<p>A support member for attaching wall panels (10) to a wall structure (8) comprises a positioning bolt (3), a support plate (1) for threadingly engaging the bolt and a lock nut (4) for locking against the plate to secure the plate in position on the bolt. In use the bolt (3) is fixed, using a masonry anchor (7) or the like in a hole (9) drilled in a wall structure (8) so that the bolt extends outwardly from the structure. The plate is screwed onto the bolt to the desired position and locked by the lock nut. An array of such support members is arranged on a wall structure and the plates are adjusted to be co-planar. The protrusion of the bolt through the plate is cut-off once adjustment is completed and wall panels (10) are attached to the plates using screws (110) or by gluing or otherwise.</p> |
