MFA 1 and MFA 2
Shelf Angles and Load Bearing Brickwork
About MFA 1 and MFA 2
The MFA 1 and MFA 2 anchors from Brunswick Sales are purpose-built for structural reliability in brick and block construction. Designed for shelf angle applications and under-slab load-bearing masonry, these anchors offer dependable reinforcement where it matters most.
MFA 1 is a purpose-built masonry anchor designed to fix shelf angles to the underside of concrete slabs, offering a secure connection for load transfer in cavity wall construction. The dual tie design enables flexibility to accommodate differential movement while maintaining structural support.
MFA 2 provides a robust solution for securing loadbearing brickwork beneath slab edges or beams. Its reinforced design and material composition ensure long-term performance in structural brick and block applications, especially where consistent vertical loads are present.
