AGS Single brackets are designed to absorb wind loading and allow for expansion and contraction. They are made from Magnelis®, a unique pre-galvanised steel with a zinc-based coating that includes 3.5% aluminium and 3% magnesium. This composition ensures the highest protection and durability, even in aggressive environments.
The patented brackets design takes care of elements like hole drilling, extending the way temperature spreads through the bracket, and improving overall thermal isolation.
