Mechanically fixed cladding systems
Akkari Tiling provides specialised mechanical fix cladding services, utilising advanced techniques to securely attach stone, glass reinforced concrete cladding and other heavy materials to building structures.
Unlike traditional cladding methods that rely on adhesives or mortar, mechanically fixed systems utilise fasteners to secure panels directly to the building structure. Providing an effective solution for those seeking a durable and long-lasting façade, it’s an ideal choice for modern construction projects looking to stand the test of time.
What is a Mechanical Fixing System?
Providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, mechanically fixed cladding systems involve attaching cladding materials – such as stone, GRC cladding, or composite materials – directly to the building’s structural substrate through fasteners such as anchors, brackets, clips, and other fastening systems. This method ensures the cladding is safely supported and remains stable on both exterior and interior surfaces.
Mechanically fixed cladding systems stand out for their:
- Durability
- Enhanced load-bearing capacity
- Increased stability
- Longevity
- Ability to withstand various weather conditions and environmental forces like wind and seismic activity
Often combined with epoxy adhesive, our mechanical fix cladding provides a robust attachment system that guarantees long-lasting performance and structural integrity – making it an ideal choice for large-scale facades and high-rise buildings.

What Are Different Types of Cladding?
There are many different types of cladding used in residential and commercial construction.
Natural stone wall claddings – Stone cladding has long been celebrated for its classic elegance and enduring strength, making it a favoured choice in both residential and commercial architecture.
GRC cladding – Glass reinforced concrete offers a multitude of advantages in construction, proving to be a strong and durable material. It can be formed into virtually any shape, size or finish, and is able to achieve an A1 rating for fire retardancy.
Brick veneer rail cladding system can also be mechanically fixed to building exteriors and soffits. The joints can be mortared to look like traditional brick work and can be laid in a range of variations and styles.
