FAQs

Can these plates be used outdoors?

Yes, the Z275 hot-dip galvanised coating provides excellent resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor applications.

What is the thickness of the LP1 plate?

The LP1 plate is constructed from 2.5mm thick high-strength steel.

Are fasteners included with the plate?

No, fasteners such as nails, screws, or bolts are sold separately to allow for flexibility in your specific project needs.

Are these plates CE certified?

Yes, they are CE certified and conform to the PN-EN 14545 standard.

Can I use these for roof trusses?

Yes, their high-strength design makes them suitable for structural timber joining applications, including roof trusses.

Does the hole pattern fit standard wood screws?

Yes, the multi-diameter hole pattern is designed to be compatible with a wide range of standard wood screws and nails.

Troubleshooting

Plate appears to move under load

Ensure that the fasteners used are the correct diameter for the plate holes and that they are driven fully into the timber substrate.

Surface rust appearing on edges

While the plate is galvanised, any field-drilling or cutting of the plate can expose raw steel. Apply a cold-galvanising spray to any modified edges.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance for outdoor use
  • Heavy-duty 2.5mm steel construction
  • Universal multi-diameter hole pattern
  • Meets professional PN-EN 14545 standards
  • Ideal for both DIY and professional construction

Cons

  • Requires specific fasteners not included in the package
  • Heavy weight due to 2.5mm steel thickness
  • Limited to flat surface joining applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure the timber surfaces are level and clean before positioning the plate. Secure the plate using structural-grade nails, wood screws, or bolts depending on your load-bearing requirements. Avoid using reactive metals that might cause galvanic corrosion; stainless steel or hot-dip galvanised fasteners are recommended. No special maintenance is required, though periodic inspection of the fasteners is advised for outdoor structures to ensure they remain tight.
