Galvanized perforated mounting tape is a high-strength fastener. It is used to connect or tighten individual elements in a single system. It can be called universal, since with the help of a perforated tape you can attach parts to any surface: concrete, metal, wood, stone, brick. It is often used in hard-to-reach places and provides reliable connection of structural elements.
Description and main characteristics
Galvanized mounting perforated tape is a perforated strip covered with a protective layer and having holes in its design for bolts, screws or self-tapping screws. Low carbon steel is used for its manufacture, which increases the service life toten years.
Zinc layer is applied to steel under hot pressure. The product is perfectly smooth without gaps and sagging. The coating thickness is from eight to ten microns. It protects the tape from the negative effects of precipitation and moisture and protects the product from rust and corrosion. Perforated tape is available in different widths and thicknesses for different uses.
This modern material is used to reinforce elements of building structures. Thanks to the tape, the rigidity and reliability of the connection is increased. With its help, you can attach additional parts to the main structure.
Perforation is very convenient for installation, fasteners (self-tapping screws, bolts) are screwed into the prepared holes. Hole sizes are selected in accordance with the design of the fastened elements.
The main features are the reliability of fastening building units where perforated tape is used. Low cost and ease of use have made it popular in construction work.
Ribbon variations
Punched tape is of three types:
- thin (suitable for connecting only lightweight parts);
- wavy (used when installing a ventilation and air conditioning system);
- reinforced (used to connect elements with sufficient weight).
The main function of punched tape can be easily identified by the shape of the holes and how far apart they are.
Scope of application
Most often, galvanized mounting perforated tape is used in the installation of pipelines, equipment of cable lines, heating and ventilation systems, air ducts. It is used in the manufacture of underfloor heating, connecting the heating cable and the concrete surface.
Another use of galvanized perforated mounting tape:
- Strengthening load-bearing structures.
- Creating mounting clamps and hangers.
- Securing wires and cables during electrical work.
- Strengthening the corners of plasterboard structures and window openings.
- Reinforcing brickwork.
- Strengthening truss supports in the construction of wooden houses.
- Fixing the wooden crate.
- Binding sheet material bundles.
The price of galvanized perforated mounting tape varies from 140 to 300 rubles per roll and depends on its type and purpose.
