Acrow systems compared head to head

Every pair of Acrow systems in the ScaFix catalogue: which bay lengths and depths they share, which only one of them has, and what the planning engine counts for each on the same example house, parts group by parts group.

How do the Acrow systems differ?

ScaFix has 2 Acrow systems: Acrow SUPERCUPLOK and Acrow QUICKSTAGE. On the same example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m), Acrow QUICKSTAGE needs 549 parts and Acrow SUPERCUPLOK 589. Bay length, depth and part design set the totals; they say nothing about price or load class. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Pair by pair: bay lengths and depths

Each pair of Acrow systems, from the catalogue the engine plans with. «Only in» lists the bay lengths one system has and the other lacks; the last column is the parts total of each on the example house.

Acrow systems compared head to head
Pair	Type	Shared bay lengths	Only in the first	Only in the second	Shared depths	Parts on the house
Acrow SUPERCUPLOK – Acrow QUICKSTAGE	Different types: Cuplock / Wedge	3.05 m, 1.27 m	2.44 m, 1.83 m	2.43 m, 1.82 m, 0.76 m	1.27 m	589 / 549

Parts group by group on the same house

Each Acrow system planned on ScaFix’s example house (11.4 m × 5.3 m) with the default settings. The rows are the groups of the app’s parts list; «–» means the system has no part in that group. How the example is set up is on the methodology page.

Questions and answers

Can I mix parts from two Acrow systems in ScaFix?

No. ScaFix plans each wall with one system’s own parts and never mixes systems in a parts list. Whether two systems of one maker may be combined on site is for Acrow’s instructions to say. ScaFix is a planning aid, not a structural approval.

Why do the parts totals of the Acrow systems differ?

A wall is filled with each system’s own bay lengths, so a shorter bay means more bays, standards and ledgers; the depth changes the transoms and decks, and frame systems count frames where modular systems count standards and ledgers. The totals say nothing about price or load class.
