Flat Joining Plate, Heavy Duty 2.0mm Galvanised Structural Timber Connector Z275 CE EN 14545

Premium 2.0mm Heavy Duty Structural Flat Connecting Joining Plates

This line of robust flat joining plates is specifically engineered for professional, load-bearing timber applications. Manufactured to the highest standards, these connectors provide critical structural stability for demanding projects, including roofing, framing, decking, and heavy-duty repairs.

CERTIFIED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (CE PN-EN 14545)

These plates are fully CE Marked and compliant with the essential European Standard PN-EN 14545:2008. This mandatory certification guarantees that the geometry, strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance are verified and suitable for use in load-bearing timber structures, such as roof trusses. Choosing certified hardware ensures regulatory compliance and project safety.

UNMATCHED CORROSION RESISTANCE (Z275 GALVANISED STEEL)

The plates are constructed from cold-rolled DX51D structural steel and finished with a superior Z275 hot-dip galvanising treatment. The Z275 coating provides 275 g/m2 of protective zinc mass, significantly exceeding the durability of standard galvanised fixings. This high-grade, long-lasting corrosion protection makes the plates resilient to harsh weather and ideal for exposed outdoor constructions, including sheds, fences, pergolas, and marine environments.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & INSTALLATION

All plates are uniformly 2.0 mm thick and feature universal perforation with 5 mm diameter holes. The flat design ensures simple, secure fitting onto any timber surface.

• Material: DX51D + Z275 Heavy Duty Steel.

• Mounting Recommendations: For optimal joint capacity and load transfer, use specific ANCHOR fasteners: dia. 4 mm ANCHOR nails or dia. 5 mm ANCHOR screws with a Torx20 socket.

• Professional Resource: For complex applications, users may refer to specialised resources (such as the online nailing plates wizard mentioned in accompanying documentation) which assist in calculating optimal nailing patterns (symmetrical layout, arbitrary layout) according to principles of PN EN 1995-1 (Eurocode 5).

Available in 9 critical structural sizes and bulk trade packs (up to 50 pieces) to suit projects of any scale.
