AEP® hidden brackets are used to fasten a concrete element beam or Anstar A-BEAM® to the side of a concrete element column, wall or another beam. The bracket acts as a swivel joint for the bending of the head of the beam, transferring the beam’s torsional moment to the column without support during installation.
AEP® steel brackets are used to connect precast concrete beams to multi-storey columns or walls. The steel bracket transfers beam loads to the column or wall during installation and in final use of the structure. THe bracket acts as a hinge joint allowing the beam to rotate longitudinally but transfers torsional loads from beams to column. The AEP® system makes it possible to use simple straight steel moulds since all steel parts are pocketed and hollow core concrete slabs can be installed without supporting the beam flange.

A-BEAM® and Anstar’s connection technology form part of the frame system, offering cost-efficiency and flexibility for construction.
Diagonal ties are used in concrete sandwich panels to connect the outer skin with the inner skin through the insulation layer. The ties transfer the self-weight and wind loads of the outer skin to the inner skin.
Fastening plates are used on cast-in-place and prefabricated structures to provide a mounting surface for welding.
Anstar has developed bracket and support systems for efficient and affordable construction. The connection pieces are easy to install both at the prefabrication factory and on site.
Balcony hinges are used to transfer horizontal forces from the balcony to the building frame. The hinged connection enables vertical movement.
high-quality rebar and anchor bolts are responsibly made with recycled steel. There are two different basic types of bolts: ATP- ja AHP® rebar bolts and ALP® anchor bolts
AEP® hidden brackets are used to fasten a concrete element beam or Anstar A-BEAM® to the side of a concrete element column, wall or another beam.
The AOK® support is used in a hollow-core slab floor opening as the load-bearing structure for the end of the slab. The AOK® support has been granted a patent, which enables exclusive rights to the most cost-effective support in the market.
Column shoes are used in light- and heavy-duty column extension and foundation connections; wall shoes are used in the tension connections of stiffening wall and shaft elements, retaining walls and earth pressure walls that stiffen the building.
Rebar couplers are used for joining rebars with full tension capacity. The ends of bars to be joined are provided with threads, and the bars are joined using a coupler sleeve that transfers the force on the rebar across the connection.
ADE® and ADK® bracing connections are designed for stabilising the concrete element frame. These connections
are used in the joints between concrete columns and stabilising steel bracings.
