Frederick Douglass Academy VI — terra-cotta backup anchoring
Problem

The proposed face brick replacement raised concerns because the original backup was not robust enough for conventional fixing.

CINTEC solution

CINTEC anchors provided a sympathetic connection into the fragile backup while preserving the school envelope.

Technical notes

This case demonstrates how anchors can be adapted to delicate clay tile and educational building conditions.

Result

The façade repair proceeded with a secure and compatible anchorage system.
