Arches
Masonry Arches, Engineered Smarter
FERO’s thermally broken arch support systems deliver full-bed brick aesthetics with engineered performance across segmental, flat, multi-ring, and deep-soffit arches. Each system is custom-designed to your geometry, brick unit, and backup wall (steel stud, CMU, or concrete).
Why FERO for Masonry Arches
- Structural Integrity. Engineered load paths and bearing details for code-compliant support of full-depth masonry.
- Architectural Authenticity. True structural arches with brick depth don’t cause the flat looking reveals at corners or soffits that are often present with thin or adhered veneers.
- Thermal Performance. Full bed brick reduces thermal bridging to help meet high performance building envelope targets.
- Durability, Sustainability and Longevity. Traditional masonry arches last centuries and are not tied to adhesive life or substrate durability and not subject to cracking, debonding or water infiltration.
- Fast, Crane-free Installation. Lightweight, interlocking steel components shipped at low cost and are installed using typical construction methods with standard tools.
- Flexibility and On-Site Adjustability. On-site adjustability and joint placement accommodates real-world tolerances, complex profiles, and multi-tier layouts.
- Low Lifecycle Cost. Efficient installation and minimal ongoing maintenance compared to custom welded lintels or adhered systems.
Deliverables you can expect
- Project-specific design, engineering and submittals (details, take-offs, calculations, installation guidance)
- Coordination with your backup wall details and movement joints
- Field-friendly instructions for masons and site teams
