Metal Flat Fixing Strap – Steel – Drylining Applications

Product Overview

The 70mm Industrial Metal Flat Fixing Strap is essential for reinforcing and stabilizing drylining systems at critical junctions. Primarily used in partition construction, it supports horizontal plasterboard joints where walls extend beyond a single board height, preventing deflection or separation. Additionally, it is utilized in deflection head details, ensuring secure support while allowing for structural movement. Its flat profile ensures seamless integration within partition frameworks.

Features & Benefits

• Durable galvanised steel: Ensures strength and corrosion resistance.
• Horizontal joint reinforcement: Provides reliable support for tall partitions.
• Deflection head stability: Supports plasterboard edges while accommodating movement.
• Flat profile design: Allows for unobstructed board fixing.

Applications

• Plasterboard partitions: Reinforces horizontal joints in tall walls.
• Deflection head details: Supports edges in partitions meeting moving ceilings.
• Drywall lining systems: Adds rigidity to framed installations.
• Commercial and residential interiors: Suitable for offices, schools, healthcare, and housing projects.

Installation Guidance

• Preparation: Ensure framework alignment before installation.
• Flush positioning: Fit strap flat against the framework.
• Secure fixing: Use suitable screws at regular centers (300-400mm).
• Board support: Ensure horizontal edges are fully supported.
