IG Welded Masonry Support System - WMS

IG WMS is a rigid masonry support system comprised of a stainless steel angle support shelf with fixed brackets. It is designed to accommodate loads up to 22 kN/m and bespoke fixing applications. The system is fabricated to engineers' specifications on a project specific basis. The system is suitable for cavity widths 50mm to 290mm.

IG's team of engineers offer a bespoke design service including onsite technical assistance.

The Welded Masonry Support system provides significant adjustability on two planes to ensure building tolerances can be accommodated and contact with structural reinforcing can be avoided. A toothed lock washer inserted into a serrated slot in the support bracket accommodates adjustability on the Y axis. Shims can be inserted between the support structure and the bracket giving adjustability along the Z axis. The 2 mm shims are provided as standard.

IG's range of masonry support products can be supplied with brackets to accommodate a range of applications.
