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.
CINTEC provides technical consulting, product guidance and project support within its authorized scope. Final design responsibility and structural analysis remain with the project's Engineer of Record.
