| bigHead fasteners withstand high loading  When Chelsea Artisans renovated the atrium of an old London building there was a major technical issue to overcome. The building structure was not strong enough to carry the weight of traditional limestone slabs 75mm thick. Much thinner lightweight panels were selected in sizes up to 2.20m x 1.10m requiring an innovative fastening solution to secure them in position. The panels were securely and discretely anchored in place with bigHeads, which because of their unique design do not require much material thickness to withstand high loading. In extensive pre-install testing bigHead's TwinDisk exceeded 330Kg tensile load.write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
