THE FERO FAST™ THERMAL BRACKET ADVANTAGE







         Challenge




         Conventional masonry shelf angle designs compromise the
         effectiveness of exterior insulation, reducing the energy

         efficiency of the building. Conventional shelf angles are

         impractical and expensive, especially with thicker insulation

         and larger wall cavities.













         Conventional Shelf Angles
