What is Cast-in Channel?

I/Cast-in Channel

Cast-in Channels are rolled channels with swaged studs that are cast into concrete structures. This system method provides easy and safe fixations to structures such as concrete slabs.

The anchor channels are supplied with a filler strip within the channel slot, which prevents concrete ingress during casting. After the concrete is dried, the fillers are removed from the channels leaving an open slot on the wall for fixture connections.

Apart from the standard range of anchor channels bespoke design and manufacturing of anchor channels is done for areas where standard types cannot be used. Special cast-in channels are preferred for areas where there are limitations such as complex corner applications, low slab thicknesses, reduced edge spaces and higher design loads.

T-Bolts and Lock Nuts are available to allow secure and easy connections on to the anchor channels. The use of this system is applicable in a wide range of construction works.
