Interior terra-cotta wall in Boston building restoration
Problem

The original terra-cotta backup walls lacked a reliable attachment method, creating a need for a concealed structural connection.

CINTEC solution

CINTEC anchors were installed as a concealed threaded solution to secure the handrail to the terra-cotta wall while preserving the interior appearance.

Technical notes

This project is a useful example of discreet structural connection in heritage and terra-cotta environments where visible fixings are not acceptable.

Result

The wall support was successfully secured with minimal visual impact and without undermining the conservation intent of the building.
