Ancon 500 Tension System renamed to Halfen Detan-D
New name, same quality product.
As a future-oriented, innovative company Leviat focuses on the ever-changing requirements of the industry, and our latest development combines the portfolio of Ancon and Halfen Tension Systems to ensure we meet the individual requirements of our customers.
Our full range of tension rod systems now belong to the Halfen brand. Both solutions meet the highest aesthetic, safety and quality requirements and provide a stainless steel and carbon steel solution.

The Halfen Detan-D (previously known as the Ancon 500 Tension System) is our high quality, aesthetically-designed stainless steel solution, available in a variety of finishes. The Halfen Detan-S is a carbon steel system offering additional diameters and higher load capacity with the complete system being available in hot-dip galvanized steel, including brushed threads.
Both systems have a European Technical Assessment (ETA) and can be detailed in our free design software, available to download here.
