Galvanised Steel Hook-On Plate Sets: Practical and Durable for Your PVC Strip Curtains
When setting up a strip curtain system, galvanised steel hook-on plate sets offer a practical and efficient solution for attaching PVC strips to galvanised steel hook-on rails. These plate sets are designed for straightforward installation and are ideal for environments where functionality and durability are the primary concerns.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Robust Construction: Crafted from galvanised mild steel, these hook-on plate sets are engineered to provide reliable performance in industrial settings. The galvanisation process imparts a protective coating that guards against rust and corrosion, making these plates suitable for use in various environments.
-
Easy Installation: Each set includes a front and back plate that are clamped together around the PVC strip using rivets, which are supplied free of charge. This design ensures a secure connection without the need for additional tools or complicated procedures. For convenience, the plates act as templates for drilling the necessary fixing holes in the PVC strips.
-
Versatile Applications: Available in widths of 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, and 400mm, these plate sets accommodate a range of PVC strip sizes. This flexibility allows them to be used for various curtain configurations, making them suitable for curtains up to 10 metres high.
-
Low Maintenance: Once installed, these galvanised steel plate sets require minimal upkeep. Their durable construction means they are built to withstand everyday use in commercial, industrial, and catering environments without the need for frequent maintenance.
-
Industrial Aesthetic: The galvanised finish gives these plate sets a rugged, industrial appearance, making them a good fit for settings where appearance is secondary to functionality. This look is particularly suitable for warehouses, loading docks, and other utilitarian spaces.
Installation and Use
Before attaching the plate sets, you’ll need to drill fixing holes into the PVC strips. A useful tip is to use the plate sets as templates for drilling, which ensures accurate placement and simplifies the process. Note that this system is best suited for light to moderate traffic, including pedestrian movement and occasional use by pump trucks or light forklifts. For heavy-duty applications or frequent use by powered vehicles, consider more robust alternatives such as the Twin-Track or heavy-duty Swivel-Hinge rail systems.
Longevity
The lifespan of the galvanised steel hook-on plate sets will depend on their usage and the conditions of the environment. Under normal conditions and with appropriate use, these plate sets are designed to last for many years, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for your strip curtain needs.
In summary, galvanised steel hook-on plate sets offer a dependable and economical choice for attaching PVC strips to curtain rails. Their durable construction, ease of installation, and minimal maintenance requirements make them an excellent option for various commercial and industrial applications where durability and functionality are paramount.
