Quad-Lock Metal Brackets
The corner & angle brackets make the assembly of 90° corners
and angles simple, quick, and
secure.
Corner
Brackets
Quad-Lock corner brackets allow for the quick and secure assembly of
90 degree corners and eliminate the need for any external corner
bracing. They come in two configurations: the Inside Corner Bracket and
the Outside Corner Bracket.
- Inside Corner Brackets are used on every row of the inside
panels, with the exception of the top row, for 90 degree corners and
on the inside corners of T-walls.
- Outside Corner Brackets are used on every row of the outside
corner panels, again with the exception of the top row, and as
reinforcement for the back wall of T-walls.
Corner brackets are made of flat 24-gauge galvanized steel and are
designed to fit over Quad-Lock panels placed at 90° to one another. The
brackets have holes that match the panels' foam interlock knobs, and
slots that allow the ties and tie flanges to be inserted once the
bracket has been placed over the panels.
When installed properly, the corner brackets combined with the ties
and tie flanges alone will absorb the forces of the poured concrete at
the recommended slump and pour rates, eliminating the need for
structural corner bracing. Bracing may be needed only to assure plumb
and alignment in relation to the rest of the wall.
Corner and angle brackets are recessed from the surface of the EPS
panels to minimize thermal bridging and avoid flashing through stucco.
Angle
Brackets
Quad-Lock hinged angle brackets allow wall angles of almost any
degree to be easily formed and braced. Once the panel ends are mitered
at the bi-section degree of the desired angle, the bracket folds out to
match the angle of the wall.
Similar to the 90° corner bracket, ties are placed through the angle
bracket and into the panel. Angle brackets are only needed on the
outside of the angle and will ensure that the wall is held together
plumb and true without the need for extra bracing.
