Through concealed anchoring technology and advanced cladding design.
A dedicated anchor for facade cladding
in porcelain stoneware
For the cast-in-place formwork method (the Baranovich method) — with no change to on-site construction practices.
Concealed rear anchoring for facade cladding tiles — an advanced Israeli development. The anchor was purpose-designed for integrating porcelain stoneware cladding into the cast-in-place formwork method, delivering high stability and a secure hold throughout the life of the building.
Concealed rear anchoring
A hidden connection at the back of the tile — a clean, uniform facade with no visible elements.
Stability for the life of the building
A secure hold that withstands loads, thermal movement and differential settlement.
An added layer of safety
The tile stays anchored to the wall even in edge cases such as breakage.
Oversized Tiles
Using large tiles dramatically reduces the number of grout joints between tiles. The result is a homogeneous, clean, high-end look that gives the building a modern and striking appearance.
Maximum Architectural Freedom
The GRANIX anchoring system makes it possible to combine multiple tile types, sizes, tones and textures on the same facade with the same construction method — with no change to the formwork method or to on-site execution details.
Combine porcelain stoneware tiles of different dimensions, tones and textures within the same building, following the project's architectural concept.
The system enables material interplay, varied divisions and highlighted zones across the building — without being limited to a single cladding type.
Even with mixed tile types, the on-site installation method stays uniform and simple, with no special adaptations between cladding zones.
The anchoring system is designed to suit a wide range of tiles and design solutions, keeping planning and execution consistent throughout the project.
Cladding Layout & Project Optimization
GRANIX is more than an advanced anchoring solution. We support the project from the design stage with a complete cladding layout and precise fitting of the tiles to the building — streamlining execution, reducing waste and providing a reliable bill of quantities from day one.
Full tile-layout design that follows the building's architecture — windows, balconies and facade details — while preserving a uniform look and design continuity.
Detailed quantities for every tile type, size and tone, enabling accurate ordering based on the project's actual needs — not on gross area estimates alone.
Detailed cutting plans for every special tile, including marking and numbering of the individual elements, for precise fabrication and on-site installation.
Design analysis of the building envelope to reduce waste, minimize over-ordering and improve cladding cost control throughout the project.
Full Engineering Support for Every Project
The approvals and tests required for each project, in accordance with the applicable standard.
Pull-out tests of the combined anchor and tile to verify the hold.
Complete structural calculations for the system, tailored to the project.
The system can also anchor tiles of natural stone and of engineered UHPC stone.
Shay Atias — Licensed Structural Engineer
The unique anchoring system for porcelain stoneware cladding grew out of extensive hands-on experience in structural design and cladding solutions. The development combined the strengths of existing methods while fully addressing the physical phenomena between tile and structure — loads, thermal movement and long-term durability. The result is an advanced anchor that is safe and simple to install, purpose-built for cladding in the cast-in-place formwork method.
