The Diyuk Flat Joining Plate LP4 is designed for professional contractors and dedicated DIY enthusiasts who require a robust, CE-certified solution for timber framing, roof trusses, and outdoor structures. Its primary benefit lies in its heavy-duty 2.5mm galvanised steel construction which provides long-lasting structural integrity in both indoor and exterior settings; however, users should note that as a heavy-duty component, it requires precise alignment and appropriate fasteners to ensure it meets its full load-bearing capacity.

Yes, the Z275 zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for coastal environments.
Absolutely, it is well-suited for internal timber framing, roof trusses, and structural support systems.
The plate conforms to the PN-EN 14545 standard for structural metal connectors.
The plate is manufactured from 2.5mm thick DX51D steel.
No, fasteners must be purchased separately based on your specific project requirements.
Yes, if you wish to change the appearance, you can use a suitable metal primer followed by outdoor-rated paint.
Ensure you are using the correct diameter screw or nail and verify that the hole is not obstructed by debris.
Pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the diameter of your fastener to reduce pressure on the wood fibers.
Installation requires basic carpentry tools including a hammer or drill, depending on your chosen fastener. Always align the plate perfectly parallel with the grain of the timber to ensure maximum load distribution. For coastal or highly corrosive environments, use stainless steel or hot-dip galvanised fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the connection. The plate requires no maintenance once installed; however, it is recommended to conduct an annual inspection of the joints to ensure fasteners remain tight and no signs of wood movement or rot are affecting the structural bond.
