Advice and support

Each project requires specific attention and solutions. Up-to-date knowledge of building technology, regulations and project management are very important here. GB has been providing advice on frame, element and cavity anchoring for years. We have built up our knowledge since 1881 and we are happy to share it. Besides advice, we also offer various useful tools and training courses.

Window frame anchoring calculation tool

Do you want to quickly make an informed selection of suitable materials for frame or element anchoring yourself? You can do that easily with the GB Calculation Tool. By entering a number of details about your project, you determine which anchors are needed for mounting window frames and prefabricated façade elements. The tool allows you to choose the right fasteners from various other well-known brands in addition to GB products. The GB Calculation Tool then gives you a clear report that can be included in the building administration. Ideal for the upcoming WKB. The tool is available on our website or directly via the link.

Cavity anchor advice

Choosing the right cavity wall anchoring system is not easy. This is because this structural component of the cavity wall must maintain its function for the structure. Which type of cavity anchor is used depends on the design of the building, the building materials used, the cavity width, the type of insulation material and the wind load. GB produces project-specific cavity anchor plans that include custom-written advice on the right type of cavity anchor. Calculations and advice are given according to Eurocode 6.

Each construction situation requires specific attention and solutions

A range for all situations

GB's product range now comprises more than 3,400 products. All of them serve a specific and often essential purpose within a building structure. Developments in the construction sector do not stand still and neither do we. For instance, we are faced with new construction methods, alternative building materials and stricter regulations. We also believe that things can always be done better and smarter, which is why the development of our product range and services is a continuous process. Because continuing to learn and improve helps to build more safely and efficiently.

Digital drawing with GB

GB has a product package for (HSB) element anchoring in Tekla Warehouse. Users of the Tekla software can therefore easily download GB models and place them in their BIM drawing environment. The package consists of several anchoring systems in different sizes including Floor HSB strips, F-anchors, XL corner anchors and XS corner anchors. The files can be imported as separate items. Associated with such an item is a file that automatically sets default properties and user attributes. This provides additional convenience when processing the data.

Request advice?

GB is happy to support the various disciplines in construction with practical and technical advice. This is why, for example, we produce project-level advisory reports for frame, element and cavity anchoring. To arrive at an appropriate and complete project recommendation, we ask you to provide us with some basic data in advance. For the various anchoring types, this involves the following information:

Informatie & training

Extensive information on GB's solutions is available on this website. If you did not find what you were looking for, please contact us at info@gb.nl or +31 (0)172 520 110.

We also like to share our knowledge and experience in the field of construction anchoring through talks, product training and technical training courses. This way, we help each other choose the right products and apply them correctly in specific construction situations. In addition to the training courses which we provide on-site, we have the opportunity in our informal meeting and training facility to take people into the world of GB.
