Plate and Straps PRODUCT RANGE

Plates and straps are vital structural connectors in construction, providing essential support and stability to various structural elements. They help distribute loads evenly, preventing stress concentrations and enhancing the overall integrity of buildings.

IMPORTANCE OF PLATES AND STRAPS

Plates and straps are crucial for connecting and reinforcing structural components, such as beams and columns. They improve load distribution and resistance to lateral forces, ensuring that structures can withstand various environmental stresses and maintain safety.

These connectors are particularly important in applications where structural integrity is paramount, such as in seismic zones or areas with high wind loads, providing the necessary strength to prevent failure.

APPLICATIONS OF PLATES AND STRAPS

Plates and straps are suitable for a variety of applications, including:

  • Timber Construction: Used to connect timber beams and trusses, enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of wooden structures.
  • Steel Framing: Employed in steel structures to connect beams and columns, ensuring a continuous load path and improving overall structural performance.
  • Bracing Systems: Essential in diagonal bracing applications, providing lateral support and enhancing the resistance of structures to wind and seismic forces.
