Plastic connectors They were developed with steel reinforcement to Road plates, Ground protection mats or to couple load distribution plates on solid and sensitive substrates to create robust protective systems. This results in the greatest possible Loyalty to one's place Driving lanes, work platforms, storage areas or temporary access solutions with improved layout and uniformity power transmission within the network.
Only through the systematic couplings Several plates can be used Shear forces, walking movements and Elevation differences better absorb and compensate within the protective system. To ensure that protective panels can be connected to each other as continuously and stably as possible, depending on the installation method, the following applies: 2-way connector for linear crossing paths as well as 4-way connector For use with surface-coupled protective coverings with center and corner hole connections.
Why solid substrates need Plastic connectors
Protective plates are always necessary on solid and sensitive surfaces. laid floating This is necessary so that movements within the surface can be absorbed and compensated for. The connection technology must not, however, Protective effect of the tile covering impairing or damaging the substrate itself.
And our Plastic connectors were developed precisely for these requirements. They join protective plates as accurately as possible to form a durable, surface-integrated structure. to protect surfaces.
Plastic connectors are particularly suitable for:
- Paved surfaces
- Asphalt surfaces
- Natural stone surfaces
- Tiles
- Hall floors
- Industrial floors
Why protective plates only work as a system when coupled together
On solid surfaces, the following effects occur during crossings: Steering movements or Braking processes Continuous forces are exerted on the entire protective covering. Without a coupled connection, individual panels within the area can shift. move or work against each other.
This becomes particularly evident in so-called Walking movements within the system. Similar to a carpet that easily warps when heavy furniture is moved, or arches, movements also occur between the individual panels within larger protective coverings.
Only by coupling several plates can a stable and resilient surface be created. Interconnected system between the individual elements. In addition, load transfer and the Height network within the area.
Especially where there are differences in ground level, tripping hazards or uneven transitions can quickly arise. Coupled protective plates help to make movement areas smoother and more even. barrier-free to keep it usable, for example for pedestrians, wheelchairs, walkers or cyclists.
Especially in projects, construction sites or events in public space Based on our practical experience, a stable connection of the protective plates is absolutely essential to prevent safety problems, tripping hazards, or short-term issues. Road closures by public order offices and to avoid authorities.
Combined protective plates enable:
- To compensate for shear forces in a controlled manner
- to reduce walking movements within the system
- To minimize height differences between individual plates
- To reduce tripping hazards and uneven transitions
- To reduce rework and unnecessary interruptions
What has also proven effective on solid surfaces
On pavement, asphalt or other sensitive surfaces, the additional Use of construction protection mats or rubber mats between substrate and protective plate, based on many years of practical experience proven. In combination with coupled protective plates and suitable connection technology, movements within the system can be further reduced.
Additional separating layers help to prevent the Damping between the protective plate and the existing floor, they support Positional accuracy within the surface, they compensate for slight unevenness and help to avoid possible Noise emissions to reduce during use.
The additional use of construction protection mats or rubber mats as a separating layer improves:
- the damping between the protective plate and the substrate
- positional accuracy within the area
- to compensate for minor unevenness
- the reduction of potential noise emissions
2-way connectors for lanes and 4-way connectors for surfaces
2-way connector are particularly suitable for linear applications lanesThese include crossings, access roads, or temporary access solutions. They securely connect two plates together, thereby improving stability within the system.
4-way connector They are used wherever protective plates are needed. platform or area They can be coupled together in both longitudinal and transverse directions. This applies, for example, to event spaces, storage areas, or construction site setup areas.
Improved coupled protection systems:
- the hold within the system
- the vertical alignment between the slabs
- the power transmission within the area
- the stability of planar coupled plate systems
Advice on suitable joining technology for solid substrates
The most suitable connection technology always depends on the application and installation method. Since 2005, we have been involved in a wide variety of projects involving coupled protective systems on sensitive substrates. Our experience from rentals, sales, and practical applications is continuously incorporated into our connection technology.
With pleasure advice We will assist you in selecting suitable Plastic connectors and coordinated protective systems for lanes, work platforms or other temporary protective coverings on solid surfaces.
