ACS launches new Intex™ 4-in-1 Masonry Support System - Designed in Collaboration with Tenmat
Tenmat has collaborated with ACS Stainless Steel Fixings (ACS) to set a new standard for masonry support – the Intex™ 4-in-1 Masonry Support System.
The first combined masonry support system combining four critical components in one easy-to-fit design, Intex™ is a truly ‘game-changing’ product. As ACS Managing Director David Flannery explains, Intex™ combines “masonry support, cavity tray and wall ties, in one, with an added intumescent cavity fire barrier mechanically fixed to the cavity tray for exceptional fire protection.”
What challenges does Intex™ solve?
Intex™ has been specifically designed to help developers, contractors, architects, and specifiers create safer and more sustainable buildings.
Cavity Congestion
Intex™ reduces deliveries and onsite storage space by up to 32%, as well as reducing congestion in cavity spaces by up to 60%.
Installation time
The Masonry Support System is over 40% faster to install than traditional methods.
Fire protection
Integrating Tenmat’s low profile intumescent not only saves considerable space but provides the best possible fire protection.
Labour costings
Its ergonomic design makes Intex™ easy for installers to handle and fit, with a projected 29% reduction in labour costs.

“This was a complex project bringing together the expertise of both ACS and Tenmat to overcome numerous technical challenges. The strength of this collaboration led to the creation of a first-of-its-kind product – one we are proud to have helped develop.
“The Intex™ 4-in-1 Masonry Support system represents an industry first of utilising compact, low profile intumescent materials to provide an integrated cavity barrier solution to a masonry support bracket and cavity tray.
“We are delighted to partner with ACS to bring this product to market having both identified an acute need for something new and innovative.”
