Comparing to the traditional clamp or pin type mountings, ETA approved stone undercut
anchors provide

•
• Reduces chance of system failure due to accumulated weight from upper panels transferring
to lower ones.
• Higher resistance to movement and deformations, under strong wind and seismic conditions
• Easier, controllable installation, adjustment and maintenance of stone facades.

High reliability and safety built into in each step of the anchor application
