Paving / Tiling Applications

Specially profiled aluminium rails 20mm, 25mm or 50mm click onto headpiece without need for screws, drills or mechanical fixings for secure connection.

Powder coated headpiece prevents any reaction between steel and aluminium.

Integrated Class A2-s1,d0 Rail system for installing porcelain tiles and ceramic planks
Specially profiled bearer rails / joists click onto headpiece of Metalpad
Designed to give greater support to slabs and tiles and additional lateral strength across the deck
Faster installation of suspended paving and tiling projects
Secure connection into spring loaded headpiece fittings; no screws, no drilling on site
Large baseplates distribute weight efficiently reducing point loading
Greater spans between pedestals possible
Joist helps “tie together” pedestals, giving more lateral strength across the decking surface
Large height range using three different sized joists
Powder coated headpiece prevents reaction between steel and aluminium joist
Additional headpiece clicks onto joist to hold slab / tile in place
Clip head has four lugs for full support and uniform spacing of tile
Clip head slides along Rail for accurate measurement and total support
Fast, safe, secure construction of substructure
