-
Structural safety against dynamic and static loads.
-
Compatibility with different thicknesses, geometries and types of fixing (visible or hidden).
-
Durability and corrosion resistance, using high quality materials such as aluminum EN AW-6005A-T6 and the A2 and A4 stainless steel.
Types of anchors for façade cladding
At CELO Façades we develop a wide range of anchoring systems To adapt to the needs of each project. Our products are divided into three main families based on the type of installation and support:
Self-supporting anchors
The self-supporting anchors They are ideal for ventilated facades with reduced chambers (up to 155 mm) or standard cladding where required precision, aesthetics and material savings.
Made in stainless steel, allow fixings hidden or visible and are compatible with stone or ceramic cladding from 10 mm thick.
Featured examples:
-
GR-CLM → Concealed fixing adjustable on three axes (x, y, z) by drilling on the edge.
-
GR-RAN → Slot fixing for metal facades or small chambers.
-
GR-INT / GR-DINT → Designed for roofs or facades where precision and discretion are required.
Advantages:
-
High structural resistance.
-
Precise and fast fixing.
-
Excellent behavior against aging and atmospheric agents.
Mortised anchors
The cushioned anchors They are used in traditional systems where the pieces are fixed directly to the support by means of mortar or structural adhesive.
They are an economical and safe option for façade rehabilitation, reinforcement of already installed slabs or natural stone and ceramic cladding.
Most used CELO models:
-
GR-AM-H → Concealed fixing by drilling into the edge, for natural stone from 20 mm.
-
GR-AM-R → Special for large formats, using a slot.
-
GR-AM-NEW → Hybrid between visible and hidden fixing, ideal for porcelain tiles.
-
GR-AM-C10/16 → Fixing adaptable to different cladding thicknesses.
Advantages:
-
Robust and versatile system.
-
No metal substructure required.
-
Compatible with rehabilitation projects.
-
Great durability and mechanical resistance.
Anchoring systems integrated into the substructure
Are the more technologically advanced, designed to ventilated facades with high technical demands.
Integrate brackets, vertical and horizontal profiles together with point anchors or rear studs (TR), creating a complete fixing system hidden or seen, according to the project design.
At CELO Façades we have 20 substructure systems, of which 13 are certified with ETA (European Technical Assessment) y CE marking, complying with the EAD 090034-00-0404.
Each system is designed for a specific type of load and coating:
-
Systems A → for high loads.
-
M Systems → for medium loads, ideal for large formats.
-
B Systems → for low loads or conventional enclosures.
Examples of CELO systems with integrated anchoring:
-
A-HTR / M-HTR / B-HTR: Mechanical hidden anchoring using TR plug.
-
A-TH / M-TH / B-TH: Mixed mechanical-chemical fixation with structural adhesive.
-
A-HPL / M-HPL: Special for phenolic compacts, stoneware or natural stone.
Main advantages:
-
High structural capacity.
-
Quick and error-free assembly.
-
Clean aesthetics, without visible elements.
-
Adaptable to any type of enclosure: concrete, metal, wood or masonry.
Certification, assurance and quality control
All CELO Façades cladding anchors meet the highest international standards.
Our products feature:
-
ETA Certification y CE marking according Regulation (EU) 305 / 2011.
-
Structural testing, load, durability and resistance tests carried out by accredited laboratories.
-
Warranty of up to 15 years in approved systems.
-
Custom structural calculations according to CTE y Eurocodes 1, 8 and 9.
In addition, each system is developed under a rigorous engineering process that includes Load analysis, 3D simulations and prototype validation, ensuring maximum reliability and safety on site.
