REINFORCE SOLID TIMBER JOISTS WITH NOTCHES ALLOWING SERVICES TO PASS THROUGH WITH SIMPSON STRONG-TIE’S NEW KIT… Strengthen and protect notched joists
The SNRK Solid Joist Notch Reinforcement Kit allows you to safely notch timber joists, protecting services passing through them from accidental damage. Commonly the case in bathrooms, notching out solid timber joists allows plumbing pipes and cables to pass through the floor structure. However, doing so weakens the joists and exposes services to accidental damage from screws or nails coming from above. This kit includes an engineered steel reinforcement bracket with a bendable leg so it can easily be installed around existing services and onto the joist to help strengthen the joist at the notch point. The top plate covers the notch to ensure that screws used to fix the flooring to the joists will not penetrate pipes or cables beneath.
FEATURES OF THE KIT INCLUDE: • Can be retro-fitted to existing floors or installed in new ones in the same short time frame • Avoids the risk of flooring fastenings accidentally penetrating pipes or cables
• A convenient solution for up to five notched floor joists To find out more information, visit www.strongtie.co.uk
