Aquarian Cladding Systems now supplies AxiAL+ brackets from Ash & Lacy – a major leap forward in wall bracket design for brick cladding systems. If you’re dealing with tight cavities or chasing better thermal performance without increasing spend, this bracket system could be the solution.
What’s Different About AxiAL+
Made from stainless steel, AxiAL+ brackets match the cost of traditional aluminium brackets with nylon pads but offer better fire and thermal performance. The switch to stainless steel brings:
-
Zero combustible or oil derived materials
-
Improved thermal efficiency with up to 40 percent lower insulation costs
-
Up to 120 mm more usable internal space
-
Less CO2e, less concrete, and a lighter foundation load
-
Traceable, UK made, fully recyclable components
-
Better U values without increasing wall build up
-
Compatibility with all cladding types
Performance Backed by Data
Testing using Ansys software shows that AxiAL+ consistently outperforms traditional bracket systems at typical cladding zones. The result? Thinner wall build ups that still meet or beat U value targets.
If you’re remediating existing façades or designing new high performance envelopes, AxiAL+ gives you options to either reduce cavity depth or boost insulation levels without the fire risk of plastic components or performance drop offs at bracket points.
Made for Simplicity
Installers will appreciate how easy these brackets are to work with:
-
Simple design and easy to understand
-
Minimal skill required to fit
-
Clear product marking for traceability on site
-
Available in single and double bracket formats to suit your setup
Why It Matters
As regulations tighten and performance expectations rise, especially with the push towards Passivhaus and Future Homes standards, choosing the right bracket is more important than ever.
If you’re working on a project with tight cavity zones, reduced internal space, or fire compliance challenges, AxiAL+ brackets give you a safer, more innovative alternative.
