TITAN
TITAN is an ex-stock masonry support solution comprising a front-loaded shelf angle, brackets, lock washers, shims and bolts. This off-the-shelf masonry support solution provides structural engineers with an excellent alternative to Welded Masonry Support.
The front-fit loading of the masonry support shelf facilitates ease of installation, while the bracket system is designed to accommodate typical build tolerance on-site, ensuring accurate installations.
Standard System
There are six IG TITAN systems; Titan 4, Titan 6, Titan 8, Titan 10, Titan 12, and Titan 14. Suitable for concrete and steel framed structures, the design of these systems accommodate masonry loads of up to 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14kN/m, respectively.
Standard brackets are available for cavity widths ranging from 70 to 200mm (stocked in 10mm increments). Brackets are simply changed on-site to allow for cavity variations.
Application
Stainless steel masonry support systems support the outer leaf masonry material on steel or concrete framed structures.
Titan can support any outer leaf masonry material:
- Brickwork
- Fair-face blockwork
- Rendered blockwork
- Reconstituted stone

Adjustability
TITAN provides significant adjustability in all three planes to ensure that building tolerances can be accommodated and contact with the reinforcing bar can be avoided.
Horizontal Adjustment
TITAN angles have a 50mm fixing zone which provides +/- 25mm horizontal adjustment from the centre line of the bracket.
Vertical Adjustment
A toothed Lock Washer enables +/- 15mm of vertical adjustment.
Lateral Adjustment
To accommodate a small increase in cavity width, shims can be inserted between the support structure and the bracket.
