Sliding Anchor Type 1 is designed to absorb the expansion and contraction of vertical carrier profiles caused by thermal changes in mechanical facade systems. It acts as a "sliding point" where the profile is not tightly locked to the anchor, but rather can move in a controlled vertical direction. This mechanism prevents the aluminum profiles from putting pressure on the facade cladding during expansion, thus preventing cracks or joint deformations. The Type 1 model is optimized for composite panels and light stone systems under standard loads.
